FLEETWOOD MAC - For some great rock 'n roll bands, change has been good

For some great rock 'n roll bands, change has been good | GJSentinel.com:

By Rock Cesario
Friday, April 2, 2010

Outside of the Allman Brothers, I can’t think of any other band in rock ‘n’ roll that has gone through as many changes both in style and personnel over the years than Fleetwood Mac.

They formed in 1967 with Peter Green on guitar and vocals, Jeremy Spencer on guitar and vocals, John McVie on bass guitar and Mick Fleetwood on drums. They got together after Green, McVie and Fleetwood played with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers.

The band signed with Blue Horizon and released “Fleetwood Mac” the following year, an enormous hit in the United Kingdom, spending more than a year in the Top 10 but virtually ignored in America.

In 1968, the band added guitarist Danny Kirwan and in 1969 they recorded and released “Fleetwood Mac in Chicago” with numerous bluesmen, including Willie Dixon, Buddy Guy and Otis Spann.

Fleetwood Mac also released “English Rose” and “Then Play On” during 1969, with both being excellent records as the band was moving away from its blues roots.

Both of these are advertised as "with Mick Fleetwood" I'm not sure if that means he's touring with ZZ Top as their drummer, or if Mick is taking along the rest of the players in his blues band.

No official announcements yet that I can see from either ZZ Top or Mick Fleetwood.

RETURN OF THE MAC LEGEND

Return of the Mac legend:

AFTER several years out of the public eye, the legend that is Peter Green is back with a new band and a gig at Falmouth's Princess Pavilion on Friday, May 28.

Now seated centre stage, what is obvious is that the show revolves around him, and that he is in the company of notably simpatico musicians.

Peter Green and Friends is about the man himself enjoying the performance experience – this is not a Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac greatest hits band. Naturally, no Peter Green appearance would be complete without a few of his classic compositions, but now the focus is on fresh renditions of Peter's personal blues, R&B and soul favourites.

Tickets are 20 in advance from 01326 211222.

Steven Tyler | Christine McVie - Maui Feb, 2013

Christine supports
Trevor's Trek Foundation

Christine traveled to Maui in February, 2013 for a few weeks vacation, visiting with Mick, seeing John McVie and also playing live during one of Mick's appearances on the island. This was the first public live performance seen by anyone since leaving Fleetwood Mac back in 1998.  Visit these links to read all about it, see vids and view more photos.

Christine McVie Live - Maui Feb 13th.

Christine subsequently rehearsed with Fleetwood Mac in Los Angeles after her vacation with Mick.  During Mick's recent VIP Meet and Greets on the current 2013 Fleetwood Mac tour he has been indicating that she will likely appear at ONE of the London shows later this fall for a few songs... No word yet on which show, or what they will sing.  But he said she's feeling very inspired to create and play music.. not for Fleetwood Mac but for herself.  Who knows, we may end up getting more music from Ms. McVie!

CHRISTINE MCVIE - 2010
Not sure how old these photos are, looks fairly recent... As the article suggests the only time she ventures out is to walk her dogs.... And I see Christine hasn't lost her sense of humour... Check out what it says on her dog leash... If I'm reading that correctly, and I think I am... it says "One of us has no balls"

This is the photo of Christine that ran in the UK newspaper The Sunday Express on March 28, 2010 along with the article posted yesterday... Additional Images by Mike Gunnill
