Fleetwood Mac

Saw an interview the other day on CNN with Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Buckingham, and Christine McVie. Apparently they're getting back together for a tour (someone ran out of money?). The CNN crawl read "the original Fleetwood Mac back together. Seems they don't remember there was Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, and John McVie. How quickly they forget. I suppose there's a generation who only knows the "Rumours" era Mac. To me there were 3 Macs-the Green and Kirwan Mac, the Bob Welch Mac, and the group mentioned above.

Silver springs is a very good alright.Surely they wouldn't make a decision like that in the parking lot.What happened to bob Welch,I may have spelt his name wrong.I liked some of his stuff

All of this discussion over the different versions of FM sent me to amazon to investigate Peter Green era recordings. I found a 3 disc live set recorded in 1970 called Boston that was released last month. It looks like a bundling of 3 separate live releases from the early 2000's. I have no exposure to Peter Green era FM. Is this a good place to start or are the studio releases a better bet? I do like the blues/rock bands from that era like Trapeze and Savoy Brown.

I have a lot of the Boston stuff--it's good, but start with the studio stuff. One of the first albums plus "Then Play On" would make sense.

The Boston tapes contain a lot of extended jams that would not be everyone's cup of tea.
