The Chain Live Performance by Fleetwood Mac at Wembley Concert

Venue: Wembley Arena Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: June 20, 1980

Fleetwood Mac's live performance of "The Chain" at Wembley Arena on June 20, 1980, comes at a fascinating juncture in their storied career. The band had just released their ambitious double album *Tusk*, which arrived in 1979, pushing boundaries and exploring a more experimental sound, quite different from their hugely successful *Rumours*. While *Tusk* wasn't as commercially explosive as its predecessor, it showcased the band's evolving artistry, and "The Chain" became a standout track that blended vulnerability and strength. Interestingly, the album featured contributions from all members—particularly Lindsey Buckingham's innovative production techniques—making it a true ensemble effort. This performance at Wembley, during a massive tour, perfectly encapsulated their dynamic stage presence and emotional depth, with "The Chain" resonating with fans eager for a taste of both their past hits and bold new directions. The energy in the air? Just electric!
