For me, “Bare Trees” was maybe the definitive Fleetwood Mac album. It had boogie jams and breezy pop anthems.

“Danny’s Chant” has a similar groove to “Rattlesnake Shake,” while “Spare Me A Little” easily foreshadowed “Say You Love Me.”

I agree. This would have been THE lineup I would have wanted to see.

Ditto that! I would have loved to have seen this lineup and the Bare Trees tour for sure.

I love Bare Trees. I can listen to it without touching any tracks. Even Grey.

Any songs you have NOT heard on this box set?

“Stone” and “Good Things” (“Don’t Wait Too Long” notwithstanding) as well as the alternative mixes.

The FG disc is the one I’m looking most forward to. A never released and a lot of alternative takes. Given “Lay It All Down” from The Chain, which I prefer to the FG version, those could be pretty killer.

After that, I’m curious if the Record Plant set is going to sound Way better than what’s been circulated for decades.

As for BT, I made an alternative playlist version that was even better. The second side just flows a little more seamlessly.

The Ghost
Homeward Bound

Danny’s Chant intro -> Bare Trees
Sentimental Lady
Spare Me A Little

Yes, I'm hoping they cleaned the live disk up.

Where's Thoughts on a Grey Day?

In my dream version, the album was a gatefold and it was handwritten on the inside.
