[Too bad Rockwell didn't know that bass guitarist's name]

December 25, 1972 by John Rockwell

Talent Generated by Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac is a British blues-based rock band that has undergone some rather radical reshufflings of personnel since its founding in 1967. Of the current six members, only Mick Fleetwood, the drummer and the bass guitarist are originals. All the others are, more or less, new and one is an American.

They might legitimately be congratulated for sheer survival. But their performance Saturday evening at the Academy of Music proved that they have achieved more than that. Fleetwood Mac is not a band that impresses for its uniqueness of idiom. Its concerns are basic ones, confidently worked out within the within the context of British-American white blues rock. What is impressive is the charm and talent of the individual and music-making and the simple excitement and entertainment generated.

Nice to read. But I anticipated a longer, more informative article. This was just a tease, and I was hoping for more details!

Obviously John & Yoko weren't there with Elephant's Memory. Their album that they did on Apple Records was pretty good. (I thought they were a good choice of backing band for John & Yoko, too for their Sometime In New York City album.
