Description: Don't buy this from-the-vaults salvage project to hear a live version of "Songbird." Shrine '69 documents a 1969 performance by the storied 1968-1970 lineup led by guitarist Peter Green and featuring only two members of the outfit in its famous mid-'70s incarnation--bassist John McVie and drummer Mick Fleetwood. Green was Eric Clapton's successor in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and, like Clapton, he was a piercing B.B. King-influenced guitarist and agreeable vocalist. Early Mac boasted a three-guitar attack with Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan complementing the gifted Green. A live version of the English hit "Albatross" showcases the talent of the English blues band. On the other hand, the set ends with a bizarrely smutty cover of "Blue Suede Shoes" as Spencer bangs away at the piano and boasts about the size of his johnson. The rant is all the stranger considering that within two years he'd leave the band in midtour to join a religious cult. By then, Green had already quit and announced he was giving all his money away. Kirwan was fired in 1972, leaving Fleetwood and Mac to soldier on. And the rest, as they say, is history. --Steven Stolder

Portrait of the artist

The quality of this recording, while a bit weathered and lackluster in spots, does not overshadow the greatness of the performance.This was my first experience with Peter Green's Mac, and when I first heard this, I realized what all the fuss was about. This performance is at times, scary. Makes me wonder what might have been had the three ill-fated guitarists on this disc not lost their marbles. This disc is stronger than the Tea Party discs, although those are essential too.

The Best Of The Best Blues

I love .. This Cd .. Fleetwood Mac .." Shine 69' .. It .. shows .. Fleetwood Mac's roots .. deep .. in the blues & how Peter Green .. put it altogether .. in thoses early days .. of Bristh Rock .. just first rate blues .. to go ... Fleetwood Mac .. Thank You .. Peter Green .. from My Heart ..

Great concert but poor recording.

It's a shame this recording is of such poor quality because the band is really on. There is also a poor, very obvious cut in one of the first tracks...Green breaks into a solo where he wouldn't have. Just sloppy. Other than that the album is great. Peter is smoking as per his usual and the rest of the band is right on, but I really hate to crank this album because of the poor sound quality. Oh well...it still gets 4 stars in spite of it.
