FLEETWOOD MAC
Largo 1975 [no label, 1CD]
Live in Largo MD, September 1975. White Album Tour.

With mainstay Peter Green no longer with the band, Fleetwood Mac would go through a series of personnel changes (some might even call this a trademark of the band) but managed to weather out a transitional period that would end with the recruitment of guitarist Lindsay Buckingham. Buckingham agreed, on the condition that his musical partner and girlfriend, Stephanie “Stevie” Nicks, also become part of the band; Fleetwood agreed to this.

On July 11, 1975, Fleetwood Mac released another self-titled album, though this would be affectionately known as “The White Album” among the fans.

On tour to promote the new album, one would have thought the band would showcase all the new songs. Instead, only three new songs were featured in the set at Largo in September 1975 - Rhiannon, World Turning and Blue Letter. Overall, the show was almost like a greatest hits package, a mix of recent tracks such as Spare Me A Little Of Your Love, Station Man and Hypnotized to Peter Green-era tunes such as Oh Well and Green Manalishi. Though Lindsay Buckingham was no Peter Green, he easily satisfied the fans (check out the jam on I’m So Afraid). By then, Fleetwood Mac were no longer a blues band. They were already a pop-rock outfit.

This show is said to be a soundboard recording taken from a TV broadcast. With the exception of a bit of hiss, the overall sound is excellent.

1. Intro
2. Get Like You Used To Be
3. Station Man
4. Spare Me A Little Of Your Love
5. Rhiannon
6. Why
7. I’m So Afraid
8. Oh Well
9. Green Manalishi
10. World Turning / Mick’s Drum Solo
11. Blue Letter
12. Hypnotized (fades early)

Those plus I'm So Afraid. Four total, at least given what's on tape.

Who says that? I've heard no one but you say that.

10. World Turning / Mick’s Drum Solo
Why does the drum solo bizarrely & routinely get its own credit in so many set lists? It's just World Turning. It's not World Turning / Mick's Drum Solo. Do you say Go Your Own Way / Lindsey's Guitar Solo? Or Don't Stop / Christine's Piano Solo?

Thanks for the link, Livia. The above is directed at the site owner.
