Fleetwood Mac

In June 1975, when Fleetwood Mac performed “Landslide” at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey, they were riding the wave of their self-titled album released just a year prior. This album marked a notable turning point for the band, as it was their first with the iconic duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks on board. Their fresh sound—and particularly the blending of Nicks' ethereal vocals with Buckingham's distinctive guitar work—was starting to captivate audiences. The live recording captures a pivotal moment in their career, reflecting their shift from British blues roots to a more polished, Californian rock vibe. One fascinating tidbit is how “Landslide,” a song imbued with introspection and nostalgia, became a cherished staple in their discography, resonating with themes of growth and change, which perfectly mirrored the band's own evolving dynamic at the time. It’s a truly special performance that showcases Fleetwood Mac on the brink of superstardom.
