I'm late to the party but very happy I'm here now. Loving this version of Fleetwood Mac I never knew existed until a couple of weeks ago.
Have you found any of the early incarnation recordings of "Drifting" or "Jumping at Shadows"? Early FM was what got me into the blues and I still love their music.

If you like this, you might want to look for FM at the BBC and for Blues Jam at Chess where they play with some authentic Chicago blues stars.

Nice 40th Anniversary edition of this classic, additional raw tracks in the main and more excellent guitar from Robin Trower.
Loving The Gloaming 2, Iarla Ó Lionáird has a great voice and nice to hear a studio version of the song Casad an Tsúgáin that was used in the movie Brooklyn

Or this excellent 3 CD box set of their early Peter Green days, it's excellent.

Immense lyrical beauty....


Some folks have been playing them lately. I prefer their first stint, the more bluesy-rootsy one. All that "pop-middle-of-the-road-rock" of the late 70s/early 80's onward albums does get on my nerves.

I completely agree that the Peter Green's early Fleetwood Mac can't be beaten - one of my all time favourite groups and guitarists. However, the later incarnation of FW are pretty fantastic in their own way. I went to see Fleetwood Mac last year and was amazed by just how good and tight a live band they still are (with Christine McVie back on board).
I had never been a great fan of Lyndsey Buckingham, but I was completely blown away by his live performance. Not Peter Green, but then no one else is, but an exceptional guitarist and performer none the less.
