Comment:
First, a disclaimer: this is the ORIGINAL FLEETWOOD MAC, not the Buckingham-Nicks-Christine McVie pop juggernaut. This was arguably one of the finest British Blues outfit to come out the late 60's, led by the brilliant eccentric genious, Peter Green, and ably assisted by Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan, John Mcvie & Mick Fleetwood. The band were at the forefront of the British Blues Boom. Their single "Black Magic Woman" was later covered by Santana. The band moved towards a more melodic three guitar sound and away from the twelve bar blues format they had started out with. In Spring of 1970, Green who'd been finding the pressures of stardom increasingly hard to cope with and had been thinking of leaving the band for some time, finally quit. He made his decision in Munich during the middle of a European tour, but completed all the contracted gigs. The final single he wrote for the band, "The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Prong Crown)", was another fairly uncommercial number with some great three-part guitar work. The lyrics sound rather autobiographical - an insight into what was by now a pretty tortured mind. Minus Peter Green, the band searched hard for a new direction. Jeremy Spencer was the main creative force on their next album, Kiln House also featured Christine Perfect (by now John McVie's wife). Then Jeremy Spencer walked out on the band during a US tour to join a religious cult "The Children Of God". Danny Kirwin ,tired of touring and refused to go onstage and was fired. The band then morphed its way into a the popular more commercial California version after a few additional personal changes.
Feedback:
I love the Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac. What a great band that was.
Fantasic mix
Truly amazing. Toss this on, as well. I'm not sure how you seem to be reading my musical mind these days, but you're doing it. As is documented by my "California era" FM mix last year, I even like this band all the way through "Tusk".
Yup, Tom. I agree with everything you say about this tremendous band. the song "Need your love so bad" was the song my wife and I dance first to at our wedding. The seductive guitar playing of Peter Green has rarely been matched anywhere else.
Excellent subject and nice picks. Peter Green was amazing in this period.
Very cool. Haven't heard much of this, except for the more familiar covers.
Mr. CASETTA, this looks so good it could make me cry! Would you consider a trade?
Thank Christ you don't go past 1971 with this band. Almost never had a band fallen so far.
Yup. Sean's an enemy of the once-great Lyndsey Buckingham, for some unknown reason... I had a feeling that statement would turn up. ;-)
"Lyndsey Buckingham"...isn't she the president of the London chapter of B'nai Brith?
Jesus, I must be losing my mind... LOL... I thought it looked wrong. But actually, Scott, she's the chairman of the East Hampton Ladies' Auxiliary. ;-) Her evil twin Lindsey, however, was once a minor-league pop genius and a major-league guitar player.
Actually Rob, we're both wrong! After sifting through the other erroneous Mac-man spellings on a Yahoo! search, it appears that "Lyndsey" was a player on the Sileby Town Cricket Club's Under-13's team in 1993...but I'm doubtful about a B'nai Brith connection ;-)
No, you're all wrong. Lindsey B. was an overrated hack attached to an equally overrated hackess. Mmmmmmm,... haggass....... sorry, Gerry.
