Anyway, I've been listening to self title, Rumors, and Tusk repeatedly the past 2 years. Can anyone recommend the next step in Fleetwood fandom? I'm not a huge fan of live albums, but will venture in that direction if absolutely necessary, ie Johnny Cash.
Check out the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band. You will hear a lot of their earlier songs including "Black Magic Woman" which was an original Fleetwood Mac song.
I was living in the Bay Area in the 1960s and 70s. I enjoyed live music at the Carousel Ballroom/Fillmore West, Winterland, and the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, the Boat House in Sausalito, the Bodega in San Jose and many other places where good music was playing and I never heard of ABBA.
Neilspeed, Fleetwood Mac was not afraid to spend time in the recording studio to get perfection. Recording studios charge by the hour and it was understood Fleetwood Mac's last few albums were extremely expensive to record. It is no wonder the sound quality is good. Besides, they were recording in analogue with some great recording engineers. Engineering analogue is truly an art as is evidenced in your comparison with SACD.
Thanks for the link to The Plant. I remember Elvin Bishop from the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. When he went on his own he was a regular in San Francisco. One place where he played alot was just off Union St. called The Cock's Inn. He always drew a big crowd and there was no cover charge.
There was a lot of good entertainment back in those days.
