really do love the old stuff. have a decent vinyl collection and have most of this stuff in the stack. listen to it often...along with buffalo springfield, delaney and bonnie, dylan,early stones and the like. there is just something about where music was back then that keeps me coming back for more

Always a great trivia question, people I know have always thought this was all Carlos Santana...

Like Pink Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett, Peter was an acid casualty way back when. He rebounded somewhat with his Splinter band, but somewhat is the operative word. I've checked out some of the his Splinter band's work and none of it comes even close to measuring up what Greeny was writing, playing and singing back in the late '60s.

What with the demise of Peter, Jeremy, Danny and now Bob Welch, Fleetwood Mac has a tainted history when it comes to personnel survival. It's amazing that John didn't fully succumb to the bottle and that Stevie didn't OD on pharma coke.

True enough. However, I don't think he's exactly a household name, especially when compared with the name of the band he helped spawn.

One legend gives rise to another. I gotta give this an 8 because it's a mighty cool groove, and the way it shifts to a straight blues piece that Los Lobos or Stevie Ray probably liked.

Wow. Being on probably the younger side of RP listeners, the only Fleetwood Mac I ever knew growing up was with Stevie, Lindsey, Christine, etc. RP has introduced me to the early stuff, and I really like it. I had no idea that this wasn't an original Santana song. I like both versions, but the local classic rock station plays Santana's to death. I also like all the various lineups of Fleetwood Mac.

A Peter Green classic...  an ancient version of Fleetwood Mac, and some argue the best...  I love them all...

Ah Fleetwood Mac when it was a proper blues/rock band. Before the pop-girlies ruined it....lol. I love these old tracks from them.

I know all the cool kids and well knowledged older musical experts are chic to say how great early Fleetwood Mac is, but I just don't get it. Rumours is still their masterpiece IMO.

Well spotted. Excellent and solid drumming.

I'd have had trouble not putting in an occasional mini cymbal comedy 'ding'.

Thank you, meadowwoods! This is so much more soulful than the Santana rendition. Plus, it prompted some supplemental history from other listeners, too.  No bad here! {#Mrgreen}

Hearing this track just now prompted me to read the Wikipedia article on the band.  Interesting article.  I did not know that Christine McVie was Christine Perfect before she married John McVie! {#Curtain}

Had no idea.  I prefer Santana's version, although this is a welcome change.

I didn't know Bill Murray did a version of this!

But really, I like this MUCH better than Santana's version.

Eric Clapton's autobiography is a very very good read for the personal view he allows us to have of him. But a byproduct is a music history lesson. And part of that is the role early Fleetwood Mac had on the 60's English Blues Rock scene. FM was every bit as involved as the Yardbirds, John Mayhall, and many others.
 
Right. Read Fleetwood, if you can find a copy.
