Radio City Music Hall was the site of last night’s (January 26) MusiCares Person of the Year Gala honoring Fleetwood Mac.

For the first time in a number of years, the ceremony was held in New York which also host’s Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, giving the show a different vibe. In attendance was Bill and Hillary Clinton, with Bill presenting the award to the band, along with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

The evening started with a number of high profile artists taking the stage to sing some of Fleetwood Mac’s biggest hits, followed by the presentation and acceptance of the award. Four of the five group members spoke including Stevie Nicks who spoke at length about the late-Tom Petty. John McVie did not give a speech.

The full band then took the stage to perform five songs, starting with “The Chain” with Harry Styles.

I could go to a James Taylor show just for the stories. The man is a part of music history and is still around to tell the tales of how it all began. Like, for instance, being the first artist signed to Apple Records. James “auditioned” for Apple with his song ‘Something In The Way She Moves’. "Paul went away and started the label and George went away and wrote the song”, he said.
