R.I.P. Bob Welch
 

I just heard he died. Apparently suicide. I'm a little shocked. Great writer. Some of Fleetwood Macs best stuff.

Here as well.

Sad, RIP MR. Welsh.

I'm a huge fan, so sorry to hear this. Life must have gotten painful.

I used to listen to Bare Trees back in the '70s a lot. That album has a special place in my musical memory.

Since his passing has us thinking about the great Fleetwood Mac, here is Stevie Nicks doing Rhiannon live in '76. I saw them on this tour, at a small outdoor sports stadium called Parade Stadium in Minneapolis across from the Walker Art Center and the Guthrie Theatre. It was at night and there was an electrical storm w/o rain, just lightning flashing across the sky and some hot wind. She was wearing the same dress as in this video and it was blowing in the wind. I was with a girl that I was head over tits in love with, I was 16 or 17. Enjoy:

Stevie is an Arcadia, CA girl....A friend of long ago went to HS with her..in he year book she was sporting one of the Black Widow Bee Hive hairdos....

You stand up in life and do the best you can.

I think he played on my all-time favorite Fleetwood Mac song "Bare Trees"...

He wrote it Art..

Ebony eyes, great song.
A little simplistic on the face but deep texture if you listen close.

Hypnotized - one of my favourite 'Mac tunes. A shame he has passed. As speeder says: "Life must have gotten painful"

Heard this morning also. One wonders how life can be so painful later in life like that. Kinda scary.

RIP Bob

^^^ Now that is love....

Yeah I read that and thought it was pretty heroic. Bob was as good guy. Our paths crossed a lot in the late 70's early 80's. I can see him doing this.

Very very sad...

This song represents as much as any - the tremendous influence of Bob's talent while a member of Fleetwood Mac.

We're still thinking about you, Bob.....thanks man for all the cool vibes! :cool:
