Fleetwood Mac’s Big Debut
This band got to partake in a part of history. In August of 1967, they made their big live debut at the Windsor Jazz and Blues Festival. This festival started out as the National Jazz Festival in 1961. In 1964, they changed the name, and just a few years later, Fleetwood Mac used the stage to become famous.

Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Peter Green, and Jeremy Spencer were the four members of the group at the time. The festival ended up being pretty large, and that year it attracted about 40,000 people from all over the U.S. in the four days it went on for. Other bands that performed at that event include Small Faces, Jeff Beck, Donovan, and Cream (with guitarist Eric Clapton).
