5.0 out of 5 stars BOSTON TEA PARTY!, June 7, 2005

This review is from: Live in Boston 2 (Audio CD)

This Album, together with LIVE IN BOSTON VOL.1 and VOL.3, contains most of the tracks originally intended for release as a live album by Fleetwood Mac. This was one of a number of projects curtailed by the sudden departure from the band of Peter Green in April 1970. The recording was done at the Tea Party Club in Boston whilst the band was on it's second American tour in 1969.
Of particular interest in this set are the rock'n roll cuts ("Keep A Knocking" and "Jenny Jenny" on VOL.2, "Great Balls Of Fire" and "Tutti Frutti" on VOL.3) performed by 'Earl Vince & the Valiants' - a pseudonym for a gold lamé suited Mac fronted by Jeremy Spencer - and a tongue-in-cheek tribute to their rock forebears. Contrasted with this are the straight Chicago style blues that were the band's hallmark ("Madison Blues" and "Got To Move" on VOL.3, "Red Hot Mama" and "The Sun Is Shining" on VOL.2) highlighted by some of Peter Green's last and greatest songs ("Oh Well" and "Rattlesnake Shake" on VOL.2, "Green Manalishi" on VOL.1) with Fleetwood Mac. Highly recommended!

The Live in Boston 3 volulme set is a reissue that has been remastered from the original 8 track master tapes. I almost bought the original releases some years ago but passed up on it after reading about the poor sound quality. I'm glad I waited for this reissue because the sound quality is awesome. Volume II rattles and shakes! The version of Rattlesnake Shake on Volume II is better than on Volume I and that is saying a heck of a lot. Buy all 3 volumes and you'll be happy you did.
The guitar jamming is so fine .... the interplay between Kirwin and Green and the underated slide work of Jeremy Spencer on these live perfomamces makes it clear why Fleetwood Mac in the late 60s and early 70s were the best live performing band of this genre ... better than the Stones, the Who or anyone else playing electric blues based music. Buy them, take em home or put them on your car stereo, crank it up and boogie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh My God!, May 1, 2007

To say that Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac is an understated jewel in the blues/rock world is too dismissive. They have a raw energy that could only be matched by only a few, and I can't really even think of who they are. I got Then Play On when I was 15 in 79. I have replaced the album 3 or 4 times, and still listen to it at least once a month. It is a staple in my home, car, and ipod.

I have heard, but not owned Albatross, and somewhere have two Peter Green cassette tapes. I never heard them live. What a shallow existance I have lived. I just got Live in Boston 1 and 2 today (from Amazon) and can not beleive what I am hearing. Truely some of the greatest music I have ever heard.

If you know the early works of Fleetwood Mac or Peter Green, then this is the creme de la creme. Words can not describe how absorbing the music is. I am addicted to Jam Bands (the Dead, Garcia, moe., the cheese...) and see many similarities, but mellower and bluesier.

Buy it, listen to it, fall in love with the lost art of Fleetwood Mac / Peter green et al.
