Description
In August 1978 Fleetwood Mac were riding the extraordinary commercial and critical wave of Rumours--one of the biggest-selling albums ever. Homespun brings you Fleetwood Mac's WLBP-FM radio broadcast performance live from the LSU Tiger Stadium, Louisiana. Their emotional chemistry had frayed backstage, but onstage that tension translated into powerful performances. The Baton Rouge show featured a tight set of Rumours-era classics like "Monday Morning," "The Chain," "Dreams," "Rhiannon," "Gold Dust Woman," "Songbird" and several others--delivering both radio hits and deeper cuts in a near-flawless sequence.
Audiences described the performance as vibrant and polished. Anecdotal recollections hint at distinguishable energy from the band--Stevie Nicks' trademark stage presence, Lindsey Buckingham's precise guitar work, Christine McVie's strong vocals and Mick & John's steady groove--resulting in an electric atmosphere that belied the internal turmoil.
This was a confident, high-energy farewell to the Rumours era. With impeccable execution and song selection, it remains a standout and sought-after show--both for its rarity and the band's potent live synergy at their 1978 peak.
