Rather, ‘Boston’ is classic blues-rock, complete with extended 1950s’ boogie jams set against rock and roll styles. Listeners expecting an early variation of Fleetwood Mac or Tango in the Night will be solely disappointed, for the collection harbours none of the explosive angst that dominated their period of unprecedented global success. These are the recordings that were never released, owing to Peter Green’s rapid mental deterioration and decision to leave the band just a few months after recording the tracks. ‘Boston’, is a 3CD set which compiles live recordings from this earlier era, all taking place over three days in February 1970.
The emotional turmoil that would launch and derail in equal measure was yet to happen, and the all-male ensemble had an entirely different voice. Buckingham and Nicks were yet to arrive on the scene, and the band’s sound was classic, with a bluesy feel. New Year’s Eve 1974 saw the birth of the band that released the album Rumours an album that laid bare the raw, tumultuous emotions of heartbreak and that remains one of the biggest-selling albums of all time.īefore this though, there was a very different incarnation of Fleetwood Mac: Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, John McVie and Jeremy Spencer.
