Christine's first Fleetwood Mac tour
 

36 years ago, Christine was on her first tour as a member of Fleetwood Mac. Here are a few tracks & an interview from this tour, probably the first week of the tour.

This is a fairly short, informal backstage interview with a fan after the 8/6/70 show in San Francisco. She has some pretty funny things to say about Stan Webb & Chicken Shack.

This is "I'd Rather Go Blind" from the 8/7/70 show, also in San Francisco.

This is "Spare Me A Little Of Your Love" also from the 8/7/70 show. This is a very early version of the song, with a much blusier arrangement than later on.

Mary Anne, The Spare Me link, is coming up as I'd Rather Go Blind, also.

Thanks!

Great stuff! Thanks Mary Anne!

Sounds as if she is playing a Rhodes on "Go Blind." Are there just two chords to that song? A & Bm7?

Oops.:o Sorry about that. It should be fixed now.

I'm not sure about the chords, but she is definitely playing the Rhodes Electric Piano. If you listen to the Kiln House bootlegs & the Madison Blues box set, you can hear that's all she played on that tour. There's no organ, grand piano...just the soft Rhodes piano. I love her keyboard playing on that tour.

How weird. I didn't know that. Why did she play the Rhodes & not the Hohner?

That I don't know. I don't have any pictures of her playing on that tour, but I always just assumed that it was the Rhodes piano because it was so soft. Here are a few pictures of her playing on the BBC just after the Kiln House tour ended.

Well, how weird. That's the Wurlitzer 120 in both of those. The mystery thickenS!!

mary ann will you repost these if they expire by the time i get home.. i'm in europe... home on 8/25/06... i am dying to hear them...

Tell him no, Mary Anne. He's jet-setting around the world, and still expects to be waited on hand and foot!
:mad: :mad: :mad:

Don't worry, I won't listen to Homer.;) I'll be happy to repost them if they're no longer there when you get back. They are due to expire on 8/26. Hurry back.:D

mary anne, thank you for these. i just got around to downloading them this afternoon.

that interview was hilarious. i love this part in the middle:

"do you know what i mean?"

"i don't know. i don't quite know what you mean."

"you don't know? ummm. . ."

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Thanks for posting these! They're awesome! :thumbsup:

My favorite part of that interview were the things she said about Stan Webb...that he was ugly & looked like a chicken.:laugh:

Mary Anne, you rock. These posts are great. I've heard the music ones and am still downloading the interview. Where do you come up with this stuff? :-)
