I don’t know why it’s so blurry

I heard this album for the first time when it released on Spotify the other year and I think it is phenomenal. Generally been more of a fan of pre-nicks/Buckingham anyway, but this compilation of og hits with bob welch performing his damn heart out gets towards the top of my FM tier list

Have to mention these versions of green manalishi and future games as they're great

im getting a tattoo soon and aslong as i remember ive wanted to get the same tattoo john mcvie has but i cant find any clear photos of it to use as a reference does anyone maybe have a clear photo or just any idea on how to find a clear enough reference

Can someone pixelate this image for me 128x128 pixels I’m tryna make map art in Minecraft I’m so stressed right now 😭

In order are “Big Love”, “Seven Wonders”, “Little Lies”, and “Everywhere”.

Technically, “Family Man” also got a music video, but it’s just the “Seven Wonders” video mixed in with old footage.

Please dont ban me….

I’ve been trying to make a full set list album of the dance for a while now, I’ve found all songs apart from not that funny, eyes of the world and second hand news, oh daddy and stand back (unsure if that was actually played) does anyone have a link? To those songs?
Thanks!

Released October 12th, 1979! What are y’alls favorite songs? Least favorites? Favorite stories revolving the sessions/tour? Most of my favorite FM songs and live recordings from the BN era are from Tusk :)

Hey all, so I've been wanting to get a comprehensive list of lost tracks, demos, outtakes, etc. from the Kirwan-Welch lineup in 1971-1972. Only looking for separate songs, not demos of already released tracks. There's only a handful of these and some where only the live versions are available, it's unknown if there's even studio recordings of them. Just looking for some help on this, if anyone has any additional recordings or tracks available to add to this list please let me know. Thanks!

Stone - from the Future Games outtakes, later added onto the expanded CD edition of the album in the 1969-1974 collection from 2020

Baby It's Alright Now - Doesn't count since its a Spencer-Kirwan lineup track, but thought I'd just throw it on here for now

Bad Man Blues (Live) - Recording from the Whiskey a Go Go on Nov 22nd 1971. Haven't been able to find a studio version

Ride 'Em Cowboy (Live) - Recording from Nov 21st 1971. Also haven't found a studio version.

Trinity - Bare Trees outtakes, same as Stone, was finally added in the 2020 collection

Pessoal, tô planejando minha próxima tattoo e quero muito homenagear o Fleetwood Mac, mas procuro algo sutil, minimalista e marcante.

​Quem tiver tatuagens da banda ou quiser compartilhar designs/referências, deixa aqui nos comentários! Quero montar uma seleção de ideias. Agradeço desde já pela ajuda! ✨🖤

Lindsey was a surprise guest at sombr's Kia Forum show in Inglewood. Full performance here

I just came across the solo work of Stevie Nicks, and I can't stop wondering why it isn't more famous? Yes I know she got inducted as a solo act in the Rock n Roll hall of fame. But nobody thinks of Stevie Nicks solo, valid, but I think you should at least know her solo stuff, it is great and succesful too.

New here, just now digging into FM's music, and wanted to share a funny anecdote for those who might be interested :D

My mom was a makeup artist in the 70s, and in 1975 (I think), Stevie hired my mom to do her makeup for a show in our city. My mom had no idea who Fleetwood Mac was, though it was right during the moment they were starting to take off.

So, my mom did Stevie's makeup, apparently Stevie was a total sweetheart, and she gave my mom backstage passes for the whole night and my mom was able to enjoy the show from just off stage. After the show, the band invited her to party with them, and also gave her the address of their summer home in Florida - she declined partying with them because she was afraid they were going to do drugs (she wasn't wrong, was she! 😅️), and she tossed the address in the trash because she didn't see any reason she'd go to Florida to hang out with these people she'd just met for a job 🫣️

Next Monday she went to work and told her colleagues about her weekend... her colleagues lost their absolute shit, considering Fleetwood Mac was becoming huge, and my mom had had absolutely zero idea who they were 💀️

But my mom always held Stevie in the highest regard, always speaking so fondly of her and saying what a sweet, gentle soul she was, even as she was becoming an international celebrity.

Edit: my god, this is a hostile sub... I'm brand new, just started listening to this band yesterday, and I made two posts... this one got half the comments implying or even telling me the story my mom told me is a lie (or feeling like they're accusing ME of lying... and honestly, who in the world makes up such a strange story for the sake of like 50 upvotes??? Christ...), and my other one where I just asked about the band since I don't know much of anything about them got so majorly downvoted and almost all the comments were so aggressive (simply because I don't know anything about this band?) that I ended up just deleting it...

Honestly, these people here putting into my head that a beloved story from my dead mother was a lie has been most painful... I only wanted to share a cute story with FM fans because I thought you might enjoy it... but the result was actually kind of painful...

What a nasty "welcome" to a fan base... y'all sure know how to keep new fans away! 🥲️

personally for me it's that's all for everyone, or family man

I just want to say, I LOVE the guitar work on this song!

Does anyone have the alternate Tusk on vinyl who can confirm if the tracks are edited down from the digital/streaming version? I’m finding conflicting info online. I’d hate if it didn’t have the the full 8:45 version of Sara for instance.

I am just curious if there's 80s music that would scratch the itch similar to what Tango does. It has two parts I really like. The drums, guitars all over 80s pop music. I feel like the drums in Caroline remind me of a lot of songs, I instantly think of like Peter Gabriel, Tears for Fears. If you know of any other songs like that. Isn't it Midnight feels very much like an Annie Lennox song thats kind of hair metal. The other half of the albums songs are spacey, dreamy, fairytale, synthy but with bongos and other live instrumentation. Seven Wonders, Everywhere, Welcome to the room Sara, If I see you again.

I really forgot how amazing I find Tango. I prefer the first 4 albums of theirs to this one, buts its really a one of a kind of its time record that ended up a timeless classic. I really like how dreamy the songs are, even though this band style is known for dreamy pop and pop-rock through all their albums with BN. I know so many young people who love Fleetwood Mac including this record and especially Everywhere. But we all know why everyone knows that song in particular.

7 Stevie songs and 2 Lindsey and 1 pre Buckingham-nicks hit. Did you guys do this? Do you agree? Its a huge crime Christine isn't here or a few more Lindseys songs. I just don't feel like Stevie is head and shoulders above everyone else, but she is in terms of popularity.

And I do adore her solo career the most. She is probably still my idol from the group, my second favorite band and all but I still don't like her songs more than anyone elses songs. She really did good for herself despite not being the most "technical" members of the group, which became a trend in music where you collaborated with outside musicians more and experimented where before bands had an established "sound" fans expected from them. I always loved how they proved despite moving to a more pop sound through the 80s no one called them sellouts cause they stayed true to their roots while adding modern flares to their music rather than completey changing the formula, or like most bands did in those days, found the popular groove and stick with it. They are not a boring band.

Does anyone have the bootleg of the May 16, 1980 concert at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis? I'm particularly interested in hearing what Stevie had to say at the end of the performance. Apparently she talked to the audience about quitting the band.
