Fleetwood Mac — Then and Now

I first heard of Fleetwood Mac back in in 1968. My friend Gerald Saxon and I had played with one group and another in the Beaumont area since we were in Jr. High school. We were currently going through a bit of a blues phase and Gerald had just bought a copy of an album by a new British blues band called "Fleetwood Mac."

If you've never heard the work of Fleetwood Mac from their original line-up, let me assure you, it was a completely different sound with, for the most part, completely different people.

Listen to Fleetwood Mac, Circa 1968.

In 1968, this was the line-up for Fleetwood Mac:

• Peter Green – vocals, guitar, harmonica
• Jeremy Spencer – vocals, slide guitar, piano
• John McVie – bass guitar
• Mick Fleetwood – drums
• Bob Brunning – bass guitar on "Long Grey Mare"

And this was how they sounded;
