Fleetwood Mac delivered the nostalgia with the band’s classic tunes transporting audiences back to the 70’s when the male band members, and probably many audience members, had a lot more hair.

The band makes its next appearance at Cleveland at Quicken Loans Arena on Feb. 18.
The blast from the past continued with a Bob Seger concert at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga. on Jan. 31.
