    Awesome concert! I love the fact that you are getting to hear one of the first times the entire band that we know as Fleetwood Mac played together. It's great hearing the reaction of the crowd as they hear songs like Rhiannon and Landslide for the first time ever.

    What a great group and thanks to airwave bombardment of that time period, you almost took them for granted. Their music stands the test of time--all three singers. Too bad Christine developed a fear of flying and has opted to retire from touring. I associate Stevie and Lindsay most closely with the Mac sound, but Christine was a vital part, too.

    Stevie is absolutely awesome! Great and strong voice! Kingfish, why do you speak of Christine like she is not alive?? Fleetwood Mac will go down in history as an awesome band!

    I have been looking for this recording for YEARS. How come there is no download option/cost?

    I was at this show expecting to see a Bob-Welch led FM. Instead, after Golden earing and Henry Gross (Shannon Is Gone...), THIS group came out. There was true disappointment and some anger in the crowd. At least we heard some old FM (Station Man / Hynotized). It was neat watching Chris kind of take charge of the group as a reluctant, uncomfortable frontperson. I loved the backdrop the group used in the 74-75 tours, brown birds(?) arrising out of Mick's drums. Also loved Mick's demented African talking drum feature section that is sadly missing here. Hey: The Capitol was a great venue. We saw John Sebastian in the summer of 76 riding "Welcome Back." Awful sound until the encore when he put the guitar down, picked up the autoharp and did Summer in the City and Didn't Have to Be So Nuce. His opening act was Billy Joel!

    When we got word Fleetwood Mac was coming in June of '75 we signed on, even though there was a new lineup, past history of their music and my concert experiences said go. In the last week before the show they changed the venue from a suburban St. Louis club to Kiel Opera House, a great hall, with capacity going from 800 to 3500, guess they underestimated sales. I found a few hits of old acid in my wallet so we were primed. I never was truly a Stevie fan however the new stuff with her was good, but twirling capes aren't needed as I usually provided my own visuals. When she left the stage though we got a better view of what Lindsay had to offer, and the band really plunged into some deeper explorations on the themes they were putting out there. They'd construct this amazing wall of sound that had such solid and soulful depth, then Lindsay would break through with an fantastic burst and the music was simply flying through all of us. Christine was sick that night and couldn't make it all the way through the show, so then we were down to the power trio set-up for a good portion of the concert and all of our little group were simply dazzled. For some reason most of the crowd offered just polite applause but we were truly captivated. Could be that our altered states came into play, but we were definitely on the wavelength, in the moment. Not long after, as most of you recall, this album went through the roof as folks statred to catch on to the pop oriented slant of this incarnation. But in concert this group, at this time, was as great a concert experience I'd had in my life; and that covers a lot of shows with almost everyone of name from 1969 on. I'm glad I was there and peaking for this one.
