Concert Review:
(Universal Amphitheatre, August 27, 1976)
published in Billboard, September 11, 1976
(by Ed Harrison)

Appearing as headliners in its hometown, Fleetwood Mac gave an energetic performance before an adulating capacity crowd. The timing was right as its Warner Bros. LP hit the top of the charts that week. The group performed songs from the past, present & future.

The set opened with Christine McVie serenading "Say You Love Me," which registered a favorable response with the crowd. McVie then went into "Spare Me a Little," a moderate hit from a few years back. Besides a clear & sultry voice, she demonstrated her strength as a fine keyboard player.

Probably the most impressive number was "Rhiannon," with vocalist Stevie Nicks dressed in a black flowing gown that further enhanced this chilling visual tale of an ancient witch. Her striking poses & powerful voice were complemented nicely by Lindsey Buckingham's precise guitar riffs & Mick Fleetwood's background drum rolls.

Another Nicks vocal, "Landslide," which she dedicated to the audience, displayed the depth of her voice. Other favorites included "Over My Head" & a 15-minute rendition of "World Turning." The group previewed a song from its forthcoming LP called "You Make Loving Fun," a McVie vocal with the same commercial appeal found in its current successes.

Peter Ivers made his concert debut opening the show. This physically small man with a lot of energy gave an amusing performance of lighthearted comedic tunes. Gyrating up & down, relying on feminine hand gestures, he pacified an expectant audience waiting for the headliners.

Among his wacky tunes were "I'm Sorry Alice," "Peter," which he said was a love song to himself, & "Gilbert & Sylvia."

The most impressive number was "Eighteen & Dreaming," a rocking fifties tune with a credible falsetto. Ivers, who plays harmonica, shows great potential.

One Fan's Story:
by Tim Roberts, San Antonio, Texas

To the right you'll see a ticket stub to probably the best concert, definitely the best Fleetwood Mac show I've had the pleasure to experience in my 47 years. It was held at the San Antonio Municipal Auditorium on Monday, May 19, 1975 in San Antonio, Texas.

First it rained so hard that night it was extremely difficult to get to the venue. Once I got there, there were only about 500 people showed up to see the show.

The opening act was to be Kansas but their plane couldn't land at the airport so they were no shows. The promoter came out and asked if everyone wanted the show to go on or get refunds, of course no one there wanted to go back out in the rain and we were stoked to see Fleetwood Mac. Then he told everyone in the balcony to come down to the floor seats. We were already on the floor so we moved to the 4th row, right in the center.

Once everyone was down FM came out and played every single song on the White Album! Then they started to take requests and talking with the audience! They played every request we asked for! From Bare Trees to Future Games. They were on stage over three plus hours. Joking, talking,singing and carrying on like the audience were old friends. Incredible!

I still can't believe I was so fortunate to have been there that magical evening.
