Rich Engler

Rich Engler is a concert promoter in Pittsburgh.

And in 1974, he gets a call from an agent in New York telling him that the band Fleetwood Mac is looking for a venue in Pittsburgh to host the first show of their U.S.

tour.

Fleetwood Mac.

Before Stevie Nicks joined the band, they were bluesier, harder rocking, more psychedelic.

Even in the early 70s, they were incredibly popular.

Maybe not as big as they eventually became, but they had hits like Black Magic Woman.

Minutes before Fleetwood Mac's set, Rich peers out from backstage at thousands of rock fans.

He takes a deep, dank whiff.

But there's a problem.

he doesn't see a single member of the band.

Not even Mick Fleetwood, the band's namesake, a long-haired, 6'6", drumming powerhouse.

He's hard to miss.

Rumors have been circulating that Fleetwood Mac is breaking up and that the band members are at each other's throats.

So Rich has reason to be worried.

Rich doesn't recognize any of these dudes, but they are definitely not Fleetwood Mac.

This guy introduces himself as Fleetwood Mac's manager.

Rich wraps his arms around the manager's chest, and the two topple backward into a wall.

A security guard comes rushing over.

What Rich doesn't know is that the guys in the band are feeling pretty much the same way he is.
