Introducing: Fleetwood Mac｜Vinyl Monday

[@abigaildevoe]

what’s your favorite FM era? comment below!

[@fernandoluzuriagaacosta5338]

While I do like some of the PG era records, Buckingham/Nicks took them to another level.

[@BeckyLStoutWriter]

🐧 Okay, not really. In fact, I'm not even a big fan of that album, but I wanted to use the penguin emoji. 😊 Seriously, though, I do always point to Bare Trees when some fool tries to say that Fleetwood Mac wasn't good until Stevie and Lindsay showed up. Oh, the wrongness of that mentality! 🙄

[@jajcasz6648]

Peter Green's of course!

[@davidellis5141]

Buckingham / Nicks though Hypnotized is my favorite song & The Chain ⛓️ a close second.

[@AdvenuringTime]

Tragedy era. Schizophrenia, alcoholism cults all rock and roll

[@josemaria8177]

Abby these past weeks: "So I heard you like Fleetwood Mac and self titled albums, so I gave you Fleetwood Mac's Self Titled album and followed it with Fleetwood Mac's Self Titled album"

[@abigaildevoe]

don’t mind me, i’m sidequesting

[@marcyfan-tz4wj]

sorry about this wayne kramer thing, abby. i've been reading "the hard stuff", sly stone's autobiography and thought of you despite the over half century age difference.@@abigaildevoe

[@theprisonerofmars]

I love the last Peter Green Mac album, Then Play On. That's a good one!

[@richardelliott8352]

When reaching for a Fleetwood Mac record, it is hard to pass up that one.

[@Sckott01]

I love "Then Play On" more than most Fleetwood, but this debut release (Sony/Columbia UK) is fantastic and Abigail reviewed it superbly. She gets it, scary-good.

[@cole20s]

Fun fact, my dad chilled with Peter Green in the early 70s. My dad went to Goddard and Peter Green was just sort of drifting/living on the campus at the time. My dad said he was clearly going through it but a nice guy

[@davidlee6720]

Peter Green still recognised by many as the greatest guitarist, not afraid to leave notes out instead of cramming everything in to impress, 'O Well' a masterpiece with a great ending which most jockeys tend to leave off, the numpties, and thereby ruining a masterpiece work of art in the process. He wrote so many unique pieces including Albatross, Green Manalishi etc. A poet as well, Peter Green was a natural-born Blues-man and Rocker besides being the originator of the true Fleetwood Mac as far as I am concerned.

[@kenjohnston1257]

I can't imagine the ending of Oh Well wasn't influenced by Ennio Morricone

[@glynjames4266]

First lp I ever bought in 1969.I remember playing it at a friends house and his older brother came into the room and dumped a copy of Muddy Waters live at Newport on the bed saying ‘play this it’s the real thing !’ Been a blues fan ever since (I’m now 69).xx

[@greypossum1]

There is no doubt about it. You are the most informative musical content creator I have ever seen. Your research is impeccable and your enthusiasm is second to none.

[@alanjerram9258]

The whole Peter Green Fleetwood Mac history thing has been a great big hole in my musical knowledge base, until today. Abigail Devoe your writing and delivery are so good it's easy to overlook what a great researcher you are.

[@BlueSky...]

This is a gateway album to the blues, much like The Rolling Stones first album is. Most of us probably "back into the blues" nowadays through albums like this Fleetwood Mac S/T and the Stones first LP, and heck,that's what members of both groups would have hoped---that their efforts would turn younger folks like us onto the OG blues artists who were so phenomenal.

[@abigaildevoe]

omg HOW did i forget about the STONES in this conversation?? they were the reigning kings of white-boy blues in the beginning! and i literally have those albums. thank you for filling in this HUGE blank for me, i hope other commenters see your insight here

[@BlueSky...]

@@abigaildevoe You're most welcome, Abby 👍

[@ESPEEandERIE]

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac is in my top three all time favorite bands. I bought all of their albums when first released and own 26 CD albums by them. I got to see them perform live at Fillmore West in 1969 and it is one of the most memorable concerts I've ever seen and I've seen many in the past 56 years.

[@abigaildevoe]

nice! what was the lineup for that fillmore show? was christine a full-time member yet?

[@ESPEEandERIE]

@@abigaildevoe I was just reminded it was January 1970 that I saw them. The Byrds were the headliners, Fleetwood Mac was the middle act and John Hammond rounded out the bill. The FM lineup was Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan, John McVie & Mick Fleetwood. The following month they did the Boston Tea Party shows and in May Peter left the band. It was a great show and one Peter Green song stuck in my head for decades wishing there was a recording of it. I flipped out when I heard it on the Boston Tea Party CD’s almost 30 years later.

[@BlueSky...]

At his very best, I'm not sure anyone ever matched Peter Green for elegance and visceral power on guitar. His playing stands outside of time.

[@terenzo50]

Saw them in '68 before Danny joined. Incredible. One of their tunes had the rent-a-cop I was standing next to blushing. I guess he was unused to what the blues can sometimes be about. Arthur Brown opened and headliners were The Who -- also incredible.

[@beatmet2355]

I’m jealous you saw both early FM and the Who

[@brumleytwitch6265]

In case you've never checked it out, my favorite White British Blues album of all time is the first album by Taste (1969) feat. Rory Gallagher. This is British Blues gold. If you are familiar with the album, I'd love to see it get some recognition on vinyl Monday. If you haven't heard it, GO NOW AND LISTEN!!!!!

[@willhargreaveshf]

Been subscribed for a while, but this is the first vinyl Monday I've given a proper watch. I watched the collection video a while back and always love the aesthetic, but I now finally have the time and opportunity to stay current and make my way through the catalogue. And man, it is not disappointing. You rock, Abi!

[@tomedmonson501]

I meant to say it last week, but I’m really liking the non-copyright-blockable snippets of songs. They really do make a positive difference.

[@abigaildevoe]

thanks! i'm glad people like them. i talk about such specific snippets that i rarely have trouble with them. except for rumours, that one had to be reuploaded 3 times! and of course DSOTM

[@theycallhimwoods]

Your introduction to this album via Greta Van Fleet is not as embarassing as mine. I was in 7th Grade in 1977 and had a bit of a crush on a girl named Rosemarie. Rosemarie had an older sister named Rene and like most young girls of the era, by the early summer of '77 had become obsessed with a singer named Stevie Nicks. I was sure that if I knew something about the music that Rosemarie liked I would be undoubtely be able to win her over with my charm. I had been attempting to learn guitar via an teacher in his late teens/early 20s who gave lessons in the back of a "Music Store" which was a few years later shut down when New York City introduced their "anti- head shop" laws. Through my guitar teacher I had been introduced to the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton and when I mentioned that I was interested Fleetwood Mac his eyes lit up and he pulled out a copy of "Dog and Dust Bin". After this introduction I attempted to speak to Rosemarie about Peter Green & Jeremy Spencer and she stared at me extremely confused and we never spoke again.

[@avery7001]

😂😂😮That Greta is cute😢😮😂

[@avery7001]

I heard that saying when the bar was closeing once 😢😂❤

[@avery7001]

They were anticipating Christine McVie holding them😢😮😂😅😊😮😅😢😮😂🎉❤

[@leighfoulkes7297]

Fleetwood Mac's version of "Black Magic Women" is the best hands down. That guitar tone is just perfect and I can't get enough of Peter Green's voice. Look up Peter Green's guitar for an interesting history of guitar that is slightly out of phase.

[@Alligator6002]

It's the best because Peter Green wrote it

[@dangodango4896]

Abby I've discovered your channel just 3 days ago and I couldn't wait to watch your first new video! Everything's perfect, your room, your outfits and I would listen to you for hours! Great video, I am going to listen to the record!

[@5118eman]

Get a copy of Live at the Boston Tea Party it will blow your mind. Long Grey Mare on live at the BBC is classic

[@colingillis5989]

Great review of something I never bothered to listen to! Maybe it's my old selfs' aversion to Fleetwood Mac in general. My loss, I'm cueing it up at work tomorrow! Reminds me of the Canned Heat s/t LP. They were the blues nerds from the SF psych scene and that album kicks ass! Dust My Broom is included in the tracks and the best Catfish Blues ever except for the Jimi Hendrix version! Cheers!

[@stevengornall934]

My grandfather grew up in the same area in London as Danny Kirwan Him and Danny were drinking friends at pubs Supposedly he was a bit nervous and kinda kept to himslef My dad also met him countless times As the 3rd generation and a massive FM fan this was so shocking to me

[@kingjohnny4314]

I was actually so happy to see you were doing the debut! Amazing blues album! I hope we get to see some more progressive rock in the future (ie. King crimson, rush, yes, etc.)

[@patrickmcevoy5080]

My intro to this version of the band was an album I found in a used bin, called "The original Fleetwood Mac", a 1971 U.S. compilation of outtakes from their early era. I was surprised to find it, since most of what I knew of them was the Buckingham/Nicks era. Playing along with it on guitar, I learned most of my blues licks from that album, so you could say it's one of the most influential records in my life.

[@kenjohnston1257]

That's more or less how I found this era. I found "Vintage Years" in a used rack and bought it out of curiosity having no idea it was straight blues. From there straight down the rabbithole into Peter Green land

[@markhorton1718]

A fantastic album!! I was listening to it last night!! Peter Green Era!!

[@markzutkoff1800]

Re the bass line of "No Place To Go" and its similarity to "How Many More Times": I think the root of both is "Smokestack Lightning"; Jimmy Page used to riff from this song on the intro to live versions of "How Many More Times". And "How Many More Times" is a conglomeration of multiple blues songs, which doesn't detract from its majesty (it's in my top 5 Zeppelin tracks). I knew "Black Magic Woman" was a Peter Green original, but I had no idea it was derived from "I Loved Another Woman". I learned something new today! Thanks! Your delivery on this video was scintillating. Not that previous ones weren't, but you just seemed SO into your subject, and I really liked the speed at which you delivered your content. You kept me engaged throughout. Great job! I actually think having these "Fleetwood Mac S/T" videos as separate entities is good. They're really two different beasts, and should persist that way.

[@luiscmusik]

LOve this one... Peter Green era is pure magic!

[@konowd]

Years ago I worked at an Office Depot and John Mayall came in, I tripped out when I saw the name on his credit card

[@JohnGMeadows]

I have to admit I had never gone back to the beginning with Fleetwood Mac, and your episode inspired me to find this record on a streaming service and give it a listen. Liking it so far!

[@LesleyHunter-ic9to]

I love all eras of Fleetwood Mac. I have been a longtime fan and collector of the band. Awesome couple of Vinyl Mondays episodes.

[@jasonnewby]

I was just listening to the first two Bluesbreakers albums last night, the second featuring Peter Green. The first self titled Mac album is actually one I don't own on vinyl..yet. I've been trying to find a deal on an original press. I was unfamiliar with the early Mac until recently but its great UK blues. Its quite sad what happened to Peter. He was a great talent.

[@richardelliott8352]

it it too bad that a lot of people had troubles before today's great advances in the science of mental health became available. yea science.

[@mikeforbes7705]

Abbie, a great choice! If you're looking for other great Brit Blues, check out Savoy Brown's Getting To The Point, Blue Matter, and Raw Sienna - any album with Chris Youdlin on vocals.

[@dennismason3740]

Savoy Brown created a masterpiece that year called Train to Nowhere with Chris Youlden on vocal. Another Brit band doing blues right. Way before Slow Ride.

[@flannigan7956]

Yezzir the Chris Youlden Savoy Brown kicks ass

[@dennismason3740]

@@flannigan7956 - Yup. Train to Nowhere was a local hit in L.A. in 1969. Every once in a while blues sneaks in.

[@garybacica5709]

Abigail, did you know that Peter's Les Paul guitar is very special and unique? The bridge pickup. He took it out and put it back in backwards or something. Gave it a sound like no other Les Paul. It was nicknamed Greenie after Peter and I think Slash from Guns and Roses bought it a few years ago.

[@GoldAmple]

Actually it was the neck pickup and it was bought by Kirk Hammet of Metallica

[@theprisonerofmars]

I agree with you about John Lee Hooker. Live at Soledad prison is the album for me!

My favorite period of Fleetwood Mac is the Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch era of the band. Heroes Are Hard to Find, Mystery to Me, Penguin, Future Games, and Bare Trees!

[@jlovebirch]

Another sterling video. I believe most viewers would be happy to see the early-70s FM records covered as well sometime.

[@jamesnock5572]

OMG next week weve got some funky ****!!😂🙋‍♂️♒️

[@chrisnicol1644]

This one led me to the triple live set: Boston, 1970, and THAT is amazing...

[@marcribe6483]

I was 15, living in South America and in love with the Beatles and the sixties when Rumours was released and Dreams flooded the airwaves. All of a sudden this cool new band called Fleetwood Mac existed and something different from them was always playing on FM radio. I think it took almost another year before I heard a story about this British blues guitarist called Peter Green that played as well as Eric Clapton. Remember this was at a time when information was printed, cost money and therefore teenagers relied mostly on word of mouth. So from that nugget of info I found out about this other band named Fleetwood Mac from the late sixties. And that's how I got to know about this album, which by the mid seventies had been out of print for years.

[@Productions427]

It’s definitely been interesting to learn about Fleetwood Mac’s history these last couple weeks. I knew that Fleetwood Mac existed before Stevie, Lindsey, and Christine joined, but I honestly had no idea that the history of the group before them was so long and tumultuous. I always assumed there was maybe one or two albums before the more familiar lineup came to be, but the reality of how many lineups and how many LPs there were before that is crazy.

[@johnelrick8945]

The first two albums are very special. Rootsy, rough around the edges and a delight for the ears. Love that Burns, from Mr. Wonderful is very, very special.

[@simonagree4070]

Finally, the real Fleetwood Mac. Actually, I like the addition of Danny Kirwan, and then Christine -- Kiln House is far and away my favorite. Fleetwood Mac at The BBC is a good "compare and contrast" overview of the three singer/guitarist lineup. I'd bet money that Fleetwood did that first album cover, though I can't say why.

[@kenjohnston1257]

This era of FM is distinct in the spooky blues atmosphere they created, and I think a lot of it has to do with Mick's drumming. The Bluesbreakers were incredible but for early Brit blues FM is my favorite

[@glennandadriansrocktalk]

John Mayall is still alive - and still gigging I believe!

[@abigaildevoe]

yes he turned 90 last year!! still gigging at almost 91, i can’t believe it

[@richardrose2606]

Actually, he has officially retired from performing.

[@UniversalBlackRocker]

Great classic album with Peter and Jeremy. That makes me want to dig more deep into the blues again.

[@ice9snowflake187]

This is a different band than the more famous Fleetwood Mac, except for the rhythm section, anyway. It's a straight blues record. The first English blues band I ever heard that could play blues rhumbas and shuffles. The cover is a lot like a Howlin' Wolf album I have from much earlier, with a guy in an alley with trash cans.

[@dennismason3740]

Nobody did justice to Elmore James like Jeremy Spencer

[@5118eman]

I loved Peter Green....Miss Him

[@thecaveofthedead]

Jeremy Spencer is justifiably remembered mostly for being part of a creepy-as-hell cult. But he really was something. I even wrote an Elmore James song because JS made it seem ok. I learned to play slide guitar because of him, and he really had one in a thousand energy. A genuinely underrated guitar player - like Danny Kirwan too. You're spot on though. I'd forgotten how weak this record is compared to the other PG Fleetwood Mac albums - where Peter's absolute genius really took flight. I totally agree with your choices of best tracks. Oh. This FM was my gateway drug. From having the '70s golden era demonised as 'soft rock' for years, I gradually started really listening and got hooked like just about everyone else.

[@dennismason3740]

Both - Butterfield/Fleetwood Mac. 2 different bands, a zillion epic guitar players. I just realized that I saw John Mayall in 1969 and then again in 1999. Numbers! How many mo' years, you gonna do me like you do...

[@jon-paulfilkins7820]

Urban legend has it that the photo is one alleyways round Denmark Street (a music mecca in London for sheet music shops and music equipment, or those of us of a certain age and interest... the original Forbidden Planet). One of the rumors regards the start of the band, with the blue breakers they were salaried, on their own, they could keep all the cash made in their name. But it came with risks.

[@DetroitRockCitizen]

What you were listening to on streaming came from the The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions box. You can really dive into a rabbit hole with this edition of the band. There are numerous releases of live music and outtakes. By the way Abby, I hate to break your heart, but Jeremy Spencer is just as short as Marc Bolan.

Fun fact: there is a bootleg of the complete Windsor gig of 1967 online (their first official concert) you can find it on you tube if you search it, happy listening

[@loverution]

The album with the American flag on the cover is "There's a Riot Goin' On" by Sly & the Family Stone. A bonafide classic, it is (If you pair it with Ramsey Lewis's "Funky Serenity", you'll have something). A complete 180 of what they did before like "Dance to the Music" or "Stand!", but still enjoyable.

[@fernandoluzuriagaacosta5338]

Enjoyable record. RIP Peter Green. Their best pre-Buckingham/Nicks is Then Play On though, IMO.

I saw them live in Detroit in 1969 then bought their album Then Play On (amazing album) which I still listen to today. Since you mentioned him I saw John Lee Hooker in Detroit too.

[@leighfoulkes7297]

Hey, John Lee Hooker is one of my favorite blues guys too and I own a reprint of "Traveling" (I'd add Lead Belly, Skip James, Mississippi John Hurt and Charles Patton to the list). You have to do Fleetwood Mac's "then Play on" and "Tusk" back-to-back next. Love this album. Mike Vernon had to fight at times to get the boys to take recording seriously. That's where you here him clicking his fingers trying to get the boys to stop messing around with false starts or purposely playing the wrong song (they didn't have the time to mess around).

There were a couple of fine parodies in that era. First - `Liverpool Scene` on their 1969 album, `Bread in the Night` did "I`ve got those Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack, John Mayall, Can`t Fail Blues" and the `Bonzo`s sang "Can Blue Men Sing the Whites?" on their 1968 album, `The Doughnut in Granny`s Greenhouse`.

Fleetwood Mac has some amazing players come through their line ups over the years the 60s Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, the early 70s Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch era which is my favorite era and the iconic Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham era we all know and love and the 90s with Billy Burnette, Rick Vito and dave Mason no matter what era you dig Mick and john have kept this legendary band going for almost over six decades giving us timeless music

Around the '70's, PGFM released a double LP, "Fleetwood Mac in Chicago" - they recorded there with some of their heroes. All the studio chatter was kept (including the Chicago masters being rude to the white kids). PGFM is my favorite (I was around 20) & my favorite LP is "Then Play On"

[@alansmith1989]

The groups debut single (UK Nov 1967) was "I Believe my Time Ain`t Long" Backed with "Rambling Pony" It came out (In the UK) on the CBS label as `Blue Horizon` had not got their distribution ready. Sadly- though a fine blues single (In my opinion) it did not meet with any success in any of the Three (At that time) UK charts.

Now this is the version of Fleetwood Mac that is criminally neglected. The band with Peter Green is a beast of a hard blues band. I say they have more muscle than Cream and the Yardbirds, and could have easily crushed Led Zeppelin and the Who. But they didn't, which is a crime.

[@abigaildevoe]

from what i've seen of PGFM live here on youtube, they were a better live act than cream for sure. as much as i love cream and as talented as those guys were individually, they were rarely all on the same wavelength. FM were locked in and had so much fun together

[@menot2993]

@@abigaildevoe Yeah. Totally agree. I saw a vid of a performance they did for British TV. I think it was on the Grey Whistle Test -- btw the best music show ever. Watching them totally locked and piping out some vicious blues was an amazing sight. And of course, a very young Mick Fleetwood being a beast on the drums. Now that was a totally different FM experience. As a side note, I am a huge fan of Joe Bonamassa who is a huge fan of PGFM. I mean to see Bonamassa play with Fleetwood and McVie would be such a gift.

[@IanYoung-u3v]

In 1971 CBS put out a double lp set entitled "English Rose", the first disc features material from their early "unofficial" 1967 sessions, including Peter's autobiographical "A Fool No More", "Driftin'" and the instrumental "Fleetwood Mac" (and also the most hideous cover shot of Mick Fleetwood as "English Rose", I'll leave that to your already vivid imagination, Abby). The second disc features the more familiar 1968 material like "Black Magic Woman", Danny Kirwan's heartbreaking "Something Inside Of Me" and Peter's "Love That Burns", but it's the first disc of their early recordings that I think should have been their actual debut, but was probably unavailable because of it's "unofficial" origin. Well worth seeking out.
