Danny Kirwan and Peter Green played so well together. At the 10 minute mark you just have to sit back and admire the camaraderie.. it’s fucking sensational

[@alteredbeast7145]

Honestly unreal. Generation before were simply better.

[@mt1006]

I don't think there was a duo of Gibson Les Paul guitar players than Danny and Peter together they brought the acid rock era to a whole other level

[@marklane7695]

A real shame there’s no live footage, would have been the icing on the cake,

Synchronicity- just thought the same, my friend.

Peter Green is the master, his solos are so unique and often haunting. He pours his soul out and gets lost in his music. To me, the best ever.

[@stephenpjohnson2866]

there are three guitarists in here....

Peter Green came up with the name Fleetwood Mac in generous tribute to bandmates Mick Fleetwood and John Macvie, even though he was the real star of the show.

[@nguyenba9605]

Close enough. He just doesn't want to be in the spotlight, since Green is a man and a musician with almost zero ego.

I prefer this version to the other extended version. Danny is more involved, and the transition into the clean part is perfect.

[@philipclaasen1957]

Simply sublime. I walk a few kilometers each morning on Table View beachfront across from Table Mountain, Cape Town, with my headphones on listening to this kind of grand brilliance. Fresh air filled with Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. Simply magic. Old Hippie, Cape Town.

[@austinwagner536]

Man at 19:15 the band is just on absolute fire. Sucks nobody really know the REAL Fleetwood Mac.

[@b.rodclark7349]

ÌKR... the 70s lineup was ok but by that time that bluesy thrill was gone away for good although Lindsey Buckingham played some bluesy licks here and there BUT... that triple guitar attitude that planted the Lynyrd Skynyrd seed always gets it for me thanks to 'Blues Jam In Chicago Vol. 2' in my 70s childhood and the volume 1 came along for me 2yrs ago when Greenbaum passed away.

[@maddy7]

Seriously, who today can play with incredible enthusiasm and genuine love of their music for almost 25 minutes, and LIVE to boot! Peter et al were incredible and this for me was FM (Fleetwood Mac) at its best! RIP Peter as your genius is not lost on us fans who followed you for a short but very memorable time.

[@codybluetarp]

This composite + version of "Rattle Snake Shake", via getting Underway of Green's improvisational riff technique that returns to the Reason, which was an intention between him and Danny, whose musical dialogue here is a Musician's Dream. Peter Green met Danny Kirwan at a jam and ended up, well... the music says it; I love this incantation of Fleetwood Mac. The Blues Rock Experimental Era.

[@TheGman858]

Gives me chills everytime I hear this the sound of brilliance IMO the only other band that was on this level at that time was the original lineup of the allman brothers band w duane and betts

[@MarieProvost77]

Not usually a "jam" person (a little young for the '60s but came through enough of them in the '70s & over the years) - this one is epic - a train that keeps going down the tracks; the whole band is a conversant/united organism. Not only holds my attention but creates lots of great sounds & side conversations along the way.

FM brought a little light, wonder and humor into a period of obscurity and weariness in my life. Listening to it many years later, my sensitivity and admiration I felt for it grew. A difficult listening at first, he lends the orchestral direction of his flayed intelligence, until he draws you inevitably into his universe. Each listening reveals a little more of its mystery, its magic, this work becomes ineluctably timeless “Imperial”🌷

Too bad about the fadeout! I would have loved to hear the audience cheering this one. Fantastic.

[@HC3053suevus]

I think it's a shame too, but I suspect that this jam was too long even for a CD. According to the English wikipedia (or another source), when Peter Green was still there - until 1970 - Fleetwood Mac sometimes jamed “at the end” of their concerts for two hours or even longer (almost) without a break, so that a concert that was supposed to end at 11 p.m. , once lasted until 2 a.m. or even until 4 a.m.! It's amazing that the guys managed to do this back then despite (or maybe because of?) their rather heavy drug and alcohol consumption (and like many rock stars etc. "sometimes" probably quite excessive "consumption" of women. :-)).

I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once refered to post "rumors" era Fleetwood Mac as "Flatwood Meek"

[@MarieProvost77]

And, adding to what Tjalfebaby said, yet another version or two, which are also brilliant 'cause Kirwan's still involved, for one thing, along with Fleetwood & McVie. Many fans like everything up until Heroes. The original FM (at its peak, with Kirwan-Green) holds the seed/the juice/the grail.

[@kevincogan5174]

@@allanramusiewicz996 I agree wholeheartedly! As an example...I was not a fan of "The Dead" back in early '80's,but was so curious about the scene,I went to check them out. By the end their first set I was hooked. But perhaps more importantly,they expanded my musical horizons to explore more stuff that I became equally passionate about. I am forever "grateful' to "The Dead" for instilling that hunger. Early Fleetwood Mac with Peter,Danny,Bob illustrates what I'm talking about to the note!

[@jamiegaddis9363]

Fleetwood Mac is generally divided into three versions. The Peter Green version, the Bob Welch/Bob Weston version, and the Buckingham/Nick's version.

[@codybluetarp]

Who says there are only 2 FM's? It's a whole history with certain common threads, like Fleetwood's drumming, Green, Kirwan, McVie's, Weston, Welch, et al over Musical time.

[@rca88]

Most people listening to this epic version, and looking for a video of Rattlesnake Shake, probably already know there is precious little video of Peter Green's FM anywhere, and they know about these much shorter clips too. AFAIK this is all there is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnetYmquZa6igdU kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKO5c2mEjK12ias Do not forget the rhythm section! McVie plays one note forever, but he's grooving, Mick too.
