A color pic of Fleetwood Mac playing in Hyde Park 8-24-68.
I must've been one of the earliest performances with Danny. He was still using his cheapo Watkins Rapier guitar. Peter is playing a Strat!!

I wonder if that's the smallest stage they ever played on? There's hardly room for them to stand with all the gear onstage. And, it looks like Mick didn't have room to set up his whole kit.

Absolutely beautiful!!!

I wonder if there are more photos from the gig. It's always a thrill to see "new" old pictures.
Thank you so much, Cussion!!!

I like how the PA speakers are roped to a step ladder

And a "new" old color picture at that. This is wonderful.

Great to see "new pictures" - where have you found it?

Cussion, you're my hero (for the moment, it'll be PG again in a couple of minutes

)

According to the "Tourbooks", Danny joined FM august 14. So he must heave been with the band for 10 days by then. I wonder how far he was on the setlist. In my band when we got new guitar players it took them aproximately 6 months until they could play the full list of songs (about 60). But then, Danny was a talented musician.

I think Jeremy's behind that speaker on the left!

I think Jeremy is right behind Mick Fleetwood to the left of the girl with the long dark hair. You can see the top of the neck of his guitar sticking up. Very very crowded on the tiny stage!

Yeah, I think that's him. I can see his curly hair.

Funny how Danny is on the other side of the stage to the rest of the band. I guess as the new boy he wasn't quite part of the "in crowd".

Well where else is he going to play, on top of Mick's drums? That's the smallest stage platform I've ever seen.

I'm sure Jeremy played to Danny's right when he did his numbers.
