And while we're tracking mystery pictures...

...there's a very famous one (it's in the Rumours piano/vocal book, if nowhere else) of Stevie playing acoustic with the Mac, at what looks like a live concert rather than a staged shot.

Anyone have ANY clue which song it is?

Nope. I've wondered for years. There are a few clues, though.

1. Christine's hair is single-curled with the curling iron. She did this in early '77.

2. Chris has an effects box on her electric piano, which she used only on "Gold Dust Woman," to my knowledge. That supports the '77 date.

3. Chris is playing the organ, which for '77 eliminates "Say You Love Me," "Rhiannon," "Landslide," "Station Man," "Gold Dust Woman," "Second Hand News," "Don't Stop" & "Believe Me."

4. Lindsey is playing the Les Paul, which for '77 eliminates "Landslide," "Oh Daddy," "Never Going Back Again" & what else? "Over My Head"? "The Green Manalishi"?

5. Stevie is singing, which for '77 eliminates "Oh Well."

6. Stevie is in pants, which might indicate a '77 tour dress rehearsal rather than an actual show.

Ok, going by your detective work David, any chance Stevie could be playing the acoustic section of Go Your Own Way during a rehearsal for the Rumours tour?

p.s. can somebody please post a link to this pic so I can see it! thanks!

"Over My Head" - yes - Lindsey on Strat
"Green Manalishi" - no, at least not if the '75 footage I have is any guide
but you missed
"Monday Morning" - yes - Telecaster

As far as what she's playing: IIRC she's playing something capoed up the neck, while Lindsey's playing a low F chord - could WELL be "Go Your Own Way".

At first i thought no way could she be playing "Go Your Own Way"...but then again, stranger things have happened. I mean, I never thought i'd see Christine performing in concert on acoustic guitar as well as pounding the snare drum!

Any chance of me seeing this pic? I think i know which one it is...but it's only a close shot of Stevie with the acoustic.

Sorry for the ignorance but... when did that happen??? I'm a new Fleetwood Mac fan AVID to learn more...

Song of the moment - Show Me A Smile

Thanks a lot! What a great picture! What song is that by the way?? (All I can tell is that it looks like it's from the Tusk tour!)

Now if somebody could please post that picture of Stevie playing the guitar (as described above) I'd be a very happy bunny...!

cheers!

EnchantedStorms · #9 11-18-2002, 11:51 PM

You're welcome! But sorry, lol...I have no idea what song it was. I was just looking at pics on the net one day, a long time ago, and found this one. I do agree that it looks like the Tusk era, though. Anyone else have any ideas?

On the outtake reel of the Tusk documentary, Lindsey, Stevie and Christine sing "Save Me a Place" with Chris and Lindsey both playing guitar. I don't know if that's what they're doing there, but it's the only other time I've seen Chris with a guitar and it was during the Tusk tour, so it could be.

macfan 57 · #11 11-19-2002, 06:45 AM

Christine definitely played guitar on "Save Me A Place." I have a video from a live 1979 show in Landover, MD and she played guitar on that song. By the way, that outtake from the Tusk Documentary, I believe is from a Tusk Rehearsal, not an actual live show. I also have the video of the rehearsal, and "Save Me A Place" is on there, too with Chris on guitar. She also plays guitar on "The Ledge" on the rehearsal tape. I have another video from a live 1978 show in Landover, MD on the Rumours tour and she played drums on "Second Hand News" on there.

Thanks, Nancy! But okay, now I have a question, lol.

How many different Tusk documentary/outtake/rehearsal videos are there? I have the Documentary, and the outtake video, where Lindsey rolls his eyes at Stevie, lol... but, is this the same one where Chris is playing guitar? 'Cause I don't remember that being on there.

Then again, I haven't watched it in a really long time, so maybe I just forgot.

EnchantedStorms · #13 11-19-2002, 08:29 AM

Well, I just read Macfan57's post....and now I definitely know I am gonna have to dig out all those videos and watch them again, lol!

I have those two Landover videos also, but I guess I was off in SnL la la land or something

, because I sure as heck don't remember Chris playing drums. Come to think of it, though...seems like I do remember her playing guitar on one of them. Too bad there's not a video of Stevie playing. That would be cool.

I have the Largo (Landover, MD) shows from both 1979 and 1978....anyway, what is this "outtake from the Tusk Documentary"???

macfan 57 · #15 11-19-2002, 10:42 AM

The Tusk Outtakes is a bootleg video of footage that never made the final commercially released Tusk Documentary tape. There's a little behind the scenes footage, some live footage that I believe is from the St. Louis show and more footage from a Tusk tour rehearsal. It's actually pretty good quality, too.
