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.

Thanks for the suggestion, Marty. Didn't have any of the 1970's era FW Mac Live in Boston. Found a 2014 release on Amazon with all 3 discs in one collection. Discs 1 & 2 can be had separately at a reasonable price. Disc 3 is going for like a hundred bucks. If you want vinyl, Elusive Disc is now carrying Vols 1-3 on 180 g vinyl (3 double LPs, I think). $30 a pop. After ordering I fired up the system and connected to YouTube to sample some of what I bought. Rattlesnake Shake off Vol 1 is up along with a number of other cuts. Thing that made the evening, however, is at the link below. It's from a compilation. Nothing to do with the Boston stuff. If you want to hear something electrifying and what The Mac was all about, "back in the day", check it out. Hope you enjoy. CRANK IT UP.

Marty and all - don't miss the music at that link. Also ordered "The Vaudeville Years" where that track can be found. Love how the drums are mic'd.
Marty -
Got "The Vaudeville Years". While it has some good music on it, it also has a bit of 'filler' (at least in my opinion); i.e., some tedious and not so funny 'humorous' bits by Jeremy Spencer. It's a 2 CD set and I'm thinking at least a third of the content could have been left out.
