Fleetwood Mac Live Performance of Green Manalishi at KSAN 1974

Venue: KSAN Location: San Francisco, CA, United States Date: May 24, 1974

In May 1974, Fleetwood Mac was riding the wave of a powerful transformation, having just released their self-titled album earlier that year. This was a pivotal moment for the band, marking their transition to a new sound following lineup changes that brought in Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. The live recording at KSAN captures the essence of their evolving style, showcasing tracks from their latest venture, “Fleetwood Mac,” which featured the romantic “Angel” and the bluesy intensity of “Green Manalishi.” What’s fascinating here is how the performance encapsulates that raw energy of a band on the brink of superstardom. Just a few months later, they would explode into mainstream popularity with their subsequent album, "Rumours," solidifying their status as one of rock's most beloved acts. So, while the KSAN show may feel like an intimate snapshot, it was also a glimpse into the making of legends.
