Guess i am giving away my age but to me the real fleetwood mac was a superior blues band that over a decade became a pop band. Saw then 6 or 7 times in clubs and at the acoustically perfect Auditorium Theatre. The first few albums imho had a depth of feeling they never recreated. Listen to the Chess recordings in Chicago with the likes of Otis Span on Piano, the incomprable Willie Dixon on upright bass, Shakey Horton on harmonica and JT Brown on Sax combined with Spencer, Kerwin, and Green on Guitars (Buddy Guy joined on several tracks) and of course the rythem section (John and Mick) at their best. Then go to just the band on 'Then Play On" and "Kiln House". Hard to beat and while a admit the skills of Bob or Lindsey ... it just never reached the mark set early on.
