Fleetwood Mac Wall Street Journal Mention - TPG Capital Private Show

How Private Equity Got Its Groove Back - Private Equity Beat - WSJ: 

Last month, TPG Capital wowed investors at its annual meeting with more than portfolio company data. The firm, which manages some $48 billion in assets across various fund families, brought in superstar band Fleetwood Mac as part of the extracurricular entertainment, according to two of the firm’s backers.

It’s not uncommon for private equity firms to roll out some form of evening or afternoon entertainment to break up what is often a long day of presentations at annual meetings. One of the firm’s founding partners, David Bonderman is an avid rock and roll fan and made headlines back in 2002, when he hired the Rolling Stones and John Mellencamp to play at his 60th birthday party. The firm has also brought in other well known musicians, including former members of The Eagles, at prior annual meetings, according to one of TPG’s backers.

DAVE AND STEVIE... STUDIO SHOT

Click to enlarge

High Resolution artwork for "The Blackbird Diaries" has been released and includes spectacular photo of Dave Stewart and Stevie Nicks in the studio... You may recall this photo was used in the David Wild piece that appeared in Rollingstone Magazine a couple of months ago reporting on the recording of Stevie's new album that Dave is producing [here].  Great shot, nice to see that it made the inside of the album cover.

The artwork for Dave's Double Gatefold Double Vinyl Album of "The Blackbird Diaries" can be downloaded at Dave Stewarts Martini Moment website.   To check out the album sampler go here. And when you're done with that... check out the video for Dave and Colbie Caillat's "Bullet Proof Vest".  The track appears on the album... They sound great together.
