Yeah, thanks for sharing.
Does anyone know why John McVie doesn't play bass in this band? Lee

Apparently, he did play in the band's beginning. Just recently, nickslive featured a Maui photographer's 2008 photo shoot of the MFBB's genesis: Mick, John, and Rick.
http://nickslive.blogspot.com/2010/0...ur-poster.html This is the photographer's blog where he recounted that photo shoot: http://tonynovak-clifford.blogspot.c...usic-news.html Mick has also teamed up with longtime friend and bassist of Fleetwood Mac, the legendary John McVie, and Rick Vito to form the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band. Though the lineup changes from time to time with Lenny Castellanos subbing for John on bass for some dates. MFBB played it's first date in St. Louis a month or so ago and have several more mainland gigs in the works. This band is resurrecting the ball busting blues tunes of early FM member and guitarist Peter Green, dusting of classics like "Oh Well', " Rattlesnake Shake" and other songs from the catalog of what many musicophiles consider to be the glory days of Fleetwood Mac. Rick V. is a Peter Green devotee and has that dirty guitar tone Peter was famous for down pat. I got to attend a couple of the band's rehearsals a few months ago and was blown away by both the sound and the material. There are a couple of shots above from tour poster shoots showing me working with the band (note that old Sinar P2 4x5 in one of the photos). Those "behind the scenes shoot" pics were taken by tour manager William (Bill) Pie (pronounced PeeAYY not Pi). Thanks for the pics, Bill. Look for the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band coming sometime to a theater near you. Also, look for another Fleetwood Mac tour (the whole band) sometime in the near future. Why did John leave? I would simply think he's not quite as much the roadshow warrior Mick is. The idea of extended MFBB tours might not have sounded quite as appealing as relaxing days and nights on his boat! Just my guess...... Besides, Lenny Castellanos is one hot ass-kickin' bassist -- IMHO. Last edited by OldTimer; 02-06-2010 at 09:35 PM.. |
