1967
Monday, August 31, 2009
Peter Green, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood form Fleetwood Mac after leaving John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. The blues-based outfit is rounded out by Danny Kirwan, and Jeremy Spencer. It's a damn shame they went soft and turned into what we now know as 'Fleetwood Mac.' Whenever i end up talking music with someone and mention that i like Fleetwood Mac, it's always like "No seriously, they really were a great 60's blues band, honest.." Fun fact: Since they were founded in 1967, Fleetwood Mac has had more lineup changes while retaining the same name than any other rock and roll band. True story. http://rockandrolltoday.blogspot.com...green-mac.html |

Hehe... good work, Wouter.
I have to echo the blogger's sentiments - I don't know how many times I've had to explain that there are 2 Fleetwood Macs and I'm a fan of the first one. Most people don't know they started out as a blues band. I kind of like the Rumours edition, but it's a completely different band, of course. |

actually you missed one because #15 should probably be the dance tour...
Actually if I'm correct in this (and I may not be), what makes Fleetwood Mac unique is that they have had thirteen vocalists not just regular lineup changes (fourteen if you count "These Strange Times" and "Lizard People")... Last edited by chriskisn; 09-02-2009 at 07:31 PM.. |

#12: Fleetwood, J McVie, Burnette, Vito #13: Fleetwood, J McVie, C McVie, Burnette I really don't count these as actual variations on the band, since the band really wasn't an entity at that time. The band without girls only did a couple of shows as The Zoo, never Fleetwood Mac. Also, I find it hard to count one box set track as an offical variation. I mean, we could also state that this group, with Stevie, did Heart Of Stone, so would that also count as another line-up? Or, what about the Super Bowl band where it was #13 and Rick Vito? This is a weird period for the band, and I tend to lump it all together under #11, #11B, and #11C, mainly because there wasn't really an "official" line-up, and it was some variation on the Behind The Mask band. #14: Fleetwood, J McVie, Burnette, Bramlett, Mason #14B: Fleetwood, J McVie, Burnette, Bramlett, Mason, C McVie The Time band is something I doubt we'll ever agree on (even though there's more proof on my side that Christine, NOT Billy, was on board from the gitgo, such as pictures and quotes from that period of time, like these...) http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.ph...2&id=6543&c=18 Quote:
So, for me, there are 13 official variations on Fleetwood Mac. But, really, there are four distinct eras. 1) Fleetwood-McVie-Green-Spencer-Kirwan (through Kiln House) 2) Fleetwood-McVie-C.McVie-Welch (et. al.) 3) Fleetwood-McVie-C.McVie-Nicks-Buckingham 4) Fleetwood-McVie-C.McVie-Burnette (et. al.)

Also, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

I like this photo. I always thought Dave Mason looked like John McVie, (although strangely not in this photo) even B4 he joined FM and Bekka in this photo reminds me of 1975 Stevie, especially in the way she has her shirt tied up in the front. Christine looks so good at this point in time that she could even pass herself off as if this was taken in 1975.
