Default Bob Welch-era compilation?

This doesn't exist, as far as I know. If it actually does, I'll be thrilled to bits, so someone please let me know!

Peter Green and Lindsey Buckingham era's both have arseloads of compilations. IMO the Bob Welch era produced some of the Mac's best ever stuff, but several of the albums were a bit choppy, so a compilation would be particularly useful for those who don't want to shell out for everything.

Anyway... I'm just rambling really ... But it'd be nice... Anyone of like mind? Or does he stand alone on this one?

There isnt one but you could always suggest a tracklisting for one. Obviously a sing disk cd so a max of 80 mins. That should cover the albums he was involved with.

Here's mine although it runs from Kiln House upto Heroes Are Hard To Find so not strictly a bob Welch era compilation, I felt the need to create a compilation that covers all bases between the Green and Buckingham/Nicks era's.

Not sure about who actually plays on Purple Dancer and Dragonfly but I feel they are able to be allowed to exist on this compilation.

1. Hypnotised
2. Woman Of 1000 Years
3. Morning Rain
4. Dragon Fly
5. Future Games
6. Earl Grey
7. Come A Little Bit Closer
8. Trinity
9. Tell Me All the Things You Do
10. Emerald Eyes
11. Sunny Side Of Heaven
12. Lay It All Down
13. Why
14. Purple Dancer
15. Show Me A Smile
16. Dust

My tracklist (starting with Future Games, since the Madison Blues set covers the Kiln House era band): (not sure of timing...but I think it's under 80 minutes)

Sunny Side Of Heaven
Future Games
Spare Me A Little Of Your Love
Sands Of Time
Sentimental Lady
Heroes Are Hard To Find
Woman Of 1000 Years
Revelation
Believe Me
Bermuda Triangle
Child Of Mine
Angel
Dissatisfied
Hypnotized

I make my own compilations with my favourite songs from each era.

I too would start with Future Games and end with Heroes. Here's my dream compilation. It's not perfect, and I'm inclined to change my mind about a number of my choices, but what the hell...

Woman of a Thousand Years
Remember Me
Sentimental Lady
Sometimes
Spare Me a Little
Child of Mine
Miles Away
Did You Ever Love Me
Prove Your love
Future Games
Hypnotized
Bad Loser
Bermuda Triangle
Believe Me (from Record Plant recording)
Trinity
Dust
Why

Except Christine's vocals on Morning Rain...

I am one of the biggest Christine fans known to man and think the piano and guitar work on the song are excellent. But, man, did she blow that vocal...The earlier version (called "Start Again") features a far better, more confident performance--but without as great piano and guitar work.

Yeah, her voice was rough back then, but I still love it.

I really am the only one who would add The Derelict in here aren't I?

I'm not a fan of the Danny & Christine stuff from this period, but Bob Welch did some fantastic stuff, he could almost have his own compilation.

Hello SteveMacD-- I believe I'm in agreement with you. Although I enjoy Christine's Welch-era music, her songwriting and singing both improved after Linds & Stevie joined the band. Still can't figure out if it's the songs themselves, or the arrangement and production values. But, you can certainly hear the difference, beginning with"Warm Ways" on the White Album. Don't get me wrong, there are some wonderful Christine songs pre-Rumours, but the majority of her best work is clearly during the Buckingham-Nicks time. Just my humble opinion, of course. Best always, Madelow.

I tend to like her voice rough on that song.... I liked the "underground circuit" piano and vocal sound they produced back then... it was more underground rock oriented than a pop vocal....

Just my 2 cents...

Just started reading this thread. But I had to jump in to say that you are SO RIGHT! It's one of my favorite albums of all time!

HUZZAH!!!!

I would sell my soul to the woman of a 1000 years AND the black magic woman to hear that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of, where are these Live recordings during the Welch era? Were they released on vinyl??
