Fleetwood Mac

When Fleetwood Mac took to the stage at Budokan Hall in Tokyo on February 3, 1980, they were riding the wave of their 1979 album, *Tusk*. Now, this album was a significant departure from the mainstream pop sound that characterized their previous mega-hit, *Rumours*. *Tusk* was daring and experimental, featuring a mix of rock, new wave, and even a bit of avant-garde, which caught many fans off-guard. While some were initially skeptical, over time, it gained appreciation for its boldness and depth. The live recording of "Monday Morning" showcases not only their evolving sound but also the chemistry of the band members, especially with Lindsey Buckingham's unique guitar stylings and Stevie Nicks' enchanting vocals. Interestingly, *Tusk* was among the first double albums to achieve commercial success, a feat that signified Fleetwood Mac's dominance and willingness to push boundaries in a rapidly changing music scene.
