Fleetwood Mac

John McVie is the Mac in Fleetwood Mac. Band name given by Peter Green. Apologies if someone else already posted this.

Hey Misternice. Do you have the early Fleetwood Mac recordings with him in the band? Original Fleetwood Mac, Mr. Wonderful and English Rose are a little uneven but worthwhile. There's some overlap in content between Mr. Wonderful and English Rose (one US release, the other UK - if I recall correctly. Certain someone will step in to correct me if that's muddled). I especially like, Then Play On. There's no denying the guitar playing prowess of early Fleetwood Mac with Green, Jeremy Spencer and, a bit later, Danny Kirwan.

Interest in Peter Green's music will be rewarded. Wikipedia has a separate entry for his solo discography (just Google, 'Wikipedia Peter Green Discography'). Also check out Discogs, 'Peter Green(2)'. There's another Peter Green listed. The blues guitarist in discussion here is listed as Peter Green (2). Samples usually available at Discogs and Amazon, of course.

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.

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.
