Record Plant Broadcast

[theginn]

I am currently trying to locate Fleetwood Mac Record Plant, Sausalito, Ca - 1974. I tried downloading on Dimeadozen, but the seeders ran out. Does anyone know where I can get this recording, also any others from the Bob Welch era?

That is great. Thanks. I will download this and give it a listen. Now I just have to find a copy in wave format so I burn a CD. I'm still old school. No MP3 player as yet.;)

This won't sound as good as the files from Dime. The site is down at the moment try asking for seeders when it's back up next time.

I use dBPoweramp Music converter. It works very fast, and supports all kind of musical file extensions, converting both ways. A very satisfactory tool.
It can be downloaded for free at:

The only problem with that Record Plant download is that "Bermuda Triangle" cuts off too early.

But, HERE'S (http://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=21KQM26YH6Y0K1JDOQTETCPY3K) the full version of the song (mp3)!

Some burn programs will create a normal CD straight from mp3s - I know Nero will.

That's not completely true, though:( . If you buy Nero it will. The copy you get for free when you buy a CD or DVD burner for your PC, it will only burn mp3's up to a certain amount of sessions. I seem to remember it stopped after I did 30 sessions. The dBPoweramp Converter was a true discovery for me.:thumbsup:

Hmmmm...that's odd. I'm still using the Nero that came with my DVD/CD-R(W) burner I got about this time last year. I must have burnt nearly (if not well over) 100 discs in that time frame. Like the Energizer Bunny, it's still going and going and going.:laugh:

There is a curious fact behind the radio introduction at the beginning of this classic Fleetwood Mac concert. Originally part of KMET’s Live At The Record Plant series in San Francisco, (which would later move over to KSAN-FM, in 1975), the show begins with legendary disc jockey B. Mitchell Reed introducing the group with: "Tonight we’re very happy to present Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Bob Welch, Doug Graves - in other words, the real Fleetwood Mac."

If it seems odd that they would be called “the real” Fleetwood Mac, it is because at the same time there was a group of imposters touring the U.S. as Fleetwood Mac, a result of a nasty legal dispute between the band and their former manager, Clifford Davis, who claimed he owned the name. The ex-manager decided to tour a group of musicians as Fleetwood Mac, in spite of legal sparing that continued between the real members and himself. In the end, the real members won the suit, and by then had moved to Southern California, where they had made the transition from hard-edged blues-rock band to a bona fide pop-rock band.

This recording represents the very end of the Bare Trees-era Fleetwood Mac. The band had formed in 1967 after the demise of the classic John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers band, which included drummer Mick Fleetwood, bassist John McVie, ex-Yardbirds/future-Cream guitarist Eric Clapton, and of course, Mayall. Fleetwood Mac evolved when Mick and John left the Bluesbreakers and joined up with guitarist Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer. The initial studio albums would yield many great songs, including the original version of “Black Magic Woman” and “Green Manalishi,” which would later become huge hits for Santana and Judas Priest, respectively. By the early 1970s, the band would add a keyboardist named Christine Perfect, who had been with the Spencer Davis Group and Chicken Shack.

By 1971, both Green and Spencer would decline into drug use and mental illness (Spencer joined a religious cult called the Children of God and was barely heard from after 1972); and Perfect was now Mrs. John McVie. Bob Welch jumped on board, and he, along with Danny Kirwin and Christine McVie, would take a greater role in shaping the music of the band. It was in 1972, with the release of Bare Trees (and the 1973 follow-up Mystery To Me – both on Warner Brothers Records), that Fleetwood Mac would lay the groundwork for the pop phenomenon they would soon become.

The group was unable to tour in 1974 because of the court case with Davies, but they did record Heroes Are Hard To Find, and this radio broadcast done to promote the album was one of the few live performances the band did that year. Shortly after this show was recorded for KMET, Bob Welch left Fleetwood Mac to form the short-lived trio Paris. This forced the band to re-group once again in 1975, when they decided to change musical gears completely and recruit a struggling pop duo named Buckingham-Nicks. And the rest, as they say, is rock ‘n’ roll history.

I think Wolfgang's Vault Summary writers are trying to create revisionist history...

This recording represents the very end of the Bare Trees-era Fleetwood Mac.

Uhhh...no. The Bare Trees-era ended in 1972. This recording represents the Heroes Are Hard To Find-era.

It was in 1972, with the release of Bare Trees (and the 1973 follow-up Mystery To Me...

Ummm...ignoring the Penguin album, are we?

...that Fleetwood Mac would lay the groundwork for the pop phenomenon they would soon become.

I think they did that as far back as Kiln House.

...By 1971, both Green and Spencer would decline into drug use and mental illness

Well, ok, maybe that could describe Peter at the time...but not Jeremy. I don't think "finding God" qualifies as "mental illness".

...along with Danny Kirwin...

K-I-R-W-A-N!!!


The group was unable to tour in 1974 ...

Well, that's not true, they DID tour in '74...from August to December.

Shortly after this show was recorded for KMET, Bob Welch left Fleetwood Mac

If you call 1/4 of a year "shortly", I guess so.

Whoever wrote the summary for this concert should be backhanded and horsewhipped.

^^ that's funny, because i'm pretty sure you occasionally get your facts wrong, too, and nobody says **** like that to you :shrug:

[chiliD]

So. What's your point? I post at places like this, not supposedly "professionally", where factual accuracies are assumed & expected.

[Johnny Stew]

So. What's your point? I post at places like this, not supposedly "professionally", where factual accuracies are assumed & expected.Besides, anyone who's been reading your posts for the past ten years... like I have... knows that YOU know your stuff when it comes to Fleetwood Mac! :thumbsup:

so every time you speak, i should assume it's wrong? what's the point of speaking then? :laugh:

[chiliD]

Assume what you want.

As Paul McCartney said in his song "Mrs. Vanderbilt"on the Band On The Run album, "What's the point of anything?"

[Neb-Maat-Re]

On a similar note, is there anywhere where it's possible to download the Ultransonic/Hempstead radio show from around the same time?

I've heard the Sausalito Record Plant previously but a section was cut out from "Future Games". Did this download have a complete "Future Games"?

No, it was the cut version but Steve Mac was kind enough to post the full version at the time (see Post #7) - long since expired.
