Capitol Theatre (Passaic, NJ) Jun 7, 1975



Listen to more Fleetwood Mac at Wolfgang's Vault.

This is one of the very first live shows of the classic Fleetwood Mac lineup that included Mick Fleetwood, John and Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Fleetwood Mac, formed after McVie and Fleetwood left John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in 1966, had made its mark in both Europe and the U.S. as a British blues rock band; it wasn't until its mid 1970s Bare Trees era version, with singer /songwriters Bob Welch and Danny Kirwin at the helm, that the band began to move in a more purely pop direction.

This recording captures the band at that exciting time, during their transition from British blues-rockers to Top 40 pop music superstars. Shortly after the recording of this show, the band's status in the U.S. and the rest of the world would explode with the release of hits like "Rhiannon," "Landslide" and "I'm So Afraid." Each of those songs, along with the band's rare version of the Welsh-written hit, "Hypnotized," are part of this short but historic performance. Not to be missed.

FLEETWOOD MAC 1975: Saunders Field House at Mesa State Junior College

Mesa State yearbook
THE WAY WE WERE: 
Good concert, bad concert
It had to have been the best pre-punk, pre-big hair 1970s concert in Saunders Field House at Mesa State Junior College. “I was working at The Timbers Restaurant in November of 1975. I got the night off to go see Fleetwood Mac at the college. It was one of their first stops on their first tour and man was I surprised when a couple of girls got on stage, Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks.” remembers Ralph “Dinosaur” Donnen, past Mesa College class president.

Mike Radosevich was the Station Manager at KMSA at the time. “It was an incredible show. Everything was perfect and just the opposite of the Jerry Jeff Walker concert. Nobody knew the Fleetwood Mac album was going to do as well as it did. It was one of their first gigs with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.”    Continue To Full Article

The decade where Fleetwood Mac ruled the world! Cars were the size of aircraft carriers and no one really cared about living, they cared more about L-I-V-I-N-G...

WOLFGANGS VAULT.... VINTAGE FLEETWOOD MAC PHOTOS 75, 77 & 79

A really amazing collection of photos at Wolfgangs Vault in the photo section.  If you've never been to the site, it's a must!   Loads of really vintage photos (which are a little pricey) and live shows to stream from the concert vault - or buy (at a reasonable cost).  And not of only Fleetwood Mac, but pretty much every band to come along since the 60's & 70's. Just a great site all around. You'll learn a lot and hear alot!

I noticed they've added more photos to the site since the last time I visited, which was sometime ago... Fleetwood Mac in New Haven, CT - 1975 & 1979 at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum and Hartford, CT at the Civic Center - 1977.  Here are just a sample... There's more at the site.

Photographer, Joe Sia, captured moments by focusing on the faces of the performers, the crowd, and by giving the background, whether simple or wild, the importance it deserved in defining the artist and event.

CHRISTINE MCVIE DENY'S VILLAGERS ACCESS TO STOUR RIVER

AN IDYLLIC village is being shaken by a row between a retired rock star and one of Big Brother’s most notorious contestants.

This time, however, “Nasty” Nick Bateman, kicked out of Big Brother’s first series for his double-dealing with his housemates, is not seen as the villain. That role is being assigned to Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie, who wrote Don’t Stop, which became President Clinton’s campaign song.

Tensions rose after Ms McVie joined a consortium last year to buy fields next to the Little Stour river in the village of Wickhambreaux, near Canterbury in Kent. She has lived in the village for more than a decade and was worried that the fields near her home would be used for unsightly poly-tunnels. However, her consortium promptly fenced off the fields, denying the villagers access to the river.

Ms McVie, now 66, left Fleetwood Mac in 1997 and now guards her privacy ferociously. Her palatial home is surrounded by high hedges and big fences and she rarely emerges except to walk her dogs. She hasn’t been photographed for a decade.

In an interview 10 years ago she said she enjoyed shopping in Canterbury without being mobbed.

A pair of water engineers wanting to check drainage on her land were told to go away because she didn’t want to see anybody.
