Fleetwood Mac

In 1976, Fleetwood Mac was experiencing a meteoric rise in their career, driven largely by the success of their album "Fleetwood Mac," released in 1975. This self-titled album marked a significant turning point for the band, as it introduced a new lineup featuring Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, which brought a fresh sound that captivated audiences. The live recording of "I'm So Afraid" on May 2, 1976, captures the band at a pivotal moment, shortly before the release of their monumental album "Rumours" later that year. "Rumours" would go on to become one of the best-selling albums of all time, solidifying Fleetwood Mac's status as rock legends. The performance showcases Buckingham's intense guitar work and vocals, elements that would define their live sound during this peak era. Notably, the band's chemistry on stage reflected the turbulence of their personal relationships, which would famously inspire much of the songwriting in "Rumours."
