August 2012 Updates

This year the month of August is dedicated to Stevie’s first tour with her new band Fleetwood Mac in 1975. By August, just one month after the release of Fleetwood Mac’s self titled debut, the group landed in the eye of a touring storm. Beginning with a mere 19 dates from May through July. August had a grueling 22 gigs alone! Going from San Bernardino, CA on the 1st, then north to Oakland, CA on the 2nd and 3rd with 3 days off traveling up to Vancouver, BC on the 7th only to wind up in Seattle, WA the very next day! This demanding schedule took them northward to Canada for 3 back to back dates in Alberta on the 11th, 12th, & 13th after hitting Portland, OR on the 9th and Missoula, MT on the 10th. They continued the month hitting Milwaukee, WI just 2 days after the Alberta gigs. The rest of the month the band saw only 4 days off! After hitting the mid-west, south-west and ending the whirlwind summer at 2 Southern California venues; Anaheim on the 30th and San Diego on the 31st. By the time the tour came to an end on September 5, 1976 in Austin, TX they had logged over 113 gigs and were well on their way to solidifying themselves as one of Rock and Roll’s most endearing bands.
