Rare live track from 1975-Jumping At Shadows
 

Here's something rare. This is "Jumping At Shadows" from a 1975 Fleetwood Mac concert. This is an old Peter Green song, I believe written by Duster Bennett. Chris is on lead vocals & piano! This is an audience recording, but is of pretty good quality.

I have this tape somewhere around here. It's a great show. In retrospect, this was a very odd choice. Sure, it was a staple of that last part of Peter Green's tenure. But remember, the Boston Tea Party shows weren't released until 1984. At the time, that song was more obscure than, say, "Cool Water" is today.

haha the gyspy b side.... i forgot about that one

that was amazing!!!! wow any other recordings of this song w/ her

No. None that I know of. This is the only one.

Thank you for this. A real treat!

well then i bow gracefully to you for posting this... just like stevie did to christine when she got pissed about everywhere's back up vocals......

Well, Thanks so much! Christine is doing a great job at it! I've always loved this song and she's perfect for the job!. Although I always like lindsey's guitarwork- and I even like what he's trying here: a bluesguitarist he's clearly not...:laugh:

That is sooooo true...but he does rip the **** out of Station Man and Oh Well...:)

Oh, and a killer guitar part on "Get Like You Used to Be."

Yeah I love those too. I still can't follow ChiliD when he states that LB does a horrible Oh Well.:shrug:

But Christine is clearly the best bluesperformer in the BN-era, I wished she wrote more bluestype songs later on.

wow, that was amazing!! thank you mary anne!! anyone else hear that extremely long scream in the beginning? the same woman screams AGAIN when chris starts sto sing. she must have either been very excited or very intoxicated. :p

don't tell chili... but as much as i think LB is annoying.... i love his Oh Well.... it's amazing tempo and tightness

Yeah, I heard that too. I'm guessing that she was very drunk.:D

Could someone re-upload this? I've been looking everywhere for Chris' version of Jumpin'.

What was sick is they played "Frozen Love" on that set, too. The sound sucks, though.

Yeah, it's a tape recorder in someone's pocket.. lol

If someone could post it again I'd love it. From what I've heard it's a really great rendition!

Here you go...it's one of my favorites ( the song not the scream, lol)

Thanks a whole lot! :D

Thanks for posting this. I'd heard it before but didn't have it saved on my current computer.

Those two screams are no problem, but what bothers me is the nonstop chatter that someone (unfortunately near the recorder) thinks his concert going companion is going to find more interesting than the music. Why do people do this?? Pay good money for a concert ticket and then talk loudly while the music is playing instead of listening!!! Goes on my list of the worst behavior ever.

Thank you soooo much! It's great! And yeah the scream is a bit excessive :lol:

I can't help it if you people have the "bar of expectations" set so low. :shrug:

Buckingham's "Oh Well" has always been atrocious. :mad:

I'll have to admit, though, in retrospect...he kind of got the hang of it by '77-78...then he just f***ed it up on the Mirage tour in '82.

If you notice, I don't complain about their not playing it anymore...I'd rather they don't if Buckingham is in the band. I'll be happy just letting the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band carry the "Oh Well" torch; Rick Vito nails it everytime. :nod:

Actually, the only LB one that I like is on the 1980 live album. The rest are a bit sloppy.

:thumbsup: Very good, Grasshopper! I've taught you well. :lol:

Me? I just watch/listen to Christine shake the maracas on the BN-era Oh Well's. :lol:

Oh, I thought I saw you complaining about its omission before the second leg of the tour started this year.

We do go back a long ways... I was actually on Prodigy dial up in 1995 when I first ledged with Marty back in the day..

Her Maracas are killer sometimes..

It was only a token rant. My heart really wasn't into it. :lol:

You are getting soft in your later years.. ;)

"LATER YEARS"?!?!? :mad::eek::shocked::shrug::lol:

I resemble that remark!

Only because we spent the early years on this site. :thumbsup::eek::lol:

It's kind of sad that when we talk about FM things that happened 16 years ago, it feels as if it was TWO years ago. If the next 16 years goes by as fast as the last have, I'll be dead soon.

Oh well.

Michele

A cheery thought....:laugh: I guess one consolation is that it happens to us all... :angel:

It'll be 2029...just in time for the 50th Anniversary re-release of Tusk (on a 4GB Flash Drive...which will include the original album, bonus studio tracks (outtakes & demos), live tracks, & the Making Of Tusk documentary, with bonus scenes that were originally cut from the VHS). :shrug:

Well, the truth is, you're absolutely correct, but all of this will happen in 2027 for the anniversary of RUMOURS. :lol:

Michele

In 2027, they give you a pill and you can go to any show they've done. Then go backstage and ride in the limo.

I think this particular gig was an opening act gig for the Fleetwood Macs.

Deep Purple perhaps?

Doubt it. After Clifford Davies was given the boot as manager and a little bit later after Welch left, they definitely traveled in different circles. They stopped opening for the harder British rock bands & were opening for softer rock American acts like the Dave Mason Band (yes, I know Dave's British, but he'd moved to the States quite early in his solo career), Loggins & Messina, Steve Miller Band, etc. But, that didn't last long before they started consistently getting headlining gigs.
