McCartney Times

In February 2020, Mick Fleetwood left his Maui home to fly to London to organize an all-star concert honoring the early years of Fleetwood Mac and its founding guitarist/vocalist Peter Green.

Held at the historic London Palladium, the stellar bill included Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie, Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, The Who’s Pete Townshend, Steven Tyler, former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, former Mac guitarist Rick Vito, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and Ringo Starr’s son Zak Starkey.

A film of this unique concert, “Mick Fleetwood & Friends Celebrate The Music Of Peter Green And The Early Years Of Fleetwood Mac,” will premiere as a pay-per-view virtual event at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Saturday.

Many of the musicians on the bill have performed on Maui over the years. McVie, Tyler and Vito all performed with the legendary drummer at a memorable concert at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center in 2013. Inspired by the success of the MACC show, McVie returned to performing with Fleetwood Mac after a 15-year absence.

Fleetwood Mac’s connection with Maui stretches back to the 1970s, when the musicians would vacation on the island. Singer Stevie Nicks first met her backup singer, Sharon Celani, performing at Lahaina’s Blue Max.
