So, even as a kid, when you first heard Tusk you immediately liked it? I remember getting it after hearing Sara on the radio and being disappointed in the album as a whole. It took me awhile to warm up to it. Michele

Yes, absolutely!

Ina different way than Rumours. I dont know how I was able to do that at 9, but I guess I had an appreciation for the difference between it and Rumours.

That's how I felt when I got the album. I cut school the day it was released, just to go get that record and went immediately to a friends house to listen to it (his parents were at work). Not all of my friends were smitten with it the way I was. I loved it because there was so much music in so many different styles. And I loved Stevie's new hairstyle.

I also got to go to both Madison Square Garden shows in November 1979 and we had great seats because my friends father was "connected". We were in the 5th row for both nights. The only reason my parents let me go (I was 16) is because my friends older brother was going. Little do they know that we smoked so much weed that night

All that weed and all these years later I can still see Stevie up there, working the crowd. Squatting, stomping, screaming, singing Landslide

Great memories!

It doesnt matter where we're from. Whether it be NYC like yourself or here in the midwest of Minneapolis, Fleetwood Mac's music has been there for us.

From this angle, Stevie looks like she's dressed like Mrs. Roeper on Three's Company.

I was at this show....28 years ago today! I was 13 years old and was there with my best friend, my sister and my brother-in-law. And...it was my first concert ever. The Rosemont Horizon had only recently opened as the roof had collapsed a year or so prior. As a joke, many people in the audience were wearing hard hats!

I was completely overwhelmed by this concert. I was FINALLY seeing the band that I loved live and "in person." Seeing Stevie perform her amazing version of Rhiannon was like having a religious experience. And I cleary remember the pulse of John's bass during The Chain. It was like a living thing.

I cried when they left the stage. It was magnificent!

While seeing it described as one of the best Rhiannons ever and then reading that you were actually in the audience for it is amazing. What a wonderful "first concert" memory to carry with you.
