Fleetwood Mac - Jumping at Shadows Live Performance in Boston 1985
In November 1984, when Fleetwood Mac gave their electrifying live performance in Boston, they were riding high on the success of their album "Mirage," which had been released just that year. "Mirage" marked a return to their pop-rock roots, boasting catchy singles like "Hold Me" and "Gypsy." This era was all about reclaiming their sound, a few years after their massive successes in the late '70s and early '80s. Interestingly, the Boston concert also reflected a deep connection to the band's blues heritage, as they honored the late Peter Green, their co-founder, with the performance of “Jumping at Shadows.” This song dates back to the band’s early days, offering a blend of nostalgia and respect for their roots. It’s fascinating how even amidst their pop evolution, they maintained ties to the blues, weaving a rich narrative of their musical journey. The emotional weight of remembering Green clearly enhanced the concert's atmosphere, making it a night to remember.
