Fleetwood Mac - Trinity

[@megadave1197]

People often think that the Peter Green story is the most tragic part of the band’s history but it wasn’t it was Danny Kirwan. He never gets the credit he deserved. On this track alone he literally created the sound for what Mac went on to earn millions. He got short changed. Probably the most underrated guitarist and songwriter ever.

On this day, November 30th, 2022, we lose Christine McVie.

[@megadave1197]

@carolinewoodward1016 Yea although Greeny did return in the 90s and seemed happy

[@megadave1197]

@carolinewoodward1016 In the skies is amazing album. I actually like The End of the Game too

[@tetrahedron1000]

@carolinewoodward1016 On Then Play On, it's mostly Danny. Peter said so himself.

[@ericwalter4771]

I first got into Peter Green as most people have , but soon realized I identified with and really appreciated Danny’s approach to music way more. His albums with Fleetwood Mac have become so special to me over the years. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to experience any of this great music first hand.

[@sveinolavespeland1451]

The world needs more Danny Kirwan

[@dackmont]

I can see why Danny sometimes wept while he played. So much soul, what an amazing song!

[@jeremy-cb2nn]

Amazing! Danny! What a talent!

[@bluzgrl2187]

A very strong Kirwan on this one ! absolutely pure !

[@denise-d9v]

Danny's voice sounds very strong here. Gotta love it.💗

[@paddy722]

Denise S it's beautiful

[@josephchester386]

Danny Kirwan kept this band afloat after P.G. and Spencer left. So much great material in a few short years. Title track of 'Bare Trees' might just be the hardest rock F.M. ever put out. Dueling guitars between Danny & Bob Welch with a heavy bass line from John.

[@reflection9924]

Danny’s Chant is a violent psych rocker that I love too

[@shandyshandy-hm4ql]

First time I have heard the recorded version, it’s a real treat to here anything Danny that I haven’t discovered👍🎶

[@yvindkongsvoll7234]

increbibel gitarist

[@paulnichols2233]

Miss you Danny

[@stickpictures]

So many people who think they know about FM from their pop phase have no idea this stuff even exists. Always fun to see eyes opened when they stumble on one of these links.

[@BlackHatMagic85]

Sounds great in headphones!

[@sgdeluxedoc]

That's how danny recorded it, to sound best in headphones.

[@paddy722]

I keep coming back to this song. Every time I do, i cry. I love it

[@konstantinroser4245]

Young eyes Danny:Showing his coming talent later beyond recognition

[@MrGShev]

i love this tune. Along with Oh Well, two of my favourite Mac tunes.

[@texas4christ]

They could not release this song or the entire heavy metal world would have been shamed . Danny shows how it is done , and Danny's chant also reminds us that after 14 or 15 years old one moves on from the banal noise of the judas priests , megadeaths etc.

[@baliscotsurf]

James Prichard Give Priest some slack..at least THEY app the Mac. They did cover Manalishi. Good OR bad

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

James...your comment makes no sense. What has this got to do with Heavy Metal? Completely different times and genres. Megadeth? How is all this related? As for Judas Priest..again they were completely different

[@wormX666]

Stupid close minded comment

[@stickpictures]

Master class in guitar tone right there.

[@freelywheely]

Rest in Power, Danny Kirwan.

[@Rhiabbaco]

If you haven't listen to that album (Bare Trees), i highly recomended it. Maybe their best Pre-Buckingham Nicks album

[@dackmont]

Future Games too imo... back-to-back greatness

[@megadave1197]

Fleetwood Mac 68-72 were fabulous. Anything after Bare Trees I just don’t like.

[@konstantinroser4245]

Best at all together with Future Games with Sands of time & Dust as songs from another world beyond our knowledge

[@trfesok]

Definitely, not maybe! :))

[@jeremy-cb2nn]

​@@konstantinroser4245Dust exists in another realm beyond our understanding

[@trfesok]

@ David Treciak -- Kirwan already had five songs on "Bare Trees". It would have been pushing it politically to put a 6th on! But I put the album and this marvelous song in my Mac playlist. Thanks for uploading, Dogg!

[@stevehoran5595]

This is much much better than Danny's Chant.

[@jeremy-cb2nn]

​@@stevehoran5595Easily!

[@trfesok]

Actually, it was intended for "Bare Trees." "Mirage" didn't come out until 1982!

[@stickpictures]

Yeah, that's what I thought

[@ricochetrat952]

I was going too say the same thing until I saw your post

[@paddy722]

I just love this song.

[@johnleduc5276]

Is there a Danny Kirwan appreciation club? If not, there should be, cuz there aren't many artists I've heard that compare with him and Peter Green IMHO.

[@kirvanext]

Yes! Theres a group on facebook :-)

[@johnleduc5276]

What's the name of it? Danny Kirwan appreciation club? Maybe. I'll see if I can check it out

[@davidkrause6990]

I liked Bare Trees just the way it is. Great!

[@marjorum5323]

My first Great album!love

[@tedstone5934]

This song sounds even better when you crank it on the car radio. Another gem from DK.

[@FF-so3su]

Danny Kirwan track unreleased from future games /bare trees era. Check out the live in Germany version from 72🙂👍🙂

[@mikes8698]

To me Danny was the best player in FM, in any Era, Peter Green #2.

[@sfender2182]

Lindsay Buckingham is very good too !! I love Danny and Peter more though.

[@fmahave87]

This song should have been included on Bare Trees instead of Thoughts on a Grey Day.

[@rolandofgilead43]

i agree i never cared for that one

[@Rhiabbaco]

Exactly, this song is from the "Bare Trees" sessions, not from "Mirage"

[@edwardkazala825]

I can hear where Bob Welch "borrowed" some of this for "Miles Away" on "Mystery to Me."

[@dackmont]

Great observation, particularly the intro's

[@freelywheely]

They hated each other, Danny and Bob. Danny's last solo album had a cover that ripped off Bob's album, French Kiss

[@rayking9781]

Ha! Now I know more people besides me have heard that too.

[@pauladams9287]

Great Danny song

[@ParkinsonProduction]

RIp

[@scifiwriter98]

It's too bad they couldn't fit this on Bare Trees. It's a much better track than Welch's songs.

[@dackmont]

They should've replaced "Danny's Chant" with this imo

[@freelywheely]

Most things are better than Welch's songs. He's the reason Danny was fired.

[@larrylanberg3552]

I did something & you ought to try it to, with this song. Open it up as a stereo track then seperate to two mono tracks (channels). Invert one of the channels then mix both into one mono track. Save this/keep it open. Then open the regular stereo track here. Play/mix that mono track with the stereo track. The power guitar chords really stand out, making the song quite heavy.

[@MeIasKhole]

Nice! You ought to post it up as a “fan remaster” for those of us too lazy to recreate it ourselves

[@larrylanberg3552]

@@MeIasKhole I might do that. Its great fun too. But this polarity inversion method only works good on certain songs. "Morning Rain" is another where that trick brings the song to life.

[@Diostillrocks]

This track was not on Mirage. Lindsey Buckingham wasn't in the band then. Lindsey couldn't even play this style of guitar.

[@905Alive]

Oh on his way….. he had to go 😢

[@alexkx8599]

What are you saying here? This was recorded in 1971 and re-recorded for "Mirage" in 1982? You sure don't make that clear at all how you state it.

[@KingCobra3849]

I wish Peter and Danny never stepped foot at that LSD party In Germany. I think it had alot to do with both of them developing acute schizophrenia.

[@trfesok]

Where is "Trinity"? Great tune, but a little sparse in the lyrics..

[@paddy722]

trfesok its about the music man

[@dackmont]

It's on their 4-cd box set

[@trfesok]

I actually meant, where 's the town?

[@dackmont]

@@trfesok heh. Not sure... offhand, can't find any major Trinity cities/towns in Great Britain... could be one of the Trinity Colleges? Or fictional.... it's a good lyric

[@JohnThompson-re3dt]

trfesok I’d guess he means Trinity College, Oxford (or Cambridge, both have a Trinity College) because he says “came down from Trinity”. Very posh English people say “went up to University/Came down from University” instead of just “went” and “came back”.

[@rumblebars]

Strong song here, but I can see why they left it off of Bare Trees. Danny was great at writing instrumentals but not so much at words, which is why songs like Dust exist and even those are repetitive. This one is also lacking in lyrical depth, repeating the same way that "Dust" did, and with two similar tracks at hand, I think they chose to include the better of the two. Still I think this was good enough to make the record at the time.

[@dackmont]

To my ears this sounds like nothing else on an early '70's Mac LP. Haunting.

[@Stughalf]

It's better than all of Bob's songs on the album, so yeah it definitely belonged.

[@tonykemp3432]

Listen to sands of time.... Future games I think...... Excellent kirwan track.... Probably the best one on the album

[@howardwalton1876]

He was a world class writer of melody, an excellent guitar player, and good singer. Lyrics were his Achilles heel. This song perfectly encapsulates those facts.

[@Diostillrocks]

Kirwan didn't write the lyrics to "Dust". It was from a poem by Rupert Brookes. Kirwan may have changed a couple of words here and there, but he left a lot of the poem alone.

[@yvindkongsvoll7234]

tellibel slide dere destroy the whole song

[@FF-so3su]

For mirage? 😂🤣😅 Bare Trees surely?
