At least one bottle gets thrown.

And it seems like someone, probably a member of the road crew, sabotages Kirby's guitar amp.

They just get a new amp and press on.

Still, the weight of it all, being labeled as phonies and Rolling Stone and scabs by Mick Fleetwood, slowly grinds them down.

When they cross the border into Canada for a show in Calgary, Cliff finally agrees.

The new Fleetwood Mac had lasted only six weeks.

They get on a plane headed to London, and when they land, their problems aren't over.

The old Fleetwood Mac takes the new Fleetwood Mac to court.

Mick Fleetwood has to testify, and he admits that, yes, he'd been to Elmer and Kirby's house to talk about the tour.

But it wasn't committal, he says.

A representative of Mick Fleetwood declined to comment on this story.

And he's maintained ever since that he had nothing to do with the tour.

I mean, if you were going to talk to Mick Fleetwood about all this, what would you want to say to him?

The real Fleetwood Mac relocated to Los Angeles in order to deal with the continuing legal fallout from the tour.

There, they met Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham and set about becoming the biggest band in the world.

Back in London, nobody wanted to work with Elmer and his guitar-playing flatmate Kirby.

The calls just stopped coming.

Kirby was so down, he swore off the music business entirely and moved to the country.

What are you doing?

And then Elmer got another offer he couldn't refuse from, of all people, Cliff Davis, the recently fired manager of Fleetwood Mac.
