I scanned my CD insert and the original is kinda crappy.

Never seen other versions of this pic. Someione over at 7W has contact with the photographer, Herbert Worthington, and asked him about that photo. He said it was at some club where they were playing that evening and they were just walking throught the building and posing for photos here and there.
I would love to see those other photos but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

Hmm...interesting. Makes sense. They started touring in May, & the album didn't come out until July.

I'd rather have an album of that show at the club.

This photo always made me think Stevie was a natural brunette, when I was a kid. Not until many years later when I saw a childhood pic of her did it dispel that myth from my mind. It still seems charming to me though, a simple blouse with what appears to be trousers. Much more grounded looking than what she was soon to create for herself as a stage 'look'.

The question is, During which part specifically of that 1975 tour did Stevie switch over to dripping black chiffon, suede platform boots & top hat? By the time the band played late November gigs in Southern California & the Bay Area, Stevie was in drippy chiffon, according to concert reviews published in Billboard & photos from Northern California concerts that were sold on eBay.

I'd like to see a big picture thread of FM concert photos from 1975 for us to be able to put together some sort of costume timeline.

When I see those early photos of FM in concert where Stevie is in her bluejeans, I figured she loved the way Christine dressed one day and so she adopted that look for herself. You might notice Christine had that "look" first.

Are you out there?

Yes, BUT it's very hard to put dates on concert pics from 1975, so I'm not sure if a timeline is possible (but it would be fun) I only have a date for these pics:

October 20, 1975 Veterans Memorial Coliseum New Haven, CT:


Stevie's in black and there's some chiffon at the sleeves but not a whole lot, you could say it wasn't at "full force" yet so she probably stated wearing it only shortly before that, I guess?

That's interesting. I didn't know those shots were from the Yale gig in '75. That might be the gig recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour radio show. (There's some serious disagreement about whether that radio show was New Jersey or the Coliseum at Yale.)

One of those shots above is in the Carr & Clarke book.

Did you buy any of those shots of Stevie & Chris at the San Jose Civic Auditorium in November 1975? Stevie's dressed about the same, but with top hat. I think what happened (& Stevie said something like this in one of her radio interviews) is that Fleetwood went on the road in May & stayed out through the summer. At that point, Stevie was packing a bunch of suitcases & was getting annoyed at having to rifle through her belongings before every show. So she got together with Margi & they decided she'd wear dripping chiffon for every show -- skirt & leotard essentially, plus the platform boots, which looked good with the raggy, billowy skirt. So by the time the band went on its fall/winter tour, Stevie was in her trademark getup, & that getup really solidified into The Look well in time for the major touring the following year. (Even the Midnight Special appearances, which were recorded later in 1975, have the smaller amount of chiffon rather than the huge amount.)

I've found these pictures online, a photoagency had that date on the info for the pics. But in general, it's very hard to find photo's with dates for the white album tour, the Rumours tour is better documented and there's lots of pics & dates for Tusk concerts but unfortunately almost nothing for 1975 (one of the reasons I find pictures from that tour so interesting)

There's also this pic that always seemed so strange to me, Stevie just looks weird for some reason. Doesn't look like she's wearing chiffon here either, just a black top:


Or what about Stevie performing in a flower skirt?(I guess she really liked it, she had in in differend colors and it showsp up at several photoshoots and occassions:


Another strange outfit, big chiffon sleeves but what the hell is she wearing over it?
