Q - I read an article many years ago that left the impression on me that you drummed for the Curtis Brothers in the 70s. Is that right? If so, how long were you involved with them? Did you play a role in writing and bringing "Blue Letter" to Lindsey's (and Fleetwood Mac's) attention for inclusion on the 1975 Fleetwood Mac album?

A - Lesley, you sure know you`re stuff. Yes I played with the Curtis boys and by the way we recorded an album of some really good songs that never got released. And yes, LB did help out on some of those tracks. Actually LB was already friends of the Curtis Bros. before the Mac and introduced me to them.
Well, Les and David, thank you for your input. Sometimes i feel that since i signed in here i've been in Mac-kindergarden all of my life-before-the-ledge. Good times, but I always thought I was a mac-professor. Duh.

But now? I found my Masters

WOW!! These are Great!! I never thought we would be so lucky! I have one questions however... Are all four tracks from the same show? I thought they were but wanted to check. Did they come from two sources?

I was confused by the fact the post on a site ....
" If you want to know where they came from, go to FleetfootMike's Site, he was the first one to find these gems on the net.
Sorcerer comes from Jamie Cole's site.

A BIG THANK YOU TO Mike and Jamie!!!



Happy Birthday and Get Well Stevie!

for the Buckingham/Nicks Tuscaloosa, AL show (This is according to Gary Hodges Penguin Q&A from June 2000). I don't know if this is the exact set order but mighty interesting none-the-less:
Lola My Love
Rhiannon
Don't Let Me Down Again
Crystal
Lady From The Mountain
Frozen Love
Races Are Run
I Don't Wanna Know
Blue Letter
Hmmm. If the newly surfaced "Sorcerer" and "Django" come from the same show, as we've been told, this can't be the correct set list. Maybe Gary Hodges remembered wrong?

I wouldn't say that necessarily. Couldn't 'Lady From the Mountain' be Sorcerer, to which Django was little more than the intro in this live version?

Or have 'Lady' and 'Sorcerer' been two separate songs as far back as then? Even still, someone who didn't know better might have called Sorcerer 'Lady from the mountain' since the lyrics feature in the chorus.

It's been a while since I've read their respective Q&As, but I believe that, while Gary Hodges only referred to the song as "Lady From The Mountain," Bob Aguirre actually stated that the song they knew as "Lady From The Mountain" is "now called 'Sorcerer.'"

I think it's safe to assume that "Lady from the Mountain" is "Sorcerer." When the "Lady from the Mountain" demo first surfaced as an acetate, it was called "Lady from the Mountain Part Two."

I'm having problems downloading them: on Mari's site I get an angelfire error message on 3 out of the 4 songs (Sorcerer is fine)- and on Neil's site I just get a lot of text which I cannot save as an mp4 file on my mac (tried both Safari and Explorer). Any suggestions?

Rick

Try http://www.fleetfootmike.net/bn/ - they download fine to a Mac for me from there (I tweaked the server to make sure they do..)

I guess I exceeded my bandwidth or something like that. Works now.

A HUGE thankyou to whoever has put these out...they are really super and just go to show how wonderfully talented L&S were, long before FM got a hold of them!
Btw..I absolutely love "live" Lola, which is really weird because of all the BN songs on the LP, it's the one I hate the most...haha...anyone else feel the same?
