I would travel back to either a Mirage Show, preferably the LA show where the Mirage video was taped or an Early Behind the Mask show.

And the McVies...Don't forget the McVies. By then, they were both pros with the bottle.

I think he meant that it was a good solid performance, that they weren't out of control, out of tune, etc. despite any substances they may have been on.

September 1, 1980, Hollywood Bowl. No question.

November 1979 at Madison Square Garden on the Tusk tour (my first FM show) or any show on the Mirage tour. Indianapolis in 1982 was pretty great.

I like my Fleetwood Mac simple - no back up singers or additional players.
I like it raw and flawed, with offkey harmonies, so that nothing is left to overshadow the energy of Mick, John and Lindsey.

Second: Boston tea party. Even only for the 25 min. Rattlesnakeshake/Madge/mash.

ok you guys want to hear a true stevie/christine story???? ...

my jazz arranging instructor is a very good stand up bass player... doesn't play the electric as well... anyway....

he was a chef in kansas city (not a chief)... and he cooked for the celeb's that came thru town at the catered events... .like at arrowhead stadium etc....

and he met stevie and fm a few times because they were in KC quite a bit in 70's and 80's...

anyway he said stevie was so coked up one show rehearsal... before a real show.. and she came up to him and said... "greg... i gotta go on soon and i'm all freaked out... i haven't eaten and i need something that's gonna get me to snap out of it..."

editor's note: greg is telling me this story in a santa monica bar called "o'briens' on wilshire blvd we were drinking guiness on tap...

so he says to Stevie, "give me 5 mins i'll come find you, stay in this room.... she says thank you".....

he brings her back a spicy cajun... tofu burrito .... and says.. "now stevie this is gonna be real hot but i want you to bite down on it before you swallow it regardless..."

stevie grabs burrito and bites down and starts to make a snarling sound.... he yells at her... bite down one more!!! one more... she bites down again... he hands her some water.... she chugs it.... he says she has her head down for about 3 mins which was a long time to him... then she lifts her head up... grabs him for a hug... says i love you greg.... christine makes her way over to her and says ... c'mon we gotta go to make up....

so i asked him... did christine say anything to you... (i'm a huge chris fan) he says "oh yeah man... she was always hounding me to get her the best champagne i could get my hands on....

he later noted, he saw chris jamn at a kent state univ... and as an upcoming jazz bassist he thought she "was the ****" as he put it.....and stevie was a doll

that's a true story on hearsay from my instructor.... i can picture it in my head because i've loved FM for so long....

Any 79/80 Tusk concert.
Or, alternatively, any Mirage concert.
Or The Dance.

Why do I always have to be reminded that FM have never played and never will play where I live

?

I would have loved to see their Oakland Stadium shows in 1976. The old Day on the Green concerts. I think those were played while they were recording Rumours.
I did get to see a few shows on the Tusk Tour and their Oakland date on the Mirage Tour, and they were really great onstage. Like everyone's been saying-I liked them before they had all that backup onstage with them.
