Fleetwood Mac

In November 1979, Fleetwood Mac found themselves deep in the whirlwind of the "Tusk" era, a bold departure from their previous, mainstream success. The band released the "Tusk" album just a month earlier, on October 19, 1979, marking a significant evolution in their sound. This double album showcased experimental production techniques and a more eclectic range of musical styles, straying away from the pop formulas that had defined their previous hits, like those from "Rumours." Interestingly, the ambitious "Tusk" sparked mixed reactions among critics and fans alike. However, it also solidified their legacy as innovators, pushing boundaries in the music realm. The live recording from the Checkerdome in St. Louis captures a pivotal moment in this transformation and features "Sisters of the Moon," a haunting track that perfectly encapsulates the emotional depth the band was striving for at this juncture. What a time it was, right? Fleetwood Mac was not just at the peak of their fame; they were redefining it!
