Fleetwood Mac Official Digital

Fleetwood Mac have announced an expanded reissue of their 1980 live album, Fleetwood Mac Live.

2CD Digipack including a 20 page book featuring new liner notes by Anthony Bozza in conjunction with Mick Fleetwood and live and behind the scenes photos from the concert and rehearsals.

After the trilogy opened with Rumours (1977) and Tusk (1979), Fleetwood Mac played Mirage at the famous Château d'Hérouville between 1981 and 1982, where Bowie, Iggy, Cat Stevens and a whole host of others also passed by. The acoustics there were compared to those in Abbey Road.

Here's another excellent Fleetwood Mac blues show.

Then Play On was Fleetwood Mac’s 1969 debut on Reprise. This expanded and remastered edition features the original U.K running order and track segues, with “One Sunny Day” and “Without You” making their first appearance on a CD issue of the album, as well as new liner notes by veteran rock journalist David Fricke and four bonus tracks, including the revered single “Oh Well – Pt. 1,” which boasts one of the great guitar riffs in rock history and has been covered by likes of Billy F Gibbons, Jimmy Page, and Tom Petty.

In the late 1960s, Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, John McVie, and Jeremy Spencer laid the foundation for what would become one of the most storied and successful bands in rock history, Fleetwood Mac.

Fleetwood Mac had existed for more than a dozen years before they issued their first authorized concert recording – sort of astonishing given their reputation as a fine live act going all the way back to 1967.

This album was the beginning of Fleetwood Mac's rise to 'household-name' status. With a slew of radio-friendly tunes, the group had finally struck gold. This album would set the stage for the next album, "Rumours". Fleetwood Mac was largely ignored in the U.K. at first, but the momentum had already been generated and it would not be long before their presence was known far and wide. In part due to the timeless resonance of classics like "Rhiannon", and "Landslide".

For all the slings and arrows retrospectively cast at the titans of '70s rock, the notion that these bands were somehow callow opportunists who'd sacrifice their authenticity and musical spirit to climb a few more slots on the chart is one that never applied to Fleetwood Mac.

"Bare Trees" is the sixth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in March 1972. This is their last album to feature Danny Kirwan, who was fired during the album's supporting tour. In the wake of the band's success in the mid-1970s, "Bare Trees" peaked at No. 70 and achieved Gold status in 1976 and certified platinum in 1988 for selling over a million copies.
