THIS IS NOT FLEETWOOD MAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this recording but the itunes review is not for this album at all; it's for a Fleetwood Mac concert just a few years ago. Slight oversight on somebody's part.

Most people know the Nicks/Buckingham incarnation of the Mac the best. For many of us this version is the " Real" Fleetwood Mac line-up. Peter Green was arguably the best british blues guitarist of his generation. This concert is sort of the Holy Grail of Peter Green fans. Recorded during the North American tour to support the release of their one legitimate masterpiece, " Then Play On". All three of these volumes are superb recordings of this incredibly hot jamming blues band at the very top of their game. Check out the nuanced rhythm stutter to greens playing on " Jumping at Shadows" Or the great jamming on rattlesnake Shake or Green Manalishi. Don't just stop with volume 1 get 'em all! That is, if you are into this sort of thing. If you'd rather have the blended MOR harmonies of Rumors, you better go your own way. That's not happening here.

This album is great, but it's the guitar work on Rattleshake Shake that makes it for me. I cut my teeth on Clapton, The Allman Brothers, and others who were known for the live shows, but only knew Fleetwood Mac through their studio work like Oh Well Pt 1. Hearing this album showed me what a powerhouse they were in their blues heyday, especially with Green and Kirwan taking the leads. Rattleshake Shake is one of my favorites with headphones, to pick out their individual guitar lines. Hearing the sound of their Les Pauls through what sound like cranked old Fender Twins is a good refresher to what blues are supposed to sound like - straight ahead unprocessed sound showing true talent. A great listen.

.."Love Me All The Time!"..Ohh; Yeah; Another "Band Of Brits" obsessed with our own Chicago "Electric Blues!" And echoing the mighty influences of Howlin' Wolf; Muddy Waters; Albert King and John Lee Hooker! (We can only imagine the "Terrific Trio" of Green, Spencer & Kirwan; backed by the rock-solid rhythm section of the Band's founders; Fleetwood & Mac!) {I remember the original "Boston Tea Party" was a just a small nightclub; so "Live In Boston" must have really "Rocked The House!") Dig again the "Burning Blues" of: Like It This Way; Got To Move; Green Manalishi & Black Magic Woman!-"Hail Britania!"-...by Grimmbo.

What a great blues/rock band Fleetwood Mac was before they got pop-ular! Peter Green played blues like he was born in the Mississippi delta, and Mac and Fleetwood were a great rhythm section. Buy it!
