And the days when my dad discovered them were the early days of this outfit-the five musicians knitted together by messy romantic relationships and a remarkable group dynamic. But the Fleetwood Mac most of us today know and love came together in 1974 when Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the British band, which had already added Christine McVie, held onto John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, and lost a handful of other players. before they came over to America, added some new members, and shifted their style towards a poppier rock sound. Of course, “early days” is a misnomer when it comes to Fleetwood Mac, who formed, albeit with a notably different lineup, in 1967 in London and did pretty well for themselves as a blues-rock band in the U.K. He and his friends-friends I grew up around-met them around on a cross-country trip and hung around with them awhile, stacking up stories they now tell about partying with the band in their early days. tour, before they gained a massive fan base on this side of the pond. My dad got to know them-personally as well as musically-on their first U.S. I grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac thanks to my loving and music-loving parents.
