Rattlesnake shake, Searching for madge, underway, Fighting for madge that's the song.

@peonwarrior yep, the underway movement in the middle of the jam is magical.

This whole band was just in perfect musical sync - they were almost telepathic in the way they played off of each other...

[lisaeyles]

@9:20. Who was first to cross the road, the Fleetwood, or the Allman? This is recorded thirteen months before the 3/71 Allman Brothers concerts that became one of the best live rock albums of all time. Meanwhile this incredible concert material is never officially released to the public until after Lindsey Buckingham left FM in 1985. I hate to type it, but Peter Green's early exit 5/70 prevented a rock monster band. If the Boston Tea Party album was released in 1970, no "Rumours".

psychedelic blues at its very best right along with the live version of east-west by the Paul Butterfield BluesBand 5*****

Hey ... thanks for this one! Really nice to hear the jam after the song. By about 6:30 they really have the "railroad train" chugging along sound going. Like you don't want that to end. Also, what they have going is the two lead guitars, which was kind of a new thing at the time. Most bands were always a lead and a rhythm guitar, but Peter Green had enough confidence to bring in another guy to share the load and make it multi-layered. Guitar infused wonderfulness indeed!
