Rumours by Fleetwood Mac was released in February 1977 but the band didn't make their way to Australia to tour the record until November - this week in fact, 40 years ago. 

An awesome fan has shared some live footage from the Sydney leg of those shows on Youtube, under the name LefflerPost. We don't know this person but would like to say thanks for sharing! And, it looks to us like properly filmed footage from multiple cameras, although we have no knowledge of this tour being filmed for TV or other purposes! The audio is not great, but passable for a bit of nostalgia and enjoyment. 

LefflerPost states on Youtube - "Recorded as ROCKARENA in November 1977 in Sydney, I was the OB supervisor of the concert and had the pleasure of meeting the band when they came to the OB van at the end of the concert to watch the performance. We were not allowed to take an audio feed from the desk so we set up 2 shotgun mikes at the speaker towers so think of it as a 'live' concert. I have done a bit of video editing on it to make it more presentable. I have many stories from this concert; enough to write a book! This video is from my 'never been seen on TV' vault and I thought it was about time I shared it with others."

If anyone reading this happens to know who LefflerPost is, please get them to drop us a line, we'd love to chat! 

So here we go! Fleetwood Mac, rarely seen live footage shot in Sydney, Australia in 1977 on the Rumours tour!
