FLEETWOOD MAC‪ - Green Manalishi‬ (1974)

[Gooseberry51]

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes the vocals are very PG style as welll.. love Welches solo

[TheMichaelseymour]

good god ....vocally sounds like PETER GREEN !

[TheJosapappa1000]

i just liked it... i would love to learn play guitar like bob welch

[GhostsInMyAttic]

I never did know this existed, Then again I never looked for it but, It is amazing 4 original MAC musicians.

When Stevie and Lindsey came in it sure changed.

[MusicalTree3]

He does show a resemblance to Ned Flanders.

[cubsfands29]

bob's an ugly bastard but he's talented as hell and deserves to be in the rock n' roll hall of fame

[dragoonee]

man, I wish Bob Welch had put some of this performance into the songs on Heroes Are Hard To Find (which I consider the weakest of the pre Buckingham/Nicks albums)

[abitfla]

Metalnation is a womanhater, and he gives a bad name to us guys who like hard rock. The blues is the root of all rock.To consider blues renditionists bad is to hate yourselfMetalnation. Its obvious you do. Maybe its time to turn country...oh wait,thats blues based too. Poor sad Metalnation.

[BlackenedFifth]

@abitfla he's about 12 years old i'd wager - he'll grow up eventually...

[GhostsInMyAttic]

@abitfla The original Fleetwood Mac was heavily influenced by blues that is true but, Then again most of the great ones are.

[metalnation66688]

You all sound ridiculous, calling a song a revelation, ahahaha gently remove your tampon and speak like a human.

[metalnation66688]

Haaha fleetwood mac sucks, just had to listen to the original. Judas Priest does a way better version. Vocally the Judas version is far superior, but Rob Halford is better than 99.99% of all other vocalists out there, past and present. Its good though and I can't believe such an overrated band that sucks wrote a song this cool.

[Putaspellonyou]

@metalnation66688 taking it up the arse i guess does that for a singer...

[demikat1212]

Oh,my....had no idea..Judas Priest....not.  When I think of this song I think of Judas Priest, not Fleetwood Mac lol. Good find for me. Very cool.

[OrisLover]

Can anyone tell me who's in this line up?

[avlisk]

@OrisLover This is the Heroes Are Hard To Find line-up, just after (the now late) Bob Weston was fired.

[avlisk]

@OrisLover Except I don't know who the guy on keyboards is. Not an official member..

[Putaspellonyou]

@avlisk his name was doug graves. he filled out the group's sound on the road after weston had been booted. didn't stick around long.

[clikityclak]

Yes the soul of this song was stripped and became just another notch in the set list to play, no real understanding of it just lyrics, bass, drums. With Peter it was his fight with sanity and the never ending sorrow he was feeling about himself his fortune and his fame.. in my opinion only him and him alone truely CAN play this song.. but non the less this isnt a horrible cover, sure beats the hell of that judas priest thing.

[Bhaltazhar]

Happy Holidays

[jerryskid1]

When Fleetwood Mac was inducted into the RnR Hall of Fame, Bob Welch wasn't included. WTF?

[shakdathing]

It's eerie 'cause he almost sounds like Halford...Good version

[MusicalTree3]

Not menacing. Not dark. No sense of foreboding in this version.

[59stubbs]

This was just before the end of a good Fleetwood Mac. Everything after was commercial pork.

[robin7771]

Peter is the man, but IMO Bob does a very cool version of this song here. Of all the post-Green FM versions of Peter's songs, this is the best I've heard.

[tonbridgeman]

Sorry this just sounds like a cabaret version of this great song. Where's the soul?

[PhilK5100]

@tonbridgeman Well said - it's got none of the fire and drive of Peter's original.

It sounds like a working men's club band's version.

Ive heard better IN a working mens club.

[adjiduomo]

Yea, one of favorites.

[digitaldna23]

Go Bob !

Peter would be proud



[digitaldna23]

Go Bob !

[reissue]

BW FTW!

[Bhaltazhar]

Light Up!

[clikityclak]

Hmm just a song, cause with out Peter theres no spirituality to bring it to life..

[sepulthrax]

I still can't believe that JUDAS PRIEST of all bands made this sonf famous!

[PappyHab]

4 Piece...wtf?

[sadiewhisper]

@PappyHab

Actually, a five piece...Doug Graves shared keyboard duties with Christine McVie. You can see him to Welch's left on the stage.

[javelin1010]

Mac was so much better with Bob, Danny Kirwin and Peter Green. They also wrote and played Black Magic Woman.

[Alpha7xxx]

Where's Danny? :(

[The0ManJam]

Essential!

Bob Welch lead 'Mac is cookin'!

[seansigwalt]

then you guys should deaf-in-italy check out the live recording CD called bermuda triangle, Green Manalishi version there from Bob Welch is in my eyes a revelation and as such also a monument to Peter Green's spirit

[atman5150]

Wow! This is a really good version of the song. Bob Welch does it justice in my opinion.

[zoso8t0]

Yah, I agree Welch does it justice. I cringe when anyone other than Greenie performs this song. Welch though, keeps it's original vibe and spirit intact. Now, Buckingham and Nicks performing this song a year later, that is an injustice to the song.

[bruffie1]

@zoso8t0 Hate to say it, but Peter Greene didn't play lead on the original. it was Jeremy Spencer. Have to say, this version is weak and nowhere near dark enough!

[bobmango54]

Welch sings this very well
