this one for Jeremy....

[SteveMacD]

Jeremy, the word "Trinity" never appears in the song. The chorus is "Oh on his way, he had to go. Oh on his way." It sounds like you slide.

As for the 1969 boot, that's likely a 1971 boot from early in Bob Welch's tenure, as there is no slide. I have a show from Germany right around the time of Future Games.

How this masterpiece sat in the vaults until 1992 is a mystery. I was hesitant on the box, and a friend said to get it for that song, the new Christine McVie songs, and some of the Lindsey Mirage outtakes. Good call.

Now, if only they'd reissue Jeremy's "solo" album that was actually a Fleetwood Mac album.

Well assuming you mean the one from 1970, I have it on CD. Not sure if it was an official release though, but it says 2007 on the disc.

Hmmm...I always heard it as Chelsea, but okay.

I've always heard it as "He came down from Trinity......." but not having seen the lyrics it could be my subconscious hearing it because of the title! I did also think it was Jeremy playing slide. The sleevenotes of 'The Chain' just say it is an unreleased song from 1971 with no other info on the track. It does sound like Kirwan of the Kiln House era too.
Anyway, definitely one of my favourite Kirwan songs.

Well a quick copy of these from a lyrics site:

He came down from Trinity
a mid-town boy from home
In the dirt walking miles before
and dreaming of his thirst

Oh, on his way
he had to go
Oh, on his way
he had to go


He came down from Trinity
a mid-town boy from home
In the dirt walking miles before
and dreaming of his thirst

Oh, on his way
he had to go
Oh, on his way

The annoying thing about that Chain 2CD/boxset is the lack of session information. Who were the musician, where/when was it recorded.

Actually, thinking about it………..isn’t there a Fleetwood Mac sessionography book out there?? I’m sure I’ve seen one on Amazon. Surely that would give the details of who was involved?

I guess that'd be the Peter Lewry book but all it says for this song is what we know which is nothing, they lumped it in to the Bare Trees sessions but I don't know about that. Originally I thought it made sense since Danny seemed to get a little harder edge by then, more rough blues riff orientated like Child Of Mine, Danny's Chant etc. but it seems like it should be earlier than that for some reason, can't put my finger on it, hopefully we'll find out for certain someday though.
