Fleetwood Mac looking on to their UK gigs. John McVie is a man of few words but Mick and Christine say their piece. It will be the FM usual type show but I’m looking out for some moments of nostalgia, story telling, celebrating the early legacy etc as they head back to where it all started.

“Being one of a few women in such a highly testosterone-filled world was an odd situation. I actually loved that world and thankfully was treated with friendliness and respect for the most part. Playing in Fleetwood Mac raised a few challenges in that they had enjoyed more fame and success than I’d experienced before and those shoes of Peter Green were big ones to fill.” Christine McVie

“Danny Kirwan was insanely talented with tons of bravado to boot. Fleetwood Mac had three, uniquely-talented lead guitarists: Danny and Peter on lead with harmonies and rhythms that were, for the time, pretty out there, while Jeremy kept us true to our blues roots. It was a perfect balance only rivaled, some years later, by the chemistry between Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham.” - Mick Fleetwood

A wide ranging interview with Mick Fleetwood in March 2017, but centering on Peter Green’s legacy, with the band’s 50 year anniversary. Excerpt:
‘Forever shying away from the limelight, it was Green who suggested naming the band after the rhythm section. But this, according to the book, was just one example of his generosity as a musician.“Peter could have been the stereotypical superstar guitar player and control freak,” Fleetwood says. “But that wasn’t his style... He was also always willing to give as much space and creative freedom to other members, like guitarist Jeremy Spencer, and songwriter Danny Kirwan, at the expense of his own creativity.”
“For his legacy I think it’s important we remember that Fleetwood Mac was, first and foremost, a blues band. We all played and loved blues. And long after Peter left, we went to Chess Records in Chicago where we recorded with Willie Dixon and Buddy Guy. Can you imagine how that made us feel? Such an incredible experience could not have happened without Peter because, even though he wasn’t with us, the reason there’s a Fleetwood Mac at all is because of him.”’

Peter Green and B.B. King

Description: “English guitarist Peter Green in a London recording studio (Olympic Studios) with American blues singer and guitarist B.B. King, June 1971. They are working on the album 'B.B. King In London'."
BB King is quoted as saying of Green: "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats." Testament to Peter's authentic style.

Fleetwood Mac - live debut 13 August 1967 part 1
Fleetwood Mac’s live debut at the 7th National Jazz and Blues Festival in Windsor.
L-R: Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer with one of those very big guitars, Mick Fleetwood, and Bob Brunning on bass.
John McVie had not yet decided to join the band - even though it had been partially named after him! He was still with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers - who also performed at the same festival.
Another act on the bill - a group called Chicken Shack with a talented singer/keyboardist called Christine Perfect. Chicken Shack were making their UK debut after a month before then of gigs in Hamburg. It was the day she was to meet Fleetwood Mac for the first time...

Fleetwood Mac - live debut 13 August 1967 part 2
Poster for the 7th National Jazz and Blues Festival in Windsor, 1967. On final day of the festival ‘Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac’, ‘John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers’ and ‘Chicken Shack’ played.
Fleetwood Mac’s performances at the festival and the Marquee Club two days later were both recorded and released on CDs and/or vinyl. I’ve heard them on YouTube but there is no current commercial release in any format - a factor may be that the sound quality of the recordings isn’t the best.
However, as Bob Brunning stated in 1992: “One can clearly hear the potential of the band that would become one of the world’s biggest and most successful acts. However, many fans and musicians I spoke to, spoke of their real affection and admiration for their early work, when they were arguably the U.K.’s very finest Blues/R ‘n’ B Band… Powered by the mighty Mick Fleetwood from behind, Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer were already leading the way, and Fleetwood Mac were well on the way to enduring success.”

A 2014 article with more information about Christine McVie’s career before joining Fleetwood Mac.
‘Get Like You Used To Be’ was an original song from the ‘Chicken Shack’ era that was occasionally performed during Fleetwood Mac shows. It was also the first song that Christine played when returning to performing in 2013, with the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band in Maui. I think that shades of ‘Don’t Stop’ can be heard in it.

Christine McVie - or Christine Perfect as she was still commonly known circa 1969. First two pictures are of Christine with British blues based band Chicken Shack who she was a member of from 1967-1969, recording two albums with them.
The remainder are from around the time she received the Melody Maker award for best female singer in September 1969.
Chicken Shack single of 1969 - 'I'd Rather Go Blind'.

An interesting 2017 Rolling Stone article about the Stevie Nicks penned Fleetwood Mac track ‘Silver Springs’. The song would have been included on the Rumours LP if not for the limited album space available on vinyl. Over the years however, it has become a definite classic.
