This is one of those songs you want to listen to in a swanky, dimly-lit lounge with velvet-upholstered seats, dark wood tables and large windows overlooking the city lights down below... tall flute of champagne (or a martini) in hand. Not enough O's in "smooth" for this one.
That transition era… pre-Buckingham/Nicks… was very interesting. Welch brought that chill… I loved Ebony Eyes as well… and his solo classic Sentimental Lady. Fleetwood Mac has been 3 very different bands. Chrissy McVie has an incredible way with backing vocals!
Nice to hear some Bob Welch led Fleetwood Mac, they had eras before Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham made then superstars that deserve some attention. From the album Bare Trees, try Homeward Bound with Christine McVie in one her best songs. Also the title track and Sentimental Lady are worth a listen. Lastly, they started doing incredible stuff in the Bluesbreakers in the 1960s in John Mayall's band, try So Many Roads from John, he had Peter Green on lead guitar before he helped found Fleetwood Mac. Great stuff, Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
You are so right! They really became 3 distinct bands as time went on. Changing band members (other than John McVie & Mick Fleetwood) wasn't just different voices, it was different directions.
I LOVE this song so so so much. So smooth so cool so mesmerizing. Brings back many memories of past friends lovers and family no longer with us. Just sit back and let this song take you to a dream like state enjoy the ride. Fleetwood Macs most underrated song.
Hey, I just realized you both are wearing headphones!! Everything sounds so much better to us now too. Great song with Bob Welch in the lead. The groove with the drums and bass is undeniable. 🎧🎧🔥✌️
Love this song. It's so chill. So relaxing. I imagine being on a road trip and your at that long part, in the middle of nowhere, little or no traffic and you're just cruising along. Or, just out on a drive on country roads (my favorite!).
Nope, having done that at least 20 times driving 18 wheelers coast-to-coast, the best way to partake of ths song is sitting on the hood of your car on the bow of an east bound Pudget Sound ferry as the sky turns from purplish-pink to peachy-orange over the Cascade Range in front of your eyes... Though your thought is right up near the top.
Love Fleetwood Mac - this is from their album Mystery To Me in 1973 and it’s such an underrated album, I think it’s one of their best: So glad you've chosen this.
"Mystery to Me" is one of my favorite albums of Fleetwood Mac. The early stuff just doesn't get the attention it deserves. Thanks for going where very few go and really should go.
Yep. This and "Miles Away" really showcase the lead guitar chops of Bob Weston. Yes, Weston! And I am also a fan of Bob Welch, but the lead on these was Weston.
love it - really like you guys. been looking for someone with the good taste in music to react to this song for a long time. I'll be checking out your videos! thumbs up
This is such a great song. One of the reasons they often sound different is because there were several incarnations of the band over the decades. I do like the Bob Welsh era, but my favorite was the original Peter Green era which you have not touched yet, I don't believe. Some of my favorites are: "Green Manalishi", "Oh Well", Black Magic Woman (studio is best), which is the original later covered by Santana. Peter was a great charismatic vocalist and is considered among the top guitarists. I prefer either of these eras to the Buckingham/Nicks era, personally.
Chod, the reason you hear so many different sounds/stylings from Fleetwood Mac is because there were basically 3 incarnations of the band - the Peter Green era of blues, the Bob Welsh-Danny Kirwan era which Hypnotized is from, and then the Stevie Nicks-Lindsay Buckingham era. I was lucky enough to see all 3 and they were all great, although my favorite was the Peter Green era.
I grew up with this band but this is an early incarnation of the band- I didn’t hear this song til a friend of mine introduced me to it.. and I was probably 24 or so years old- yet I was 6-7 yrs old when their biggest album Rumors came out. I was a huge fan from the mid-70s thru the 80s, but I didn’t come across this until the mid-90s. At one point I did own this disc. I do love this tune. I believe this singer passed away several years ago. Great tune.
I always get a chill when Bob Welch sings.." and something flies by the window".. Fleetwood Mac's amazing song about the mystical, and references "A Journey to Ixtlan.. The Lessons of Don Juan", by Carlos Castenada, who studied in Mexico with the shaman mystics, and Don Juan..
This song is a fan favourite for most FM fans. Reading the comments is very interesting as it seems everyone has a different favourite track from this FM period. Personally, I like this era of Fleetwood Mac the most because Christine was given more songs and allowed to shine, alongside Bob Welch of course. For the record, my favourite song is probably Albatross because it’s so timeless but I know that it’s from earlier on than this.
One of my favorite songs I like to drive to. The drums are very hypnotic. There's no fills. It's kind of a mix of extraterrestrial subject matter with bits of Carlos Castaneda writings.
"I feel like either you can have a dinner to this or go to the beach and just kind of like look at the ocean"...... 😁 Or maybe eat some shrooms or peyote and figure that out. The Teachings of Don Juan, A Yaqui Way of Knowledge.
Lifelong FWM fan here for over 50 years. My regret; never saw them perform live. The band has attracted multi-generational fans. There will never be another story like this..... from Peter Green and Danny Kirwan to Bob Welch and then on to the Lyndsey Buckingham and Steve Nicks era with some Christine & John McVie, and then some Mic Fleetwood holding it all down. Always felt Christine was the soul of the band in her quiet demeanor with Mic Fleetwood pulling the strings like a puppeteer in piecing this band together from the 60s and into the 70s.. I never grow tired of listening to this band........ NEVER! Favorite songs: Over My Head sung by the incomparable Christine McVie, Hypnotized sung by bob Welch, Silver Springs sung by Stvie Nicks & then Need Your Love performed by Peter Green. Must-listens: Everywhere, Dreams, Sara, Little Lies, Landslide, You Make Loving Fun, Albatross, Think About Me, and many, many, many more! Great reaction, TY.
I haven't heard this in years. I had forgotten about all the changes they went through over the years and the different flavors that the different members brought that have came and gone over time.
I am a fan of Fleetwood Mac prior to their explosion into superstardom with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Other songs I really like are Sands of Time, Heroes are Hard to Find, Come a Little Closer, the latter 2 being Christine McVie songs. Christine McVie wrote some of the huge hits during the popular era to come.
The drums on this song are absolutely hypnotic. Mick's playing was like a drum machine before drum machines. My favorite song of theirs of the entire catalog.
This was done before they went strictly commercial with nicks and buckenham when they had the great Bob Welch as their lead guitarist and lead singer when in my opinion they were great
THANK YOU.... Finally someone is reacting to older Fleetwood Mac stuff. This track was written and sung by Bob Welch. I loved the era that he was with Fleetwood Mac. ( 71 to 74) How 'bout that DRUM INTRO. If you liked this try "Sation Man".
Part of the reason their stuff is so diverse is that Fleetwood Mac 67-70 was a Blues Band with Peter Green, 70-75 was a pop rock (this song is from that middle era) jazzy combo with Dan Kirwan and the singer/guitarist here Bob Welch, and a full on commercial pop extravaganza 76-today with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.
Much of that "different sounds" thing that you've noticed, can be explained by the fact that they are actually 3 different bands over a number of years. This version of the band is my favorite, featuring Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch, along with Mick Fleetwood and John and Christine McVie.
The song is hypnotizing as you would expect from the song's title "Hypnotized". This is why it was hard to describe it, i.e., you were getting hypnotized by just listening to it.
Bob Welch went on to do a solo album called French Kiss... Every single song was a big hit. Very talented dude. You should check out Ebony Eyes of that album... Great reaction. Thank you.
Love this song (Bob Welch and Bob Weston doing guitar and vocals as well as Christine McVie). You guys should also get into the ORIGINAL Fleetwood Mac, the one I grew up listening to; with Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer and of course Mick Fleetwood on drums and John McVie on bass. They kicked ass! Mainly a blues band but did other original stuff like "Albatross", "Rattlesnake Shake", "Oh Well", "My Heart Beats Like a Hammer", "Although the Sun is Shining" and many others.
I grew up on this version of Fleetwood Mac. As a drummer you've got to love the power of this drummin theme! This is Fleetwood Mac before the mid-70's version with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham that fundamentally changed their sound from solid progressive rock to pop rock. I prefer the earlier real Fleetwood Mac. Check out "Bare Trees", "It's a Mystery to Me", and "Kiln House" and you'll understand what I mean.
That snazzy jazzy guitar, takes me away every time. Played this for my girlfriend and she said, wow, this guy has the most underrated sexy voice, shows you don't need to be on The Voice!
Your getting into the Best of Fleetwood Mac. Bob Welch was a Great lead singer and lead Guitarist. Try some with Peter Green 🍏. He really brought the Bluesy style to the Band. 🪴🌄✌️
You might want to react yo Bob Welch and his amazing songs, EBONY EYES and SENTIMENTAL LADY from his album French Kiss. His guitar playing and singing are the casual, intimate smoke that rises from your head after taking a deep breath and closing your eyes. Just relax and let yourself go. And after this came Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. Maybe you could visit Peter Green with Fleetwood Mac. OH, WELL and LAST NIGHT come to mind. Enjoy.
Fleetwood Mac has such a diverse discography that flowed through so many different combinations of musicians. Thanks for pointing out the Jazz in this one Chod!
You need to try out the Peter green Fleetwood Fleetwood Mac which is the original lineup the original lineup and play ...Oh well..... It's a banger..... Peter Green is a top 10 guitarist all time There are a number of incarnations of Fleetwood Mac and they're all very good
There were three versions of Fleetwood Mac. The Peter Green era in the 60's when they were a blues rock band, the post Peter Green era, and then the mid to late '70s Stevie Nicks Fleet Wood Mac. If you ever heard Black Magic Woman by Santana that is a cover of a Peter Green era Mac song. Also, one of their big hits back then was "Oh Well" ruclips.net/video/0yq-Fw7C26Y/видео.html
This is my favorite song from the Bob Welch era. You all still need to do the Peter Green and Danny Kirwan eras. Fleetwood Mac has had like four or five different lineups.
@@vicprovost2561 I mean it was originally Peter Green’s band, but he kind of gave it to them. You’re right though, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood deserve a lot of credit for putting together great lineups.
There were 2 Fleetwood Mac eras. The Peter Green era, and The Nicks/Buckingham era. Both eras had Mick Fleetwood and John McVie as constants, and co-founders of the Band going back to 1966 or 67. The original Band was a great Blues Band, with singer and guitarist supreme, Peter Green. There is a whole world of a Fleetwood Mac, that a lot of the younger folks have no idea of they're existence, and great music. The mid 70s came, and two Americans (Nicks and Buckingham) were asked to join when Mick Fleetwood saw them in a small Bar or Lounge doing their thing. You really should check out the original Fleetwood Mac Band.
Early Fleetwood Mac, before the Bob Welch period was off the hook. The great Peter Green was on guitar and wrote some great songs, Black Magic Woman, Oh Well, The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown), Albatross, Rattlesnake Shake are all superb. The Green years were heavy blues influenced and the band rocks it so hard you forget and forgive the Stevie Nicks period as good as it was.
@@sgt.blkdog3840 Yes, though the later solo was a top 10 hit for Welch. Though even his solo hit was Mac heavy. Lindsey arranged and produced it and he, Christine and Mick played on it with Lindsey and Christine doing background vocals.
Insightful review and reactions of Fleetwood Mac (pre-Nicks and Buckingham era)/For contrast, could you review their performance of Stevie Nick's son "Sisters of the Moon," and, if you watch the music video Sisters of the Moon (Hi-Fi) - Fleetwood Mac 1982 -Mirage Tour, you'll be treated to Stevie getting into such a trance she begins singing in tongues (at about 06:35)!😊
Try hearing the live version of I`ve got a mind to give up living when Peter Green was their lead guitarist and singer. Green was considered to be the best blues guitarist to come out of the U.K.
I loved Fleetwood Mac during this time. And this song is so other-worldly, so dream-like and so mellow. Love this track. Thanks.
This is one of those songs you want to listen to in a swanky, dimly-lit lounge with velvet-upholstered seats, dark wood tables and large windows overlooking the city lights down below... tall flute of champagne (or a martini) in hand.
Not enough O's in "smooth" for this one.
This is one of my absolute favorite Fleetwood Mac songs, and it was recorded before Stevie and Lindsey ever joined the band. It takes you there.
This was old Fleetwood Mac when Bob Welch was the lead singer and lead guitarist. Loved this incarnation of the group.
Me too it was my favorite especially the Bare Trees lp.
Totally agree with you on that album; I played the grooves off of it.
That transition era… pre-Buckingham/Nicks… was very interesting. Welch brought that chill… I loved Ebony Eyes as well… and his solo classic Sentimental Lady. Fleetwood Mac has been 3 very different bands.
Chrissy McVie has an incredible way with backing vocals!
Love all Mac sounds !
He wasn't lead singer. He was co-lead with Christine McVie.
Nice to hear some Bob Welch led Fleetwood Mac, they had eras before Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham made then superstars that deserve some attention. From the album Bare Trees, try Homeward Bound with Christine McVie in one her best songs. Also the title track and Sentimental Lady are worth a listen. Lastly, they started doing incredible stuff in the Bluesbreakers in the 1960s in John Mayall's band, try So Many Roads from John, he had Peter Green on lead guitar before he helped found Fleetwood Mac. Great stuff, Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

im glad to see you younger people appreciating what we older generation have known for years. keep up the good work.
Hey, I just realized you both are wearing headphones!! Everything sounds so much better to us now too. Great song with Bob Welch in the lead. The groove with the drums and bass is undeniable. 🎧🎧🔥✌️
Fleetwood Mac has ALWAYS had great guitarists in their mist. Love Christine’s harmony with Bob Welch.
I saw you younguns enjoying this on a real level. It made me feel so great. This goes back to the seventies This and Peter Green my favorite eras.
Love this song. It's so chill. So relaxing. I imagine being on a road trip and your at that long part, in the middle of nowhere, little or no traffic and you're just cruising along. Or, just out on a drive on country roads (my favorite!).

Like on the Beach in St. John . Virgin Islands. 🌅🪴🌴🍷🕊️
Exactly! Cruising cross country - anywhere in the middle of nowhere.
Straight desert road.
One of my all-time favorite songs. It just takes me on a journey...
Love Fleetwood Mac - this is from their album Mystery To Me in 1973 and it’s such an underrated album, I think it’s one of their best: So glad you've chosen this.
This album is the best pre- Stevie Nicks Fleetwood Mac. The whole album is amazing
I’ll take Bare Trees in a close race.
Yep. Great choice also. They went through great phases
Arguably the best iteration of Fleetwood Mac. The Bob Welch Era Fleetwood Mac produced excellent music. RIP Bob Welch....
I can't count the number of friends who hear this and remember the song, love the song, and then freak-out when they're told it's Fleetwood Mac.
"Mystery to Me" is one of my favorite albums of Fleetwood Mac. The early stuff just doesn't get the attention it deserves. Thanks for going where very few go and really should go.
Mine is Bare Trees. Off this one Christine’s song Keep On Going is underrated.
Yep. This and "Miles Away" really showcase the lead guitar chops of Bob Weston. Yes, Weston! And I am also a fan of Bob Welch, but the lead on these was Weston.
Got that right !!
love it - really like you guys. been looking for someone with the good taste in music to react to this song for a long time. I'll be checking out your videos! thumbs up

"Silky" is the word you might be looking for.

Nice catch
Bewitchingly Hypnotizing is the best way to describing this song.😊
One of those special songs that becomes part of your consciousness the first time you hear it and it stays with you forever
This is a song that would describe me being smitten by someone. Takes me to another realm. RIP Bob Welch
Oh Well is another really good song from the era of Fleetwood Mac
My very favorite song ever!!!
Mystery to Me is the album this is from. They were around long before Stevie
This song is a fan favourite for most FM fans. Reading the comments is very interesting as it seems everyone has a different favourite track from this FM period.

For the record, my favourite song is probably Albatross because it’s so timeless but I know that it’s from earlier on than this.
Ethan --- ABSOLUTELY ; Christine was a TOTALLY equal part of this FM line up . Her vibe is ALL OVER this track !!!!!🙋😏
You would like Dissatisfied, The City, Somebody, and Heroes Are Hard To Find. Great reaction.
One of my favorite songs I like to drive to. The drums are very hypnotic. There's no fills. It's kind of a mix of extraterrestrial subject matter with bits of Carlos Castaneda writings.

The Teachings of Don Juan, A Yaqui Way of Knowledge.
I Recall reading the whole series Then being inspired to partake.
Wonderful iteration of Fleetwood Mac...after the initial Blues based era of Peter Green et Al .
Definition of smooth .
The Bob Welch years are so over looked by the masses, great stuff....please do Future Games!
They actually started as a Blues band.
Great to see the earlier Fleetwood Mac. Like your adventure into Journey, there are many who prefer the older material before FM turned to Pop.
Bob Welch was a musical genius. RIP Bob.
Another Bob Welch/Fleetwood Mac song that is hippy-trippy like this is "Bermuda Triangle". I love Fleetwood Mac from this era.
Lifelong FWM fan here for over 50 years. My regret; never saw them perform live. The band has attracted multi-generational fans. There will never be another story like this..... from Peter Green and Danny Kirwan to Bob Welch and then on to the Lyndsey Buckingham and Steve Nicks era with some Christine & John McVie, and then some Mic Fleetwood holding it all down.

The 1973 iteration of Fleetwood Mac.
The crown jewel of the wilderness era with Bob Welch.
I am a fan of Fleetwood Mac prior to their explosion into superstardom with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Other songs I really like are Sands of Time, Heroes are Hard to Find, Come a Little Closer, the latter 2 being Christine McVie songs. Christine McVie wrote some of the huge hits during the popular era to come.
Don’t forget “Oh Well” 🤨
Fleetwood (Mick Fleetwood) and Mac (John McVie) are the backbone of the band since 1967 with many (3) groups of amazing artists over the years.
The drums on this song are absolutely hypnotic. Mick's playing was like a drum machine before drum machines. My favorite song of theirs of the entire catalog.
This was done before they went strictly commercial with nicks and buckenham when they had the great Bob Welch as their lead guitarist and lead singer when in my opinion they were great

from Peter Green to Bob Welch...this is a great tune for a sunny Sunday afternoon smoking a nice "J " and relaxing in the sun
This is before Buckingham and Nicks. Very different. One of my favorite songs on all time. Especially for the fall season. Dreamy, etherieal.
My favorite Fleetwood Mac albums had Bob Welch in the band... great singer and guitarist.
Part of the reason their stuff is so diverse is that Fleetwood Mac 67-70 was a Blues Band with Peter Green, 70-75 was a pop rock (this song is from that middle era) jazzy combo with Dan Kirwan and the singer/guitarist here Bob Welch, and a full on commercial pop extravaganza 76-today with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.

Wow it's like seeing an old friend
Music for the soul 😎✌️❤️
The song is hypnotizing as you would expect from the song's title "Hypnotized". This is why it was hard to describe it, i.e., you were getting hypnotized by just listening to it.
Love this song. Even the singer does a great job!
The real Fleetwood Mac and one of the best album covers of all time.
Favorite FM song of all time. Very underrated
Bob Welch went on to do a solo album called French Kiss... Every single song was a big hit. Very talented dude. You should check out Ebony Eyes of that album... Great reaction. Thank you.
What’s really amazing is Mick keeping that bass drum pedal floating like a butterfly! What a shin workout!!
You have just experienced the MYSTICIAN MUSICIAN, MR. BOB WELCH. HE IS ONE OF THE GREATS
Love this song (Bob Welch and Bob Weston doing guitar and vocals as well as Christine McVie). You guys should also get into the ORIGINAL Fleetwood Mac, the one I grew up listening to; with Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer and of course Mick Fleetwood on drums and John McVie on bass.

Don't forget Peter Green's original FM band. Quite a feel.
This has always been my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. Next, is "Oh Well" which is even older than this hit.
My 2nd favorite FM song is Jewel Eyed Judy.
IMHO, one of the most musically satisfying compositions ever written. I never get tired of listening to it.
An all time favorite!! 👍❤🤙
Bob Welsh gave them a really nice sound . I really liked his guitar work. Thanks for sharing.
Bob Welsh is the singer and guitar artist from 71 to 74 for Fleetwood Mac.
When this was first released and hit the airwaves in 1973, I was 18 years old.
That snazzy jazzy guitar, takes me away every time. Played this for my girlfriend and she said, wow, this guy has the most underrated sexy voice, shows you don't need to be on The Voice!
Long live Bob Welch.🤘😎
this song so "Pure" love it!!!!
Bob Welch on vocals before Nicks and Buckingham joined the band
Your getting into the Best of Fleetwood Mac. Bob Welch was a Great lead singer and lead Guitarist. Try some with Peter Green 🍏. He really brought the Bluesy style to the Band. 🪴🌄✌️
Fleetwood Mac was really 3 different bands. This was the 2nd incarnation. The Bob Welch era.
The word is ethereal
Excellent Choice!!!!!! One of my favorite F Mac tracks of all time, next to Peter Green era "Oh Well". The ambiaunce this song has is priceless!
Great comments to a great song !
You might want to react yo Bob Welch and his amazing songs, EBONY EYES and SENTIMENTAL LADY from his album French Kiss. His guitar playing and singing are the casual, intimate smoke that rises from your head after taking a deep breath and closing your eyes. Just relax and let yourself go. And after this came Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.
Maybe you could visit Peter Green with Fleetwood Mac. OH, WELL and LAST NIGHT come to mind. Enjoy.
Fleetwood Mac has such a diverse discography that flowed through so many different combinations of musicians. Thanks for pointing out the Jazz in this one Chod!
You need to try out the Peter green Fleetwood Fleetwood Mac which is the original lineup the original lineup and play ...Oh well..... It's a banger..... Peter Green is a top 10 guitarist all time There are a number of incarnations of Fleetwood Mac and they're all very good
Man I loved this song back in 70s still do!
brilliant prior to Buckingham and Nicks. Check out the Bare Trees album
Mick Fleetwood came up with the most wonderful flowing beat for this song
There were three versions of Fleetwood Mac. The Peter Green era in the 60's when they were a blues rock band, the post Peter Green era, and then the mid to late '70s Stevie Nicks Fleet Wood Mac. If you ever heard Black Magic Woman by Santana that is a cover of a Peter Green era Mac song. Also, one of their big hits back then was "Oh Well" ruclips.net/video/0yq-Fw7C26Y/видео.html
Great song to react to, Chod!!! That drum beat at the beginning is unmistakable!
The tune is mesmerizing.
love the rhythm of the song and the instruments very good song. Gives me an electric feeling in my arms and a Reminisce kind of feel.
I love this song ! Early rendition of Fleetwood Mac before Lyndsey and Stevie .
This is my favorite song from the Bob Welch era. You all still need to do the Peter Green and Danny Kirwan eras. Fleetwood Mac has had like four or five different lineups.
Mick Fleetwood and John McVie ARE Fleetwood Mac! Top 10 Rhythm Section in the history of rock and they go back to the 60s in John Mayall's blues band.
@@vicprovost2561 I mean it was originally Peter Green’s band, but he kind of gave it to them. You’re right though, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood deserve a lot of credit for putting together great lineups.
The Peter Green era is my favorite. An amazing performer, and great bluesy band.
@@cindyfalstrom7231 His stuff with John Mayall was incredible for the mid 60s.
This was before Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined FWM. This is the late Bob Welch as Lead singer.
The singer is Bob Welch back then and he's got a song out on his own called sentimental Lady I think you guys would really like that
There were 2 Fleetwood Mac eras. The Peter Green era, and The Nicks/Buckingham era. Both eras had Mick Fleetwood and John McVie as constants, and co-founders of the Band going back to 1966 or 67. The original Band was a great Blues Band, with singer and guitarist supreme, Peter Green. There is a whole world of a Fleetwood Mac, that a lot of the younger folks have no idea of they're existence, and great music. The mid 70s came, and two Americans (Nicks and Buckingham) were asked to join when Mick Fleetwood saw them in a small Bar or Lounge doing their thing. You really should check out the original Fleetwood Mac Band.
This is the Bob Welch Fleetwood Mac
I think another Bob Welch tune Bermuda Triangle creates a similar vibe to Hypnotized!
Early Fleetwood Mac, before the Bob Welch period was off the hook. The great Peter Green was on guitar and wrote some great songs, Black Magic Woman, Oh Well, The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown), Albatross, Rattlesnake Shake are all superb. The Green years were heavy blues influenced and the band rocks it so hard you forget and forgive the Stevie Nicks period as good as it was.
Next natural progession from here would be Hypnotized vocalist Bob Welch solo hit - Sentimental Lady.
Well, Fleetwood Mac also did Sentimental Lady
@@sgt.blkdog3840 Yes, though the later solo was a top 10 hit for Welch. Though even his solo hit was Mac heavy. Lindsey arranged and produced it and he, Christine and Mick played on it with Lindsey and Christine doing background vocals.
Fleet/Mac's original of 'Sentimental Lady is, I believe, better. He dropped a verse on his solo version.
Fantastic Mac song and sadly so unknown. (Obviously pre Buckingham/Nicks) Walsh era …
What band has a wider range of music and musicians? Trippy
Insightful review and reactions of Fleetwood Mac (pre-Nicks and Buckingham era)/For contrast, could you review their performance of Stevie Nick's son "Sisters of the Moon," and, if you watch the music video Sisters of the Moon (Hi-Fi) - Fleetwood Mac 1982 -Mirage Tour, you'll be treated to Stevie getting into such a trance she begins singing in tongues (at about 06:35)!😊
Try hearing the live version of I`ve got a mind to give up living when Peter Green was their lead guitarist and singer. Green was considered to be the best blues guitarist to come out of the U.K.
