if you play guitar..........2007-05-07

You'll love this. How old was Danny Kirwan when this was recorded? 20? Man he could shake those strings. Peter Green isn't bad either that tone! Those blues riffs he just tosses out--how did he do it? And his scary lyrics..Oh, and Jeremy Spencer's wicked slide playing. Three great guitarists. And the rhythm section, uh ,oh yeah Mick Fleetwood and John MacVeigh. One of the only "jam bands" that doesn't bore me to tears. Cheers!
Almost forgot...as Jeremy asks, if you believe in prayer, please pray that Danny comes back to us, or at least finds peace one day.

Great Live Album, but little disappointed.......2006-10-14

In Feb. 1970 the original Fleetwood Mac line up with Peter Green recorded three nights at the legendary Boston Tea Party. Vol. 1 serves up a generous 69 minutes of live music with a couple of extended jams (Rattlesnake Shake at 25 mins. and Green Manalishi at 12 mins.). I'm a huge fan of the blues and early Fleetwood Mac, but I have to say I was a little disappointed with the CD. While I think it is a great show, the recording catches the band at a point of tradition. Peter Green was starting to turn away from traditional blues and becoming more experimental pushing the Blues format in a new direction. That's fine and the music is great, but for folks looking for a live version of their original work this is not it. I much preferred English Rose and the album they did with Otis Spann. If I was to rate this as a prue blues album it would be only 3 stars. As a music fan that appreciates live music I give it 4 stars.

ONE OF THE GREATEST CONCERTS EVER RECORDED! PART 1 OF 3.......2006-05-18

I will be doing three reviews on the legendary three part masterpiece albums by Fleetwood Mac: Live At The Boston Tea Party Parts one, two and three released in 1998. The distributor of these three part albums is Snapper Music Inc. I will also be editing these three reviews from time to time so you the consumer will get the best accurate review possible. This review focuses on Live At The Boston Tea Party Part one. These live recordings is quite simply, Peter Green at his absolute BEST! Part one along with parts two and three of Live At the Boston Tea Party should definitely be voted as one of the GREATEST CONCERTS EVER RECORDED. If you REALLY want to hear three skillful guitarists harmonize beautifully together and REALLY ROCK OUT, then these are definitely the albums for you. Many rock fans are unaware that the legendary Fleetwood Mac were already legendary before the mega star lineup of the beautiful Stevie Nicks, the beautiful Christine McVie, the gracefully multi-talented Lindsey Buckingham and the combined multi-talented masterminds and co-founders Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Once upon a time in the 60's, there were three extremely talented guitarists in Fleetwood Mac. Their names are Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan and Peter Green. Out of these three legendary guitarists, only one would later be voted as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. That guitarist of course is the legendary Peter Green. Rock fans are also unaware that Peter Green wrote a song that would later be a signature trademark for another of rock's premiere guitarists: the song is "Black Magic Woman" by the great Santana. All three parts of Live At The Boston Tea Party highlight all three legendary shows recorded on February 5th, 6th and 7th, 1970. In Part one, all the songs are well performed but I will only review certain songs and not all eight. On part one of Live At The Boston Tea Party, Fleetwood Mac takes the stage and doesn't waste any time. The band begins with the legendary "Black Magic Woman". This live version sounds completely different from the version we are all accustomed to listening to by Santana. This version by Fleetwood Mac really rocks and explodes at the end. You have to listen to it to believe it. After "Black Magic Woman", Fleetwood Mac jumps right into the next song entitled "Jumping At Shadows". Part one's version of "Jumping At Shadows" (Unlike part three's version), is a little mellow but still kicks. The song "jumping At Shadows" is so haunting and disturbing that Peter Green pretty much pours out his very tormented soul through his blistering guitar playing. Peter Green's singing and guitar solo is absolutely breathtaking. Just imagine what Part three's version of "Jumping At Shadows" sounds like. Next, we jump down to the fifth song entitled "Rattlesnake Shake". "Rattlesnake Shake", another Peter Green composition (Co-writtened with Danny Kirwan), was also trademark song for the legendary Aerosmith. Part one's version of "Rattlesnake Shake" (Unlike part two's version), is also a little mellow but still ROCKING. "Rattlesnake Shake" (Like part two's version), clocks in at least around 25 minutes long and features some of the greatest guitar playing that you have ever heard. Next, we jump down to the haunting eighth and final song of part one entitled "The Green Manalishi". "The Green Manalishi", also a Peter Green composition, was also a trademark song for Judas Priest. "The Green Manalishi", as described in Peter Green's own words: is about his conversations with the devil concerning his battles over his tortured tormented soul and losing his frightening sanity. Listening to the lyrics of both songs "Jumping At Shadows" and "The Green Manalishi" closely, these songs truly define what would soon be the illness that would haunt and torment such artists as Peter Green and Brian Wilson to this day. The illness of course is called Auditorial Hallucinations. One of the most frightening symptoms of this evil illness is hearing voices or evil spirits haunting and tormenting you. You are probably asking yourself: What took so long for these three part albums to come out? Fleetwood Mac originally recorded these live shows in hopes of releasing the ultimate live album. However, the resignation of Peter Green from the original Fleetwood Mac lineup dashed and cancelled all hopes and the project was shelved indefinitely. There is no doubt that these three part live concerts would have been the ultimate live album and voted one of the greatest live albums ever recorded had it have been released as planned in 1970. Recordings of these breathtaking concerts were only available in "Bootleg" form with terrible sound quality throughout the 80's and 90's, but it wasn't until the late 90's that the original 8-track master tapes were finally found and digitally remastered with the HDCD recording technology process. In my opinion, TRUST ME, These three part "Live At The Boston Tea Party" albums are ALL WORTH EVERY PENNY! If you love the Blues and REAL Rock n' Roll, I DARE you to check these three parts out, you won't be sorry or disappointed. Thanks for your attention and reading my first of three parts of the "Live At The Boston Tea Party" reviews. I hope you read all of my reviews when time permits. Take care. J.L.

Superb.......2004-08-17

Superb live album. I could do without the Jeremy Spencer slide guitar and 50's imitations, but Peter Green is top notch. The Green Manalishi solo is some of the best blues guitar soloing I've heard. If you like blues guitar, you must give it a listen.

The Mac at it's improv. best..........2004-01-24

If you get this, get all the volumes. This will make you forget that little band from the '70s that sang Go Your Own Way, Rhiannon, and Don't Stop.

This is the original Mac, at its very best live.

Turn it up, and listen to the Mac blown your minds.

It is definately a Mac Attack!!!
