this one for Jeremy....
 

One of the Fleetwood Mac's most obscure song is certainly "Trinity" (Danny Kirwan).

What can you say about that song, were you still in the band when it was written/recorded?

Cheers,

Mario.

Isn't Trinity an outtake from 'Future Games' in 1971?? So would've been recorded after Jeremy left.

I'm almost sure I've got a live tape from late 1969 which feature that song.....

Mario.

Really?? I'd be intrigued to hear that.

I think it's a great tune and was surprised that it never turned up on one of Danny's solo albums.

I love Trinity.

Would you be able to put it up here (as long as it's not commercially available)? I can't believe I've never heard of this song before.

It's on The Chain boxset and 2cd compilation. You could search around some blog sites and should be able to find to download.

Interesting! Do you have the date and place for that performance?

I must check up, but what I do remember now is that it was a gig in Germany.....

Mario.

Thing is, if it was from 1969 you would have expected it to have been included on 'Kiln House.' I'm still shocked it didnt make any album release until 'The Chain.' It is a very good track.

There were a handful of songs that never made it to an album from this era that were performed on stage. From Kirwan alone there's "One Sided Love", "Loving Kind", "Only You" (I think that was recorded after he left FM), and I'm probably missing another. "Trinity" has slide guitar early in the song, so it may have been recorded prior to 2/71. It's certainly edgier than any Future Games Kirwan penned song.

about Trinity...
 

never heard it or of it. Doesn't mean I wasn't in the band though when he recorded it. But if a live recording of it exists, then I most likely wasn't.

Jeremy.

Thanks Jeremy.

Bootleg tapes are too often mislabeled, I found the tape today, I played it and it is a 1969 show in Essen Germany, plus 2 more tracks - including "Trinity" from a later gig, possibly in 1971/1972.

Mario.

ps: if you want to hear the song, then it's available on the 4 cds boxet "The Chain":D

It's also on the 2CD edited down version of the boxset...............thats the version I have.
