Fleetwood Mac - The Warehouse Tapes (2019)

STUNNING 1970 BROADCAST RECORDING FROM PETER GREEN S FLEETWOOD MAC Released in September 1969, Fleetwood Mac s third studio album, Then Play On, was their first to feature new recruit,19-year-old guitarist Danny Kirwan, and was their last with Peter Green. Some months following the record s release, Green was subjected to drinks spiked with LSD at a party in Germany, leading to his severe mental decline; after a final performance on 20 May 1970, Peter Green left Fleetwood Mac. The marvellous Mr. Green was, however, on hand and truly on form for the band s January 30, 1970 appearance at The Warehouse in New Orleans, where Messrs. Green, Kirwan, Fleetwood, Spencer and McVie played a stunning set as support to the Grateful Dead. Mac s complete performance was recorded for local broadcast too, and from this source comes this superb CD featuring one of Fleetwood Mac s finest available live recordings from this period, an era sadly destined to come to a close soon after this quite extraordinary gig.
