You might run into "trackerdan".  He posted on the Sleep Train website that he worked at Sound City during the recording of the first Fleetwood Mac album with Stevie and Lindsey and said the following:

"I was working in studio B at Sound City while they were recording their first album Rumours. Richard Dashit, Lindsey and I would have some tremendous jams in the wee hours of the morning after working all night. Those were the days. Looking forward to seeing them again."

Here's a short clip of Mick Fleetwood introducing Christine McVie in Maui on Feb 13th + Christine singing the beginning of "Get Like You Used To Be" which she's probably not done live since I'm guessing the early 70's!  Thanks to Tom Clark for the video!  The full version of "Don't Stop" and "Get Like You Used To Be" at the bottom.
