I wondered actually if you'd seen them in the 70s, Hell

No, I knew they were around, people I knew had Bare Trees, Mystery to Me (I'm having to look all this up - lol), Heroes Are Hard to Find, the pre-Buckingham-Nicks era which was quite a bit different, as I remember, but I can't find any sample tunes on iTunes or Amazon. In the second half of the 70s, B&N really reshaped the band and they really went big, but by that time I was working the big nightclub and going to shows, to work, every week. I know I kind of considered the Mac to be too poppy at the time, but that was just me being snobby I suppose. Of course that's when Elvis Costello happened and I was lost to that, and punk was starting to sneer, and sneer in particular at bands like Fleetwood Mac. So now, I consider the Mac to be one of the great bands that kind of got away.

Annnd… it didn't take much to take me back and remember what I liked about that time. Yes, we had color video in 1977, but this one has the best performance and sound and that's what it's all about after all..

Sorry, I didn't realize the YouTube embed thingy didn't work. So much to do…

Also this, from the same album. I actually had a Vox organ with the "S" shaped legs that I put together from a kit, and I had always thought it sounded kind of cheesy until EC came along. Never mind that Ray Manzarek in the Doors had one too.

I saw Elvis Costelo perform only a couple of times during that era, but the shows were intense, and it was amazing to see him sweat clear through those suit jackets by the third song.

I never knew these videos existed - OMG!!

yeah the early FM is more '60s blues' I think


it is poppy but I've been making a concerted effort to listen to 'all different types' of music lately

Fleetwood Mac was a great band, I know that now.

Yeah, my listening tastes have really widened over the years, although there are limits. I even gave ABBA a chance, but when a family member had them on EVERY DAY for about 5 days, I couldn't take it any more. GAH.

Which is the other thing that was going on in the late 70s, but something that I feel no need to expend any effort to appreciate. DISCO!

This clip was on the tube the other night, I'm proud to say I had never seen if before. Or ever watched it all the way through. Or ever will.

ETA: Sorry, you asked about Fleetwood Mac and I kinda went off on all kinds of tangents.

I wish Polly would do something like this:

gallery show of Stevie Nicks self-portraits (self-portraits --- isn't that way better than 'selfies' ?!?! haha)

https://www.morrisonhotelgallery.com/ph ... pherID=164



$2000 for a print is a bit steep tho hahaha

Stevie Nicks addresses Don Henley baby rumors


I'm confused, was this before or after Lindsey Buckingham?

Also John Peel? I wouldn't doubt it. No not THAT way.

Also, I misread the price of the poloroids as $200 and though MFG that's steep! For POLOROIDS. I know retro is cool but.. I wonder if they would be worth more if the color had run as it does with so many old poloroids.

after Lindsay Buckingham .... and after Mick Fleetwood

sometimes I think she enjoys going along with these rumours and stories haha

reading up as I have over the past few months - MANY conflicting answers

but I guess that's to be expected in such a long career, too.... one wouldn't want to repeat themselves! hahahaha

the John Peel doc was great - 'rock family tree' or some such thing...


I think some of the polaroids have been treated, not sure. no way in hell I'd pay that anyway hahaha
