There are a few old, unloved threads seeking mid-period Fleetwood Mac live, with no particularly helpful answers. I'm not a part of the live show trading thing, so this was probably harder than it should have been.
Anyway, have been in the middle of discovering that I was wrong, yet again, about a Fleetwood Mac album and that Kiln House is totally incredible (it took a looong time to get past the Grateful Dead-ish start of Station Man, and to finally get the 50's stuff).
Go googling and find what I'm sure will be a tease, but I'm listening to it right now: Fleetwood Mac live in '75 with Buckingham and Nicks doing a (great sound) set that includes Station Man, Spare Me A Little, Rhiannon, and Hypnotized (!) among others. The other show is from '74 (Heroes are Hard To Find) with Bob Welch and sounds just about as good, and includes a bunch of Mystery To Me, Then Play On, etc. stuff. I think both were recorded for radio.
Link is: http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com/ConcertDetail.aspx?id=20052641|2365 and I had to register but there wasn't much involved. I don't *think* this has come up here, but apologies if I'm repeating well known info.
Am in a Bimble-like state of musical ecstasy at the moment.

Oh, I guess that link doesn't work exactly, but you can find it under Performers/Fleetwood Mac.
Would still love to find something live w/Welch and Weston, but this is much better sounding than I'd hoped to find. The Spare Me A Little Of Your Loves are awfully nice.

There was that Weston/Welch era clip up on YouTube of "Believe Me', but I think it got taken down. It was from one of those late night shows (Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, maybe?) and it was friggin AWESOME -- Weston was a wicked guitar player. really sucks that dude took it down.
There was the Buckingham/Nicks "Station Man" up there too, but it looks like that has been taken down too! bummer.

Yeah, there's still great Peter Green stuff up (the Playboy Club one is pretty classic) but the stuff I was looking for is all gone, with only old Google links to tantalize. I'll get over it, but right now I'd kill to see Weston playing a full Mystery To Me concert.

one year passes...

welch during this period is seriously the most unlikely looking rockstar ever

holy hell where did this come from?! and goddamn bob weston was the shit! thanks for posting this. mystery to me is prob my fav fleetwood mac album...although i kind of wish danny kirwan had stuck around for it. then again, if weston hadn't jumped in we probably wouldn't have "forever", which is so good I can't even talk about it!
