Heard this version of Fleetwood Mac in San Francisco on a double bill. After a burned-out looking Eric Burdon opened badly, Mac played a very good set, with Christine's vocals and Mick's drumming particularly stellar. Although lead guitarist Bob Weston had left FM, Bob Welch handled riffology honors just fine and even rocked out on a few Peter Green tunes. It was a transitional version of the band,, between the Green-Kirwan-Spencer blues-rock powerhouse and the latter 1970's pop juggernaut.
I remember watching this when it originally aired and then reading a couple of years later Christine, John, and Mick saying when they watched this they realized it was time for Bob to go. They had enough of the on stage raps about the Bermuda Triangle. On to the next and most lucrative version of Fleetwood Mac.
@betterdays105 Actually, no. Bob left on his own accord....they didn't want him to go...the were going to add Buckingham & Nicks whether Bob stayed or left.
FYI: I uploaded 3 songs from 'Heros are Hard to Find', including a music video made to this song, 'Bermuda Triangle' from the CD, way back in October 2008. They stayed up a few weeks until WMG (Warner Music Group) blocked them worldwide.
I tried, ut WMG is a killer of so much music on Youtube ... we take risks uploading copyrighted materials for you folks.

I tried to give you this (A+) song which needs no "remastering." Now I am 1236bigcat on YT ... and I still take risks for you.
Lol, Bob Welch was carrying on FM's tradition of singer/guitarists who were flat-out *weird*! Green, Spencer, and Kirwan before him, and Buckingham after him--all great musicians, and all weird mammajammas!
All of the Warner Bros. Mac albums are available (or were, at the very least) on CD. I have them all, and they sound pretty good. I haven't seen a foraml "Newly Remastered" series of them like Warners did for Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and others. But I bought a couple of those remasters and compared them to the earlier version, and I actually preferred he non-"remastered" versions. So I'd say grab whatever versions of these CDs are available, and enjoy!
@happykilojoule Amazon has this "LP" (sorry) re-mastered to CD. Where is the title track. Heroes Are Hard To Find. All the early albums have been re-done to cd. They aren't lost.
@cmcviefan57 yep thats when bob welch steped in. you know peter green cam eback to end a tour when spenced dissapered. aparently it was the best they sounded.
This song is so hard to find. I can't believe that -- it is so good.

I am not a huge fan of this song, but I have all the early 70s Mac albums, and THEY ARE ALL AWESOME.

This version of the band will always be Fleetwood Mac to me. Bob's vocals are more Paris than FM here, though.

They should re-master the early 70s albums. Many of those songs don't deserve to remain in obscurity!
