“One of my lucky days as a young photographer was when I decided to try to get backstage at a Fleetwood Mac concert during the peak of the mega successful “Rumours” album tour. I was shocked to be able to walk backstage - unchallenged - and straight into the green room where the weary band sat alone with catered food, instantly welcoming us with “help yourself” to the rather plastic looking spread of generic rock star food. What do you say when it’s just you with the hottest rock band in the world? My assistant and I grasped for words but came up with the most important question - can we shoot from the stage, fully expecting to hear “no way - insurance issues”. We were shocked when the band was totally cool, welcoming us to join them onstage. Stevie Nicks was mesmerizing, SO beautiful and the coolest lady this kid photographer had ever met.”
