This was 2 days before my 16th birthday. My friend and I came down from Washington. Danny Kirwan was my musical crush. We got invited to party with the band and my other friend with us from Long Beach had to be home. I have always regreted not ditching her and going! haha We got a money advance from my friends uncle to clean apartments the next day and snuck out to go to the concert, ditched him and the job. We had a run in with Long Beach police after the show and they were the worst cops Ive ever had to deal.with, locked us up in grown up jail for being under age, taunted and tortured us for fun. I loved this band. Played Kiln House, Future Games and Bare trees over and over. Danny was 22 here, playing that masterful. Good times! So glad to find this show.This old grandma still loves FM.

She Was Very Special ( Always Will Be Her FAN💕🙏)
Danny jumps right out with his deft tremolo and guitar riffs in "Tell Me". They had some sound problems with Christine's vocals, but the band sounds tight to me. I've always had an appreciation for how this band went through a lot of musical and personnel changes, but this period of their development from a blues band into rock psychedelia, and pop, was one of the most dynamic. This performance of Danny's song "Sunny Side of Heaven" (Bare Trees), and Welch's "Future Games" are examples of Fleetwood Mac's diversely unique sound.
ちょうどBare TreesがU.S.Repriseからreleaseされた時期で、"Fleetwoodmac the Complete Guide to their Music"では、1972年は前作Future Gamesのpromotingの年で、Deep PurpleやSavoy Brownの前座をして、U.S.やEuを回っていたそうです。すでにBare Trees からSunny side of Heaven(D.Kirwan),The Ghost(B.Welch),Homeward Bound(C.McvVe)などが演奏されています。D.Kirwan のことを書いている人がいますが、先の本のalbum Penguin のところで、このtour で D.Kiwan が飲酒が過ぎてほかのメンバーにもストレスがたまった。ついにはgigのあいだに自分のvintage Les Paul Customを壁にぶつけた、とあるので、Bare Trees （D.kirwan 5songs）での不調（Welch,C MacVieは hit）で、このツアーにうまくは入れなかった可能性があるかも。とにかく興味深い音源です。ありがとう。Thanks!
What a travesty that Bob Welch wasn't invited to their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They left out the man that carried them & kept them alive for years, after Green & Spencer flipped out, and before they added the girls Buckingham & Nicks!
Bob welch did not carry Fleetwood Mac nor keep them alive the principle guitarist, songwriter, arranger and at that point front man was Danny kirwan your ill informed. I agree he should have had his 5 mins of fame and been inducted but any guitarist could have been hired Danny was the key to Mac’s transition from blues/heavy rock to pop soft rock it’s well documented he was as good a player as green and an extremely underrated song writer.
@@Skelterz To me some of Bob Welch’s songs were not as strong as say Sentimental Lady or Future Games but the band needed him at the time and he filled a vital role for several albums. The fact that he was not inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was not fair. I never knew he was not blues oriented at the time.
@@Skelterz You're either delusional or a liar. Saw FM in 1972 and 1073, Danny was long gone off into a mental ward. Not only was Welch in charge on the stage he managed Fleetwood Mac, so quit making up stories, boy.
Great audio, was that Bob Welsh using a Wah pedal? I was a big fan of the Mac throughout the Peter Green years and don’t remember Danny Kirwan using one?
Does anyone find it strange that none of Danny Kirwan's lead vocals are included? Was he even with the band for this show? "Tell Me All The Things You Do" is a Kirwan song, but it appears that Christine is singing lead. I know he was fired in August of 1972 (according to Wikipedia), and replaced by Bob Weston - is it possible that Weston was playing at this show, and doing his best Kirwan imitation? Inquiring minds want to know.
I'm pretty sure it's Danny singing "Tell Me All The Things You Do". Compare it to this clip of the Seattle concert 2 months prior to this concert where his vocals are more prominent. ruclips.net/video/733GlSvigGs/видео.html
it’s Danny singing the opening song, not to mention that’s there’s clearly 2 guitars. Danny has the wah wah Gibson and Bob’s tone is cleaner - Telecaster
@carolinewoodward1016 Certainly not in San Diego; FM didn't play west of the Mississippi in August/September of 1972. I have the shows at Gaelic Park in the Bronx (Aug 31) and Commack, Long Island (Sept 2nd) and Danny's still there. The story I heard was that Danny had been drinking a bit and before a September show (I would guess the last two, in Greensboro NC) he got into an argument with Welch over tuning, stormed out on the gig, but chose not to go back to the hotel. Instead, he sat in the audience (Welch now suddenly having to play leads) and then came into the dressing room and gave the others a scathing critique, at which point Mick fired him. (This is all third-hand info, though. If someone has better details, please let me know.)
@carolinewoodward1016 Oh, wow. "Argument over tuning" was an undersell. Clifford Davis must have booked the group into the ground. Christine wrote "Homeward Bound" to complain about the touring schedule and that was before this. And Danny was just a kid when he had to step in for Peter. 16 when he was Peter's student, 18 when he joins the band, 20 when Peter leaves (although Jeremy Spencer tried to take the lead on "Kiln House"), still 20 when Jeremy wanders off into Hollywood with $84 in his pockets, 22 at the end. Rough ride. (The part where they lost the big British audience with Peter and were now spending a lot of time in America was probably disconcerting [pun?] as well.) I'll check the concert bills to see which shows were with Deep Purple (as opposed to Savoy Brown [Walker] and Long John Baldry [Weston]). I know the Gaelic Park show had FM in between Deep Purple and Elf (presumably this is where Ritchie Blackmore started thinking he'd rather work with Dio than with Ian Gillan), but Danny was still around after that. And I know that John had a lot of issues, too. Christine was always all "it was a mutual decision to end the marriage and we kept it quiet for the band's sake", but clearly John wasn't so thrilled about her sleeping with Martin Birch during the "Mystery to Me" sessions, and that's how you end up with John chasing her with a loaded gun a few years later. (Had to have been at least 1975, since Stevie was hiding in the closet with her.) And Bob Weston's excuse for boning Jenny Boyd Fleetwood sets new records for lameness. Not only does he try to blame the Zodiac, but later on he was claiming they were born on the exact same day, when it was actually a week apart. If he felt the need to sleep with someone born in November 1947, why not Hillary Clinton? Bill need never have known. Interesting about Janice and Danny. Do you think Jenny was interested in Danny as well? I know she wrote the lyrics for "The Purple Dancer" and part of another song, and I read Clifford Davis didn't want her in the band because he was a sexist and Christine was trouble enough…but perhaps he was worried about a full-time triangle forming if Jenny was with them all the time? Huh. Thanks for your posts!
This was at the good ole Fox Theater in Long Beach CA. As a 17 yr old fan of Fleetwood Mac at the time my two friends who went with me wouldn't have missed this concert for anything. There were two opening groups: Van Dyke Parks and McKendree Spring.
@@mreppen1 No, I`m 50. I know FM very well, especially Green era, but they were good too when Green left the bend. Bare trees and Future games are best albums for me.
@@dusanpogacar1399 ok, yes I’m a Bob Welch fan, he was actually a very talented guitar player. But the late 70s and 80s period is just pure garbage. In my opinion, only.
@@mreppen1 It was not so bad, music time was chanced in that time, but I thing they were good with Lindsey and Stevie but not like with Green,Kirwan, Welch and Weston. Big problem Kirwan and Welch era was they hadn't any hit and they were not popular in that time like were with Green and later. But for me they were the best in 71,72 even better like with Green.
I love this line up , wish I had seen them play live

🙏✌😎
you might have encountered the notorious Signal Hill patrol pigs, they got away with many murders for decades before being busted c1990.
Nasty Hitler cops.
What a story.😮
Tortured?
Bob Welsh completely tearin it up on Future Games.
Welch?
@@bradlyscotunes9156 specifically the outro..all those Wes Montgomery/jazzy licks are pure Bob Welch.
Maybe my favorite Mac song ever
Danny is the star of the show here👍😊❤️
Danny Kirwan was amazing
YES
🎉
So is the rhythm section!
Love Christine & Welch's vocals!
Danny was so grown in Peters Fleetwood Mac💚💚💚 , he is super ❣️
Danny's playing on "Sunny Side of Heaven" is glorious, and Christine's organ adds the perfect compliment.

I hear you, that's beautiful. I'm 67 now as well. Their music just as fresh and magical and inspiring ✨️ as ever. 🎉
Bless you- and Christine!
Yes, all good; less icons would suffice..
This is the best I've ever heard Danny play.
Great sound
They were a great blues band in the seventies prior to albatross.

This itiration of FM may just be my favorite rock band of all time. Shame they only got to record 18 songs before it was over. 😭
This IS Fleetwood Mac to me…with Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch…before the entire genre of the band became
“Relationship Rock” with Buckingham / Nicks.
California ruins most good things
LOVE that we all LOVE this
Love is a wonderful colour
Holy f***, are there any cds, bootleg or not of this version of Fleetwood Mac live ? They were on fire!
Two cds
@@Johnwgreen can you name them?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic ❤
Thanks

I couldn't agree more. Bob Welch lives in my own Rock and Roll Hall of fame.

He hated that sheet.
Is there any video of this era of FM? I wish someone would post it if there is.
I've been looking for ages and... Not much 😭
Great audio, was that Bob Welsh using a Wah pedal? I was a big fan of the Mac throughout the Peter Green years and don’t remember Danny Kirwan using one?
Danny's chant
sounds like peter green on oh well, is this with peter green and just mistaken labeled 1972 an is actually 1971 or 1970 before he left?
Peter returned briefly for a couple of shows
