Live at the Marquee, 1967

Performer: Fleetwood Mac
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: Recorded live at The Marquee Club, London, England. Fleetwood Mac: Peter Green (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Jeremy Spencer (vocals, guitar); Bob Brunning (bass); Mick Fleetwood (drums, percussion). Recorded live at the Marquee, London, England in 1967. Includes liner notes by Bob Brunning. Recorded in the same hall where fellow British blues act John Mayall recorded his own live record, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac's LIVE AT THE MARQUEE features 12 tunes that were standard in Fleetwood Mac's set at the time. Howlin' Wolf's driving "No Place To Go," Sonny Boy Williamson's "My Baby's Sweet"--which features some terrific slide guitar playing--and a rousing version of Robert Johnson's "Dust My Broom" (re-titled "Dust My Blues" on this recording) are all played with grit, passion, and energy. LIVE AT THE MARQUEE also includes three of Green's compositions, "Watch Out for Me Woman," "Looking for Somebody," and the slow-burning "Evil Woman Blues," which showcases Green an Jeremy Spencer's astounding guitar abilities. While Green and Spencer would eventually part ways, recordings such as this one should help re-establish the belief among the band's fans that, in their earlier years, Fleetwood Mac's dual guitar sound was as powerful as any white blues band--including the Rolling Stones of that same era. While the recording quality is solid but unremarkable, the performances on LIVE AT THE MARQUEE are first-rate.

Making endless shifts in personnel and style, Fleetwood Mac went from being one of the most original British blues bands of the 1960s--under the leadership of Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood--to becoming purveyors of a smooth, masterful L.A. pop aesthetic that conquered the American airwaves during the '70s. Their most successful album, 1977's RUMOURS--featuring the group's most well-known lineup of Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks--is one of the best-selling records of all time. Although never quite able to repeat that success, the band continued touring and recording off and on for the next three decades in various incarnations.
