Two Upcoming Live Albums Highlight Fleetwood Mac’s Legendary
Two Upcoming Live Albums Highlight Fleetwood Mac’s Legendary History
In their unique history, Fleetwood Mac underwent perhaps one of the most unlikely transformations in music: from a late-1960s British blues band to a mid-1970s southern California rock behemoth. Many multi-platinum albums and world tours later, the popularity of the band still endures. In April, the band's 50-year-plus history is being spotlighted in the form of two live recordings being released: one familiar and one relatively new.
By late 1974, Fleetwood Mac were at a crossroads in their career. Up to that point, the Mac had released 10 studio albums that were only moderately successful. A series of personnel changes and then a relocation to California left drummer Mick Fleetwood, bassist John McVie and singer/keyboardist Christine McVie as the remaining members following guitarist Bob Welch’s exit. While at a recording studio in Los Angeles, Fleetwood heard the music of a duo called Buckingham Nicks, featuring Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Impressed by them, Fleetwood later invited the two to become part of his band, and the rest as they say in musical history.
Six years later, Fleetwood Mac's artistic and commercial fortunes rose exponentially that resulted in the massively successful 1977 album Rumours, which spent a then-unprecedented 31 non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard album chart. At the height of their popularity, Fleetwood Mac put out their first live release in 1980 under the classic lineup of Fleetwood, the McVies, Buckingham and Nicks. Forty years later, Fleetwood Mac Live is being reissued via Rhino (due out April 9) as a super deluxe edition with a bonus disc of previously unreleased live material from that period.
