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.

Martyk1 - appreciate the breadth of your music knowledge. Enjoy your music comments and typically (especially in contentious threads) find myself agreeing with you. As I've commented before, seems like we have similar tastes.

Ghost,

Thanx for the kind words and back atcha. Debating those with divergent opinions can be fun, but I always find it even more rewarding to discover a kindred spirit on the board.

There are a number of recordings of Fleetwood Mac performing live in Boston - it's sort of a tradition going way back to the earliest days of the band. There's a CD set from 2004 called "Live In Boston" that features Peter Green and company. It was released in three parts and I personally prefer Volume 1 by a fair bit, tho volumes two and three have their own moments. There's a lot of overlap on the tracklist of V1 and V2, while V3 is mostly less familiar material.

Of course, because it's Fleetwood Mac, there was also a 2004 release called "Live in Boston" that features Buckingham, Nicks et al. This is one CD and two DVDs. If you like this edition of the band, it's a great example of modern Mac at its best: live.

Whichever you've got, it should be a fun listen for you.
