December 1979 At The Forum, Fleetwood Mac plays "Tusk" in the middle of the set. Who joins them on stage? Yes, the marching band. The crowd cheers. Very cool. (I may be old, but I saw all the cool bands).

I saw that live one time too, at the Englewood Forum

[@kathleenzapolnik1017]

Saw the USC band play this in the mid-80s when they played at Notre Dame stadium. My dearly departed husband took me to watch the USC v ND game. Wow! What a show. We were in the stands right by the band. It was an awesome time. I remember how cool it was that the whole band wore sunglasses while they played this. And yes, Notre Dame won!!!
