First rock concert I ever saw was Fleetwood Mac - back in May of 1979
(the "Tusk" tour).
It was amazing (but of course, it was my FIRST ROCK CONCERT).
I've never thought of Lindsey as having a "wall of sound" style,
though..? perhaps his style has changed over the years?

I saw them for the first time around 71 or so (??). I think the lineup
was Fleetwood, McVie, McVie and Weston and Welch.
Saw them several times with the best known lineup including Buckingham
and Stevie Nicks, and one last time with two new guitarists replacing
Buckingham.
Ahhhh - but my FIRST concert was October 11, 1965; Reynolds Coliseum,
Raleigh, NC - The Rolling Stones.
I always thought it was their first American Tour, but it appears it may
have been their third or fourth. Looks like they had tours in early 64 &
65 that didn't do well.
