Fleetwood Mac

In March 1972, Fleetwood Mac took the stage at the PNE Garden Auditorium in Vancouver for a live performance that captures the essence of their early years. At that time, the band was riding high on the release of their self-titled album, *Fleetwood Mac*, which came out just a year earlier in 1971. This was a notable period of transition for the group; they were shifting from their blues roots to a more rock-oriented sound that would soon define their career. The lineup featured the powerful guitar skills of Jeremy Spencer and the harmony-driven vocals of Bob Welch, both pivotal during these formative stages. Interestingly, this live recording showcases a blend of intimate, soulful melodies and the energetic performances that were becoming their signature, foreshadowing the monumental mainstream success they would achieve with albums like *Rumours* just a few years later. It’s a fascinating snapshot of a time when Fleetwood Mac was still on the brink of transformation.
