----------- I like the current version of Fleetwood Mac quite a bit ... but the original band was a grossly unappreciated killer of a group.  Kiln House is one of the best albums ever made by any band.  To me, it even stands up when compared to the Beatles or Stones....

------------- Great interview.  I just wish there was someone these days who could play with the same sensitivity and passion that Peter Green (and Danny Kirwan to a slightly lesser degree) did for a few years in the late 60s.  They were expressing something so deep that even they couldn't keep it up for long.  Those early Fleetwood Mac recordings are very special indeed....

----------------- Good interview, I saw the original Fleetwood Mac play their first ever concert in Canada at the PNE Gardens back in the late sixties.  To say I was "blown away" is a definite understatement.  

I never missed the original band when they were in town, until the "new" Fleetwood Mac (Buckingham/Nicks) took the band in a whole different direction.  


     I still listen to portions of "Fleetwood Mac in Chicago" almost every day.  

Just listen to Peter Green's version of "I need your love so bad" (Little Willie John tune), to me the best rendition of the song ever.  Jeremy Spencer is one of the finest slide players of all time.  In my opinion, the best English blues band ever.  

I had the pleasure of meeting the band (including the new member Danny Kirwan) 

on their second visit to Vancouver, they were a blast.  I will absolutely get this "read" as my appreciation for this band never waned.  What a personal inspiration they have been for me all these many years.
