Amenities included with your ticket purchase are open bar access and a selection of hors d’oeuvres by James Beard award-winning chef Michael Schlow.”

Last fall, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the original Fleetwood Mac lineup forming, Mick Fleetwood published the photo-heavy Love That Burns – A Chronicle of Fleetwood Mac, Volume One 1967-1974 via the elite Genesis Publications. The tome, featuring countless personal photos and anecdotes, chronicles the band’s early days with legendary guitarists Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, and Danny Kirwan, through the middle period with Christine McVie, Bob Welch, and Bob Weston. Pulse asked Fleetwood if he ever imagines what would’ve happened had the beloved original lineup of the Mac stayed together: “There are moments — and will always will be — of what would’ve happened to that band musically and I have quiet thoughts about. . . I think Peter would’ve gone form strength-to-strength had he not lost that focus emotionally and then, thus musically eventually. He sort of quietly went away, really. So I bemoan that. There’s nothing you can do about it.”
Fleetwood Mac comes to Chicago to play at the United Center on Saturday, October 6th.
