DISCUSSION: Other Jeremy songs not already considered

What other Jeremy Spencer songs do you feel should be considered in Battle of the Songs? I'll do a mulitple choice poll with max of 10 possible choices, basically the same thing we did for Peter's other songs.

The whole "Jeremy Spencer" LP could be listed, since the band play along...

I guess "Look Down At My Woman" and "Who's Knocking" don't count... they were (at least originally) recorded during his days with the Levi Blues Set. I've read that the original backing was deleted.. can't remember if any overdubs were done by Fleetwood Mac.

Then, how about the Milton Schlitz show???

You are right. It was recorded the same time as ThenPlay On with the whole band, including Peter on Banjo

PS Iwould also vote for the Milton Schlitz show. I am sure John Mayall has mellowed about that parody by now. And besides , Alexis Koerner is deceased so he doesn't have a say in ut.

From Jeremy's solo album, "String-a-long" was Fleetwood Mac - the full line-up. The other songs were Mac without Peter.

I'd also go for "Allow Me One More Show" from the Original FM album, and he did a great version of "Mighty Cold" that came out on the Vaudeville Years set.

Well that's 10 songs, I'll put the poll up tonight, in case anyone else has a song to remove or add.

Well. I'd love to see Got To Move from the live performances (Tea Party e.g.) included.
Stunning how they extended the 12-bar blues to a once in a while 13-bar, where Jeremy was a big Elmore fan. Elmore did not do the extensions. Furthermore they changed the whole character of the song (made it more Jeremy?).
