John Stewart (as you probably know) opened all those shows, & on opening night, I think, in L.A. fans were pretty restless for Stevie Nicks & John was very good about it. He joked around a lot & he quipped that Stevie would be flying in on her broomstick any moment now. Nobody knew what she was going to sing. There was a very active fan contingent all over the country even back then, & we traded concert tapes & tape lists (with mimeographed photos from our collections on them), but because the tour was over practically before it started, information didn't have a chance to circulate. Most fans in Los Angeles actually thought that Stevie would not sing any Fleetwood Mac songs. We argued & we placed bets. I argued on the phone with a fan named Jennifer Perkins. Most people actually thought that Stevie would not perform all the famous songs she wrote with Fleetwood Mac. Huge ignorance on everyone's part, but it wasn't anyone's fault because this was the very first time Stevie Nicks was doing this. (I think some people thought it would be the last time she was doing this, too.)

I was born way too late, a fact which vexes me to no end sometimes.

You & me both, pal.
