On November 2, 1973, Fleetwood Mac made a memorable appearance on *The Midnight Special*, performing “Believe Me.” At this point in their career, the band was experiencing a transformative phase, having just released their self-titled album, *Fleetwood Mac*, earlier that year. This album marked a significant shift as it introduced new member Christine McVie, who brought fresh energy and songwriting talent to the group. It was their first album featuring more pop-rock influences, slowly steering them toward the mainstream success they would later achieve in the late '70s with *Rumours*.
