For me, Christie is the greatest female rock singer of the last fifty years. Just a beautiful voice that could never be replaced and a great songwriter too.
Danny Kirwin's playing is instantly recognized with his sweet vibrato. Too bad he is not acknowledged for what a remarkable guitar God, Hero, Master he truly was.
@@CharlesChestnut51 A rather unneccesary comment, and one I doubt would have earned Duane's approval. His respect for fellow musicians is well known, he said of Dickey Betts "I'm the famous one, he's the good one."
Always nice to hear pre-superstar Fleetwood Mac, that era after Peter Green left and before Stevie and Lindsey is sadly under heard by most. The real rock fans who lived the 70s know better. Great stuff! RIP to the great Christine McVie, one of the best. 🎵
It's a nice era of the band with several good albums. I listened to Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and forgot about them until Buckingham/Nicks joined. You can credit Buckingham and Nicks for a lot of people discovering the fleetwood mac of the early 70's. That's what made me discover Kirwan and Welch.
@carolinewoodward1016 I went to see Fleetwood Mac in 1973 thinking I would see Danny Kirwan. Sadly he had left and I didn't know. They were playing mainly Penguin. The concert hall, more used to classical music,was practically empty. Missed them in 1969, Peter Green,at Fillmore West, because my buddy who had a car didn't want to go. Still their music lives on and I still love it
"Future Games" at 8:00. First heard this song walking by the campus radio station at Defiance College in the fall of 1971. Couldn't walk away until it finished. R.I.P. Bob Welch and Danny Kirwan.
danny kirwin era fleetwood mac definitivly shaped my music which i still write and perform on you tube. listen to ' strang strange fruit', totally kirwin!!❤
I saw this lineup of Fleetwood Mac along with Savoy Brown and Rory Gallagher on the same bill I think in 1972(might have been '71) on Boston Common and the Stones at Boston Garden in 1972.Amazing shows.
Really wonderful, , especially loved “Little Child of Mine” , , miss you Danny Kirwan , for me “Sunny Side of Heaven” outshines “Albatross”, , Yeah this recording reveals an excellent band pre Buckingham/Nicks 👍
And that's really saying something because "Albatross" is such a beautiful, wistful song. You're right-"Sunny Side of Heaven" absolutely is so excellent and maybe the finest instrumental ever written.
Thank you for posting this! I'm with a lot of people here who grew up with Fleetwood Mac prior to Lindsey and Stevie coming on board. Not putting them down, but my preference has always been the years previous to their arrival. This was the period of time when FM radio stations live broadcast concerts like KSAN did New Years '73 with the Allman Bros, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels et al. Close to 5 HOURS LIVE. After that the love of money brought it all down.
I was there, they were touring with Savoy Brown, each night they would switch who was the headliner, this night it was Savoy Brown they played cuts from Street Corner Talkin and Hellbound Train. It was my two favorite bands unforgettable show, thanks for sharing! The opener was Long John Baldry it was labeled "The British are Coming" tour. The tickets I recall were $3.75.
This is great! Absolutely love this Mac line up!! Live version of Future Games is outstanding and I’d never heard this recording of it before. Just wish there was some recorded live video too!!
This Was A long Time Ago ( Awesome ) I Was In My 20S Back Then ! Love Christine's Beautiful Voice And Every Song She's Written And Sung ❤️🙏 Now In My 70S ! Time Flies ! I Listen To Her And Fleetwood Mac Everyday ! Love Em 🏵️💐🌸🌼🍀🌺🇩🇪🇺🇸💙💚💛❤️🙏🙏💕💕💙💚💛❤️🙏🙏 Christine Will Live On Thru Her Beautiful Sweet Musik ! Christine Has A Beautiful Sweet Loving Legacy And Awesome Beautiful Sweet Life Lived ❤️❤️🙏🙏 Love Christine Anne Perfekt McVie Forever 💕🙏 God Bless All That Loved Her Too ❤️❤️🙏🙏
I was pretty close to the stage and I got to tell her how beautiful I thought she was, one night in CA when I saw them in concert...Just a few seconds before she started singing.... the band was silent...the crowd was silent...it was my MOMENT... to say what I wanted to say to her......and I spoke up .....loud and clear... I was so high...lol..... She looked up straight at me, smiled a cute little smile, , and blushed...Our eyes met...it was magical... it was LOVE..... The crowd was silent just for that magical moment... I was in LOVE with her........ and I let her know how beautiful she was........ I felt like saying that to her, partly because I had a feeling that the "new girl".... Stevie....... was kinda stealing away all the attention.... Stevie was GREAT singing her songs too.... with that great.... warm, honey voice of hers, and a dynamic , lovely stage presence... but , seriously, she just did not have the same pure crystal clear quality that Christine had.......... I just had to say something to Christine that she would remember.... I will never forget it....
I agree that Fleetwood Mac took a pop turn later but not exactly down the crapper. You make a good point though. I can still listen to Mystery to Me and love it, but the newer stuff sounds to polished and commercial by comparison. It happens to the best of them: Chicago, REO, etc. started out fresh and got pretty stale once they pursued the almighty dollar and a MOR sellout
I've amassed a large collection of FM bootlegs but I have to say that his is my favorite. I just love this era of the band so much and regret that I never saw them in concert although I lived in the New York area in '72 and attended many other concerts. I never saw Fleetwood Mac or Zeppelin or Deep Purple during 1972 although there were many opportunities. I just hadn't discovered them yet.
@@MackeyWilliams This show was broadcast on FM radio in the Seattle area. There is also an album called Preaching Blues taken from a 1971 show in Vancouver featuring Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer on guitars.
Yes, my bad. Early on, vocals were kinda low in the mix so i thought it might be a high quality audience recording. I heard the DJs later. @richardo5951
Real Deal Fleetwood before they succumbed to the commercial shlock of Buckingham/Nicks. Thanks for posting this wonderful example from the days when they were great. R.I.P. with love to Christine. Nicks couldn’t hold a candle to you and your uniquely beautiful voice and songwriting talent.
Saw this band in early 1972 when I was junior in high school - great band that did great albums and is largely overlooked... that's too bad. This is evidence of how flipping good they were live!
Great live early Seventies sound right off the stage.FM then, was a lot like Delaney & Bonnie with EC. From 1965-1975 gave us some of the he most creative and sonically music of A Thousand Years Fleetwood Mac was right up there. Saw them in these days. Magical performances in Santa Barbara and UCSB area. Peter Frampton was amazing. Steve Miller too. UN real cool Steve Miller. Greatful Dead, and Ron Wood and Rod Stewart . Santana too. 1970-74. Rory Gallagher. Loggins & Messina. BB King. Jefferson Starship. Jeff Beck. Lowell George/ Little Feat. Doobie Brothers. David Lindley. Jackson Browne. Gregg Allman Tour 1974. Joni Mitchell. Original Lynyrd Skynyrd. Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Dave Mason. Allman Brothers. Etc.❤ The early Seventies were fantastic vibes.
Much as I appreciate the Nicks/Buckingham era, this is my favorite configuration of the band (and Bare Trees is what I play most often :) -- *thanks!* for posting ❤
Just came across this...never heard it. This first song is just cookin! Amazing guitar work tops anything else from that period (and I was a radio dj at the time...).
Boomer pentatonics are only "top" guitar playing for demented geriatrics who sold out their country for weed and bj's. The world will not mourn your passing.
The Kiln House/Future Games/Bare Trees versions of FM were my personal favorites, largely because of Danny Kirwan's guitar creativity and songwriting abilities.
What a Golden Treasure This find Is ! Wow ! Thank You For Sharing This ! Danny Kirwan Rocks ! This Whole Band Line Up Deserves More Credit ! Excellent ! Bob Welch ! Damn .
This was really fun to listen to...thanks my vary first concert was at the Paramount Theater in Seatle...I saw the Doobie Brothers. I have said it before and I will say it again, there is just no way to discribe what it was like to be young during this time period. It was magic.
Love this band. Danny's an inspiration to me, along with Peter. Thanks so much for posting this nice sounding concert. Danny was "let go" from the band in August of 72, quite unceremoniously. Funny how when Peter was with the band there were lots of smiles on these faces, now at this time all the smiles are gone.
Keep that little blond away!!! This is their BESTIST, I get such a kick out of Bob Welch actually leading the band during this time...THE GLASSES SAID GEEK!! But he had a certain sensibility ,
Christy was the quiet classical girl that only cared about how to improve the music , her voice got better and her looks got better also, I think I had a crush on her for years .
There's some great blues rock here with guitar interplay and a tight blues rock band, which is a different feel than a tight metal band or a tight prog rock band. Really smooth. I like this pre hit machine era of Mac. The radio era is just tough to stomach.
Danny had a parade of 50s Les Paul guitars '56 Gold Top .Two or more Custom Black Beauties, at least one Burst. Greenies one Burst is legendary. Why does no one know what happened to Danny's guitars? With the exception of the LP Custom he famously smashed in the Bathroom on a gig.
Welch explaining "Future Games" to the audience and saying it "was written high up in the mountains ... the mountains of your mind" and then cracking up because he probably just made that up on the spot.
Great sound for a bootleg, if that's what it is? Spare Me a Little Love sounds great and a sign of things to come in a few short years, but I love the Future Games/Bare Trees time best over all.
Bare Trees is a gem. Danny's work on the title track is amazing. The Mac version of Sentimental Lady is better than Bob's solo version. I think the vocal counterplay on the chorus between Bob and Christine makes it better.
Hey all, anyone know a link to a song called Fleetwood Mac from 1971. Have heard it but can´t find any trace of it. It´s a favourite with so satisfying harmonica riffs. Best regards / Jocke P
I think you mean their instrumental, called 'Fleetwood Mac'. It was recorded in the summer of 1967, but released on their LP 'The Original Fleetwood Mac' in 1971. RUclips has it. :-)

Danny kirwan was a beast.
But he was told / was careful not to sound too much like Peter.
@@davidcawrowl3865UTTER NONSENSE

This “gap period” in Fleetwood Mac’s history is my favorite. Future Games (the album and the song) !!!!👍👏
"The Wilderness Years"
If it were not for Bob Welch, the band would have likely submerged and never continued. He kept it going.@carolinewoodward1016
Future Games is one of my favourite tracks. Blistering playing at the end by Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch. Right up there with Peter Green
@carolinewoodward1016 I went to see Fleetwood Mac in 1973 thinking I would see Danny Kirwan. Sadly he had left and I didn't know. They were playing mainly Penguin. The concert hall, more used to classical music,was practically empty. Missed them in 1969, Peter Green,at Fillmore West, because my buddy who had a car didn't want to go.

I completely agree with you.
Bare Trees- such A GREAT album!
Yes! It is full of beauty and magic.
The song Dust is really haunting. Lyrics from a WW1 vet poet.
@@aalbi2781 didnot know that thx happy holidays
My fave Mac incarnation. Danny and Bob are otherworldly guitarists imvho.
3 CHORD DRUGGIES ARE ALWAYS SO ADORABLE. WHO NEEDS THAT FOURTH CHORD? YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All versions of Mac were great! What an amazing bidy of work!
FLEETWOOD MAC were a totally different band with monster guitarist Danny Kirwan in the band. Geesh.
3 CHORD DRUGGIES ARE SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was there during the Peter Green era as well .
I lost the tape years ago. THANK YOU
What a great addition Christie McVie was. She kept paying dividends for 50 years. RIP❤
This is fantastic, decent quality and the band is tight! Shame this incarnation couldn’t have lasted longer. The talent was blooming.
WOW - what a great tape. Fans of early 70s FMac will not be disappointed.
Look at Bob playing that double neck SG!
Jimmy Page special.
Stairway to Heaven- anyone!

Hear hear!!
danny kirwin era fleetwood mac definitivly shaped my music which i still write and perform on you tube.
listen to ' strang strange fruit', totally kirwin!!❤
Playing like a well oiled machine. Incredible!
If I could go back in time it would be to 1972, would see Fleetwood Mac and The Rolling Stones live, the best
Me too ! And Zeppelin and Deep Purple and Pink Floyd.
I saw this lineup of Fleetwood Mac along with Savoy Brown and Rory Gallagher on the same bill I think in 1972(might have been '71) on Boston Common and the Stones at Boston Garden in 1972.Amazing shows.
Blown away by this.. never heard of Danny Kirwin. A virtuoso for his day for sure.
Really wonderful, , especially loved “Little Child of Mine” , , miss you Danny Kirwan , for me “Sunny Side of Heaven” outshines “Albatross”, , Yeah this recording reveals an excellent band pre Buckingham/Nicks 👍
And that's really saying something because "Albatross" is such a beautiful, wistful song. You're right-"Sunny Side of Heaven" absolutely is so excellent and maybe the finest instrumental ever written.

I would add Kiln House to that list.

Say what? Look at their musical catalog. What a career of talent.
@@billpfeffer6954 I agree. They were great until the two Californians turned them into a pop band.
@mikebade5428 all I can say is,(Go your own way).
This is great, thx for posting! One of my favorite periods for FM, between Future Games and Bare Trees.
My favorite albums of theirs. So much better than the later commercial stuff.
FM deserves all their success. Danny Kirwan had such amazing tone.

Much better than the later iteration of Fleetwood Mac
You are so cool

Loved all incarnations of the Mac, esp.Then Play On, Oh Well, Hypnotized. Miss Peter, Danny, Bob Welch..
From now until the end this is my favourite live show
I was there, 19 yo, still trying to remember opening act, they
performed 2nd followed by headliner, (Savoy Brown)?

damn.. hoped it was a video! lol..
love a bit of Danny Kirwan though, thankyou for sharing this..

The guess who have a live album from the Paramount. It’s really quite good. I believe it was 1972 as well.
Never got to see this version of Mac, but the Future Games LP was my intro to the Band. Love this recording. Thanks for Posting it.

Tune up Bob.
Ladies, and gentlemen, the real Fleetwood Mac.
A lot better band before Stevie and Lyndsey 😮. They used to rock. Christie a better vocalist than the devil child Nicks.
It is so nice to hear Christine talk at the 29:00 mark before going into 'Spare Me A Little'. It was a glimpse of the 'new' Fleetwood Mac.
Holy Hell, this is hot fire!!! Thanks!!
They kill!
I was lucky to have seen these guys then.

Saw Savoy Brown @ Fillmore West, late 60s..
I attended this great show. There were two other bands playing that night, Savoy Brown and Long John Baldry....I think
Those were the days my friend.
Danny had a parade of 50s Les Paul guitars '56 Gold Top .Two or more Custom Black Beauties, at least one Burst. Greenies one Burst is legendary. Why does no one know what happened to Danny's guitars? With the exception of the LP Custom he famously smashed in the Bathroom on a gig.
Probably sold cheap for booze or drugs, sad truth.

''Future Games'' is a gorgeous album!. Stevie & Lindsey Who??
I concur 😊
Welch explaining "Future Games" to the audience and saying it "was written high up in the mountains ... the mountains of your mind" and then cracking up because he probably just made that up on the spot.
Perhaps my favorite lineup -- or if these five ever included Peter Green also would have been kick-ass of course. But I must Confess . ..
I was at that concert. Also on the bill was Peter Frsmpton. Both bands relatively obscure at that time.
Nope, Long John Baldry (without Reginald Dwight on piano) was the opening band, Fleetwood Mac, then Savoy Brown. "The British are Coming Tour"
Radio DJ & never 'herd' this? Where were u, far away?
This is a terrific live performance. I only wish the vocals were more up front .....
Great sound for a bootleg, if that's what it is? Spare Me a Little Love sounds great and a sign of things to come in a few short years, but I love the Future Games/Bare Trees time best over all.
Bare Trees is a gem. Danny's work on the title track is amazing. The Mac version of Sentimental Lady is better than Bob's solo version. I think the vocal counterplay on the chorus between Bob and Christine makes it better.
Recorded off the radio I think, although it might have been off the board
I only have ever owned 2 records, bare trees and future games and I still have them.
Future Games intro
Hey all, anyone know a link to a song called Fleetwood Mac from 1971. Have heard it but can´t find any trace of it.
It´s a favourite with so satisfying harmonica riffs.
Best regards / Jocke P
I think you mean their instrumental, called 'Fleetwood Mac'. It was recorded in the summer of 1967, but released on their LP 'The Original Fleetwood Mac' in 1971. RUclips has it. :-)
So good, before they went commercial. Yay! ----> Future Games.
It wasn't a conscious choice to "go commercial." Their songs developed a wider appeal, which resulted in more sales & got more airplay.
Oh well missed Peter
