This is the REAL Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green- Jeremy Spencer- Danny Kirwin - John McVie - Mick Fleetwood, they just jelled together musically and made some amazing music in the short time they were together, 🤘🏼😎🎶🎵
This is FLEETWOOD MAC. And thanks to Peter Green for his contribution. He got them started & handed it over to them. Lets all give a BIG THANKS to Peter Green!!!!! ✌️♥️🤘
Well,they weren't just a cover band.Have you heard of Black Magic Woman?That's a Peter Green song.Coming Your Way?That's a Danny Kirwin song.So many others.
As a 37 year old super fan of Elmore James, I must say, this an absolute powerhouse classic of a cover/improv (the words are slightly different) The guitar is the best example I have ever heard of someone not necessarily emulating Elmore’s great sound, but jamming with it in perfect harmony. I absolutely love this song, and listen to it constantly when I work on my art projects. RU-vid is such a great place to find every classic. Thank you to everyone involved throughout history, that contributed to what I just heard.
These are the words of Robert Johnson's original (?) "Dust My Broom". "I'm gonna call up China, see if my good girl's over there. (X 2) If she ain't in the Philippine Islands, she must be in Ethiopia somewhere." Elmore copied his version, right down to the guitar breaks, but put his amazing electric guitar sound on it and really rocked it up. (Not available when Robert Johnson recorded this on an acoustic in 1932). Listen to Robert Johnson's version here on RU-vid. You'll also hear numerous Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin covers of Johnson songs.
Well... As Andrew said below, the original song is from Robert Johnson... But it is true Elmore James went much beyond in violence and harmony with this insane reverb. He reinvented the song. Green does something wonderfully cool on a par with Elmore's... But he fails to crank that song up to another level unfortunately, because he did not really want it. Canned Heat cover is insane... Buddy Guy's too... but what about ZZ Top's... Insanely loud... It is another generation of this wonderful's song.
I have never heard another player get Elmore's 'sound' like he does and he sings that way too...I'm almost 80 and Elmo James was a pop hit top 100 when I was in Jr High...he galvanized my bones and sped up my puberty.
They were always a great band from the very beginning. The core element was their rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. It's amazing to see these young guys in 1968, and think of all the fantastic recordings that came afterwards, and the incredible talented band members who came and went. Mick and John kept it all going.
FLEETWOOD MAC. THE REAL BAND OF ROCK BLUES ,,,, PETER GREEN OMG WHAT TALENT … OH WELL ,,,, GREEN MANALISHE,,, MAN OF THE WORLD ,,, some of greatest tracks of ALL TIME. GXX
More guitar talent in that group than in any other at any time before or after. This is the original Fleetwood Mac, not the pop group with the same name.
I didn't see Danny Kirwin up there. He wrote some of my favorite FMac tunes, "Child of Mine", and "Bare Trees" just to name a couple. Bob Welch wasn't a slouch either, just not the raw blues style of the original make-up.. And then there was that dude who had an affair with Patty Boyd's sister when she was married to Mick that resulted in them ousting him, and cancelling the remainder of their U.S. tour. There's a trip down rock history lane for you to dust off.
You are right, Michael. This is PETER GREEN'S Fleetwood Mac, no Fleetwood Mac. This is the real good thing, the other is only pop, puajjjjj!!!!!!!!!!!1
I started bass playing along to songs like this around the earliest John Mayall era. Eventually got tired of 12 bar blues but I enjoyed this so much. Being part of a tight R&B section is fun - it's kind of hypnotic
I remember seeing this group at Pirates World in Florida. The amazing guitar work by Peter. Was flying over the music at that concert. It was incredible! The orginal Fleetwood Mac.
Same FM lineup that played at a small teen venue outside of Chicago--The Cellar..home of the Shadows of Knight, greatest garage band ever. Prices for FM show were 5 bucks that night, thought to be a lot at the time, but worth every penny.
With a talent like Peter Green in the group, it's easy for contributions by Jeremy Spencer, and even more so by Danny Kirwan, to be underrated. Jeremy does a good job of this standard.
This is all Jeremy Spencer. Peter Green is laying back on rhythm guitar here. If you love Peter Green, listen to Peter Barden's album "The Answer" to hear some Peter Green in his absolute prime. Wah Wah!
I had a double album of the Original Mac .It was so raw and perfect vocals were insanely good .lve never seen it anywhere since.just called Fleetwood Mac
Jeremy Spencer played our blues club in 1967. A few months later Fleetwood Mac played the cub(one of their first gigs) and there was Jeremy playing with them. We had no idea he had joined!
You can thank Mick for enlisting Buckingham Nicks ,who were recording in the next studio when Bob Welch was playing on his final Fleetwood Mac album next door.
Love it! This was Early on in the Fleetwood days. This Version Rocls just the same as a few others that come to mind. Every time I here Dust My Broom, I think of Don Mare doing a special wind and overwinding a Tele Bridge for me in a way that I can get those Elmore James Sounds with a little rollin' off the knob. I remember when he called and said it was ready.. He told about doing that. I was floored. We'd talked and Shared a love and respect for Roy Buchanan, Elmore James, and many others. But I'll have to say he surprised me with the Elmore James tone. Sorry. Didn't mean to drift off any. But hey.. it's all good!
Before Fleetwood Mac, there was a band called “Chicken Shack.” And their singer, Christine Perfect, did a great rendition of “I’d rather go blind.” And Christine Perfect became Christine McVey.😀
A missed opportunity. I did bump into Micheal Green a few years later when I was about 21. And i gave him a cassette of my band that actually covered black magic woman. I like to think he listened to it. Also kudos to Micheal green... a genuinely lovely guy that earned my respect... I didnt have much at 12 for anyone. If u read this mike... I hope I didn't murder you're brothers song toooo badly
