Fleetwood Mac

Comes from 'USA' memorabilia

Tusk Tour 1979 / 1980

FLEETWOOD MAC Tusk Tour 1979 / 1980 (From the personal collection of John Courage, Fleetwood Mac's Tour Manager for more than a quarter of a Century, we have a wonderful item that was originally produced by the management to feature in Billboard magazine as a thank you to the staff & crew from Fleetwood Mac at the end of the mammoth 'Tusk' world tour. To help people remember just where they'd actually been in that gruelling year, this is a nicely framed & glazed 11" x 14½" sheet listing every single date played on the tour. As a nice touch, there is a lovely sequence of dancing penguins at the bottom, each waving the flag of one of the many nations that the tour passed through, with the simple message 'With thanks and appreciation to you all, Fleetwood Mac'. A very unusual and touching piece that perfectly documents the dates and venues of that mammoth tour)

Tracklisting & More Information

This item comes direct from the personal archive of former tour manager, John Courage. Despite having connections with a UK national brewery of note, John decided that the Rock 'n' Roll lifestyle was more to his taste.

In September 1972, he was poached from being the road manager of Savoy Brown to become the tour manager of Fleetwood Mac, just before the release of the 'Penguin' album & subsequent tour.

Since that date until his retirement, he stuck with the Mac through thick & thin, seeing in the arrival of Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks to the band, creating a very new sound for the former Blues band.

We are all aware of the effect that the 'Fleetwood Mac', then the mega-hit multi-platinum release 'Rumours' had on the band. The tours went from halls to stadiums in a couple of short jet propelled years.
As the internal madness began to compete with the fan frenzy, John remained with the band through this incredible period, even though for one of his birthdays the band decorated his Hotel room with fifty chickens & bales of straw!
Throughout these visions of excess, the music continued to flow as freely as the parties, resulting in sellout tours the world over.

John found himself slowly acquiring a selection of items that were given to him by members of the band at various points over a distinguished career that lasted in excess of twenty five years.
These gradually took up more & more space until, finally, John decided that some of them must go. What you are looking at here is one of those items.

Its history is impeccable. Its provenance guaranteed.

From the personal collection of John Courage, a one-off collectable from the tour manager of one of the biggest groups of all time.
