Danny was an underrated genius. Jeremy could mimic old Elmore James tunes note for note. That was great when they were an traditional blues band, but when they started getting all hippie creative, he got relegated to the maracas. When Pete quit and Jeremy lead the bad into the recording studio, what came out? Kiln House. So Jeremy had graduated from 30's blues to 50's Biddy Holly style rock. Then he disappeared, turned up in a cult with his head shaved.
This song captures perfectly the Elmore James inspired slide style of Jeremy Spencer and is an altogether lovely piece of fine blues music. Spencer's addition to The Mac was just another example of the pure musical genius of Peter Green. What a band this was at one time. Wow.
Without the latter incarnation FM would have been forgotten. They moved into the pop business and did some great and innovative records and sounds. Lindsey Buckingham is an incredible guitarist/singer too.
@@megazeko This is true, if Mick (with no shirt in this video!) John, and Christine didn't go to America and hire LB & Stevie, they would've been nobodies. RIP Peter Green.
I was too young to remember the early beginnings of Fleetwood Mac, but they were really great with Peter Green. It is amazing to see how much different they were in the beginning. They were solid as a blues band. Very much appreciated.
Love how this video shows how all three of these brilliant musicians played great leading roles, and then stepped back and let the others shine through.
Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer and later and Robert Welch never got enough credit! Jeremy flipped out about the same time as Peter Green so it was Danny and Bob Welch who held it together with some of their best songs like Future Games, Dust, Woman of a 1000 Dreams and more! Some of the best work I thought they ever did!
The Bob Welch years will always be my favorite version of this band. I like to say that Fleetwood Mac are 3 of my favorite bands because each version is just sooooooo good.
oh lord! I can't believe this exists. Jeremy Spencer is so great, yet so unknown. How great was this band. Even after Peter left---and I stone cold love Peter's music---this band was great, with Christine. Kiln House and Bare Trees. Saw them LIVE a dozen times. Great great memories.
I can’t believe that is the same man that died in 2020. There is a lot more to this man’s story than we know. I’m fascinated by him. We’ve had Clapton and Page shoved down our throats here in the USA all my life (I was born in 65’) and I’ve only recently come to learn of Peter? I didn’t even know he founded Fleetwood Mac until recently.
same here, I just recently found out after somehow I found the Eddie Boyd and his blues band album that FM was the hottest, make that the best, blues band in europe in the sixties.
I have that on vinyl along with near every record Fleetwood Mac ever did plus at least 5 that were non approved vinyls. A great one is the Vintage years. 😊
Hello again clitikyclak You may well be right about Peter's modesty. I don't know what the problem is or indeed how he is at present. All I know is I wish him well and I feel immense gratitude for the great pleasure his music has given me (both on record and 'live') from Out Of Reach (an eerily prohetic title) until Before The Beginning.
BB King once said that Peter was the only guitar player who over made him sweat. lol. Peter was a very soulful guitarist and singer. I love his vocals on this tune.
@@Baci302 Definitely. Peter is on the back to the left (from our perspective)... check around 0:54 when the camera zooms in. Danny Kirwan is on the far right (close-up around 2:16) with the purple t-shirt. Both gone now, unfortunately.
The band has always been Fleetwood Mac. On their first album the record company for some reason called them "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac". Green was angry about it and straightened them out. Any future references to Peter Green in the band name have been added by others to differentiate this version of the band from later versions. From Fleetwood hinself: " "We had been in a band called John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, John McVie, Peter Green and myself." The name Fleetwood Mac came about incidentally, in the middle of a recording session. They'd laid down an instrumental, their first unofficial track together, and the engineer asked, "What are we gonna put on the box?" "Peter goes, 'Call it Fleetwood Mac. John and Mick are playing on it,'" Fleetwood said. Green, a guitar god who'd replaced Eric Clapton in the Bluesbreakers, would write the band's first British hit, "Black Magic Woman." "He had no interest in being a solo creature," Fleetwood said of Green. "He called the band Fleetwood Mac for a reason." The first album was called "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac" which, Fleetwood said, made Green furious. "He was asked, they said, 'Why would you call the band Fleetwood Mac? Why did you?' He said, 'Well I pretty much felt that one day I would leave and I wanted Mick and John to have a band,'" Fleetwood said. " www.cbsnews.com/news/fleetwood-mac-mick-fleetwood-on-bands-origin-new-book/
@@dman7322 Yeah, you've got me there. I remember seeing it or reading it but I can't provide a reference. So I could be spreading fake news. Don't think so though.
Yes clikityclak...good video footage about Peter G's Golden Era is hard to find. There is the biography I mentioned, but that too may be hard to find: I don't know if it's in print or not. Look out for the reprinted version of 'Strange Brew: Eric Clapton & The British Blues Boom', hopefully within the next two/three years according to the author who also says the revised version will have more about Peter G than at present. The existing version of 'Strange Brew' is definitely worth reading!
Yep they are French. Should have been Germany! The Germans love the Blues! I don't want this taken the wrong way. I thought I knew a lot about the Blues. The best experience I had was with a Bavarian hotel owner. We sat up to 4 in the morning while we discussed the merits of his huge Blues music collection. Kept half the Hotel awake! He would not let pay for drink all night. He was suprised that a guy from New Zealand loved the Blues soo much. Great Guy!
hey, that guy doing the cool guitar work and singing is not Peter Green, it is Jeremy Spencer, who left the group and has been serving the Lord Jesus for the last 40 years! God bless him!!
Anybody else notice that the recording is overdubbed onto the video? Jeremy Spencer backs away from the mic at 1:16 but his voice clearly carries. This is at least partially overdubbed audio. Good nonetheless.
+matheus s Lástima que tuvo breve existencia. Posteriomente a Then Play On (obra maestra 69/70 donde dejan atrás el blues ortodoxo inicial) se retira PGreen por razones que ignoro. Luego se va JSpencer por razones pseudo-religiosas. Y al poco tiempo despiden a DKirwan por problemas con el alcohol. DK (18 en 1968) tenía un estilo único, con un vibrato inconfundible. La etapa posterior Americana de FM es diferente. No puedo afirmar rotundamente inferior sino diferente, alejada por completo del blues/R&B.

Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan, never got enough credit for the early Mac sound. Both made a huge impact.
Really love Peter Green, but my favourites will always be Jeremy and Danny.
You are 100% correct. Spencer really had the blues slide guitar down.
Sadly true brother
Danny was an underrated genius.
Jeremy could mimic old Elmore James tunes note for note. That was great when they were an traditional blues band, but when they started getting all hippie creative, he got relegated to the maracas.

Einfach nur Geil
The Mac line up has been messed about with so much over the years. This was and still is the best.
the only fleetwood mac
Hands down!
By a country mile.
Yes I agree, as far as I am concerned once they introduced female singers and accordions
They lost it

+Mic Tod™ YES!!!
You got that right! This, brothers and sisters, is the REAL Fleetwood Mac!
Mic I dig Chicago slide guitar. There should be more of it.
Do you know the tuning used here?
Original by Homesick James, and not a bad cover
ua-cam.com/video/AmJieAcaeOE/v-deo.html
Original and best lineup! The real F. Mac!
Love Jeremy Spencer 's slide playing
Yes. Thank you.
Very nice yes, and the singing is also sincere and sensitive..
I prefer this Fleetwood Mac to the latter incarnation!
Without the latter incarnation FM would have been forgotten. They moved into the pop business and did some great and innovative records and sounds. Lindsey Buckingham is an incredible guitarist/singer too.
I agree, of course, because it was much more bluesy and...it was led by Peter Green.
Of course.
megazeko FM forgotten, I hardly think so
@@megazeko This is true, if Mick (with no shirt in this video!) John, and Christine didn't go to America and hire LB & Stevie, they would've been nobodies. RIP Peter Green.
In 62 and still love these blues from Uk .
I was too young to remember the early beginnings of Fleetwood Mac, but they were really great with Peter Green. It is amazing to see how much different they were in the beginning. They were solid as a blues band. Very much appreciated.
I was 7 in 1968 with older siblings I grew up with music and still listen to all kinds.
I can't get enough of the Blues and we lost this wonderful, Peter Green, musician.
Love how this video shows how all three of these brilliant musicians played great leading roles, and then stepped back and let the others shine through.
Had to be one of the tastiest intros to a blues song I have ever heard!
Brett Brandstatt Official Channel Don’t forget to pay attention to the drummer. Down home, very nice.
One of the best guitar bands of all time. Its like guitar heaven
That’s some fabulous slide guitar work
It don't get no better than this! A grooving Fleetwood Mac tune and an equally groovin' Vulcan chick....damn, baby, 'Live Long and Prosper!'.
All those chicks will be hitting 70 by now
One of the best groups of all time.
What Band ever had 3 leads as good as this, ......."God is this heaven please"
Lynyrd Skynyrd. I love them both
Sweetly authentic. Incredible film quality for 1968 authenticity.
Incredible band, unique sound, magic years...
Ahhhhhh, real music :)
Really would have liked these three on guitar for at least another 10 yrs.
Nice thought !
Just stunningly brilliant.
The best line up they ever had. classic!!!.
An almost juvenile Mick without any facial hair. This footage is priceless!
Never get tired of listening to fm and this and other gems like this. Best blues one will ever hear. Thanks

Back in the days!! ♡_♡
Gibson Es-125T with a P90 is the ticket for slide. Amen
It's Gibson ES120T, with single coil pickup like in melody maker.
great to see this gems!! THANKS!!!!
Jeremy Spencer is so underrated he slips through the cracks of music history. Yeah defiantly not Peter Green on slide.
+Toni Paradise he is doing those sweet leads in the intro though. how many rad guitarists can one band have?
+Toni Paradise You are so damn right. Peter got him hired so he always appreciated Jeremy. Had to be the producers, etc. Glad you mentioned this.
+Toni Paradise Absolutely. This clip has inspired me to look up more of Jeremy's work.
david hollyfield I agree jeremy was underated im just realizin it was him singing lead and playing slide on Dr. Brown. Am i Right?
oh lord! I can't believe this exists. Jeremy Spencer is so great, yet so unknown. How great was this band. Even after Peter left---and I stone cold love Peter's music---this band was great, with Christine. Kiln House and Bare Trees. Saw them LIVE a dozen times. Great great memories.
@zsxd55 I think that Jeremy Spencer had a hell of a lot of talent on slide Guitar, wonderfull
Back in the day when even the "cool kids" in Paris danced to The Blues.
Happy Birthday, Jeremy Spencer!
Absolutely Adored this incredible human Being Greeny❤️plus miss you❤️

Thanks my friend for sharing , Love FM.
Hi clikityclak
I agree - what a shame that they didn't record it like that for their debut album. Peter was so great back then...
jeremy spencer great guitar slinger forever !!!
Love this video thanks for posting.
what a great pleasure to be there at these time
That guitar tone in the beginning....
It's so relaxing music.
It’s awesome music, but I can’t imagine trying to dance to it.
Wel, yer one in the metal dress is giving it socks😅
Jeremy Spencer really came to the fore on Kiln House-channeled Buddy Holly as he might have sounded ten or twelve years on.
I have that on vinyl along with near every record Fleetwood Mac ever did plus at least 5 that were non approved vinyls. A great one is the Vintage years. 😊
Jeremy Spencer on lead/slide guitar and vocals.
Let me quote Joni Mitchell: "The sweetest swinging music man..."
RIP Danny
Wow ..great dancing ..
fabulous song ☯️🌿☯️🌿
like it ! there are no more New Year's Eve parties like that anymore
lost gem ty for post
