Why would someone want to forget that Fleetwood Mac was THE greatest live rock band on the planet during the late winter/early spring of 1970? The "Live in Boston vols. (1-3)" document an officially sactioned live recording. The problem is Peter Green left the band at the worst possible time, and the tapes were shelved because any future FM band incarnation would play inferior to those tapes. That's why they didn't see the light of day until 1985 on LP boots. By then the Buckingham/Nicks version of FM was breaking up.
equally, fleetwood mac Blues Jam in Chicago features:
Like it this way
homework
talk with you
last night
watch out
sugar momma
when you squeeze me (i forgot the title)

none of those essential FM songs are on any studio album but most were in their live repitoire
and for the most part MR Wonderful is a live album in the studio
