In February last year, Mick Fleetwood hosted and an all-star tribute to Fleetwood Mac’s founding guitarist, Peter Green at the London Palladium (just months prior to Green’s death in July 2020). Mick Fleetwood & Friends Celebrate the Music of Peter Green brought together some of rock’s greatest luminaries in celebration of Green's music and the early hits he penned for Fleetwood Mac.
Now, the concert film of Fleetwood's celebratory event is getting a cinema release, set to hit Aussie theatres next week, airing from March 25th for one week only! Check out the trailer below. Follow this link to find a cinema near you.

Among the highlights from the incredible night is this live version of “Rattlesnake Shake” featuring Aerosmith frontman, Steven Tyler and ZZ Top’s. The blues-rocker, originally released on Fleetwood Mac's 1969 LP, Then Play On, gets a thumping rendition with plenty of swagger from the stage packed with music legends. Tyler gives an impressive maraca performance, while Gibbons trades licks with house band guitarist, Rick Vito. Watch the new “Rattlesnake Shake” video below.
