I don't know the source of the recording but it sound much more 'bootleg' than I was expecting.
However the quality of the sound recoding is very low-fi mono with so much background echo that no matter how one fiddles with the graphic equalizer it's quite hard to make out some of the lyrics. Read full reviewĪs an example of the earliest Fleetwood Mac incarnation (pre Danny Kirwin) this album does give a fair indication of how the band sounded performing live.As a result it serves its purpose. If you like their modern ('74-present) music, then i would suggest to stay with the albums that have stevie and lindsey or before them with chrissy. Regardless of the music/lyrics it is just the lack of recording quality that makes both of these CD's not worth it. This one could be listened to, but it is not really enjoyable. To my dismay it was the same track listing, a far clearer rendition one but still low quality by todays standards. You cannot here the music or lyrics properly, or at all at times. Put all that in mono with very poor recording equipment, say an old hand held mono tape deck with an automatic built-in mic. Think of a large pub, your at one end and the band at the other, round a corner, with a room full of noise and everything sounds like it's in an echo chamber. The Dream disc was scratched, but my God the sound quality was really crap. As i said i got this CD and another called "The Dream" at the same time. I was going retro and finding out how far i could go back and still like their work. I have collected Mac on vinyl then CD from "Rumours" time.
I got this CD as i love Mac's later stuff. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned This is certainly worth buying if you can get it for under £2, which should be very easy to do. The booklet in this version of the CD is not informative about this concert - it's just a brief history of the band right through to the 90s. The audience are too chatty and this is noticeable more on the slow tracks, though they give tremendous applause to the Peter Green sung tracks. I expect tracks 5 to 9 are just Green, Fleetwood and McVie, with Spencer not playing guitar at all. Jeremy Spencer sings and plays slide guitar (with Peter Green on rhythm guitar) for tracks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 10 and then Peter Green sings and plays wonderful guitar on tracks 5 to 9 inclusive. The guitars and drums seemed clearest to me, with the vocals and bass guitar ( I couldn't really hear the bass) lower in the mix. The sound quality isn't great but it's quite listenable if you like early Fleetwood Mac. Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac with Jeremy Spencer Live in London in 1968
