Performance-wise, these tapes absolutely BURN - it's Peter Green and Danny Kirwan working dual guitar magic, with Mick Fleetwood cooking up a storm behind them (I should mention that John McVie is his ever-dependable self and, for the sake of completion, I need to record that Jeremy Spencer sings and plays afew songs!). Anyway, there's absolutely no need for further remixing, as far as I'm concerned - the most recent issue (2008?) was HDCD, so the only real reason to get this is to capture all three CDs in one easy package (to be fair, I think Vol 3 is out of print right now, too) Sound quality is very good to excellent - as has already been pointed out, the remixing of these tapes from fresh took place in the late 90's (I think the original Snapper records sets were compiled in 1998-99) and I suspect that the blurb relates to then. The booklet contains new sleevenotes and reworked artwork.Ĭlick to expand.Well, firstly they're Feb 1970, not 1969. The set is packaged in a round box with a 24 page book and 5 beer mats. This new set brings together all of these re-mastered recordings a 3CD set to present a complete document of these historic shows. The discovery of the original 8-track tapes and a number of previously unreleased tracks in the late 90s allowed the material to be re-mixed, re-mastered, and substantially overhauled for release on 3 separate CD volumes. Tracks from the shows were eventually released in various forms in the mid-80s but these releases were blighted by poor sound sources. Originally recorded at the Boston Tea Party venue over three nights in February 1970, for a planned release later the same year, these recordings were left in the can, unissued, following leader Peter Green's sudden decision to leave the band a few weeks after the dates. The set features the classic blues line-up of Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, John McVie and Jeremy Spencer. These dates will see the band playing sold-out shows to huge arena crowds and are sure to create another surge of interest in this much-loved band.īoston is a 3CD set which collects live recordings from an earlier era of the band's colourful history. Dates in North America are being followed by gigs around Europe, Australia and New Zealand. 3CD Set in round box remastered vintage live recordings of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac Earlier this year the current incarnation of Fleetwood Mac embarked on a massive world tour.
