KEN REGAN VINTAGE PHOTO - FLEETWOOD MAC 1976 OAKLAND STADIUM

CHRISTINE MCVIE 1976 OAKLAND, CA

Only one new shot so far up for grabs by Ken Regan on ebay. Another great shot of Christine McVie from 1976 in Oakland, CA - John and Lindsey visible in the backgroud. This show looks so massive, yet the stage so small.

STEVIE DOES BUDDY
Oh... And Stevie Nicks is apparently working on a track for a Buddy Holly tribute album being put together by Peter Asher to mark the 50th anniversary of his death in February, 1959. (It'll be 51 years this February... Better get crackin'!)

The quote from the article:

“I’m in the studio producing a Buddy Holly tribute album for the 50th anniversary of his death,” he says of his current project. “For the last couple of days, I’ve been in the studio with Stevie Nicks doing a track with her.”

Asher seems so nonchalant about recording with Nicks that he may as well by talking about picking up his dry cleaning, but it’s just another testament to how many music legends he knows on a first-name basis.

STEVIE NICKS PHOTO... RHIANNON AT HER MOST PASSIONATE

It's pretty cool when the origins of a photo you've seen numerous times over the years are finally revealed...

Awesome shot!!

Photographer: Bill Hansen (link to much larger version)

Location: Sept 1977 at the Seattle Center Coliseum

In the late 70's I worked at Tower Records Tacoma & Seattle. Used to take concert photos from the main floor. In those days, it was rare to have seats on the main floor, only festival seating. And you could take in cameras. I had a Minolta SRT 102 with a telephoto lens. This photo of Stevie is one of my favorites because in the early days when she sang "Rhiannon", she had so much passion and fire in her eyes. Today, it's a much tamer song. But to see her in the photo with all that emotion, it's what made her a star! I absolutely love Stevie Nicks!
