Fleetwood Mac blues band live - shake your money maker & heart beats like a hammer

[MrTheBrainbox]

Is this really live?... one would have to plug into the amps no?... However: I still enjoyed this clip immensely: Thanx for the post: EV Texas...

[pomposo11]

@eamonn1983 You are an idiot! First of all it's Elmore James, not Elroy, he was on the Jetsons. And second is that Jeremy Spencer is one of the best slide men that ever lived.

[pomposo11]

@hadriflo Your right about Green's Les Paul, but Jeremy Spencer is playing something else but it's not a Les Paul

[pomposo11]

@zippers2 I am thinking just the opposite, Jeremy's voice is perfect for blues because blues is never perfect, with him it comes from his heart

[TheoGallagher]

Probably the quietest version ever played. There not plugged in. 1:09

[tillyvictory]

This is one of the best recordings ever.

[fieldfullofthistles]

Can you imagine having Peter Green as your rhythm guitarist at a time when he was the best guitarist in the world?

[zippers2]

Not that great. Especially, as J spencer is on the vocals...He just doesn't have it, the soul is not there, PG is the best. Hard to believe that he didn't sing on this video. What are people thinking of??? god.

[sheddski]

wow this is even before danny kirwin??

[clikityclak]

Great to see ole Greeny was having fun

[yungsu100]

SECOND SONG IS LIGHTING HOPKINS TUNE

[Bombadil1992]

There's a reason why this video has no dislikes.

[SadLittleBunnyBabe]

thank you weeeee

[SadLittleBunnyBabe]

thank you...weeeeeeed



[Duxinflite]

but it's lip-synched.

[alcina5]

These recordings of Fleetwood Mac were done in 1968 for the Norwegian broadcasting Company (NRK). I remember the broadcast very well. At the time F.M. very on top of the world.Even more popular here in Scandinavia than the Beatles and Stones. Fleetwood Mac were" cool man"

[sheddski]

i have one thing too say these guys were on top of their game enough said??

[chadla1]

you are a genius

[chadla1]

does anyone know what guitar hes using here or on the actual recording

[Bluesblaster]

@chadla1 My guess is that he plays a six-string guitar

[lonesomejohnnie]

@chadla1 This was probably lip synced but having said that there are two diff guitars The singer is using a Les Paul or copy. The second guitarist looks like he has a Kingston or similar. Cheap ass japanese guitars with a wicked blues tone. I have one for slide. The one on Moneymaker looks like an LP. Gotta love that 60's pseudo psychedelic camera work!

[hadriflo]

@lonesomejohnnie

Well...Peter Green (the "second guitarist"as you call it

) plays a Gibson LesPaul; the one he gave later to Gary Moore; and Jeremy Spencer, ("the singer") another LesPaul.

[droldvinezin]

nothing much better. thanks, this is great.

[honkydudeman]

heed this ,,,peter green is doin skegness rock n blues festival in january ,,,oh yeahhhhhhhhhhh

[littlequeen64]

Deliciously nasty blues.......(smile)

[mytube543210]

my dad introduced me to the early days of fleetwoo mac. i love dad and i love your blues..grooving and shaking :P

[rogerstill71]

This from when Fleetwood Mac ROCKED

[suzesrc]

great!

[hemet92544]

look at Peter laughing, "I did acid last night, and gonna do it again tonight, too!"

[jt123egypte]

a disappointment! We better listen to the divine Elmore James instead of this kitsch!

[mycal64]

@jt123egypte it's simple, really. You just type 'Elmore James' instead of 'Fleetwwod Mac'. Duh.

[thewellsmcclane]

The real deal nitty gritty dirty british blues

[hemet92544]

Air Guitar, they are not plugged in, and all were back then. but cool anyway. who is on the left and singing, its not Danny, eh?

[NikDonaghy23]

@hemet92544

jeremy spencer :)

[fatabert77]

all u stupid ass shouldnt even be talking about fleetwood mac one of the greates blues band there is so fuck off keep your stupid comments

[psychkoala]

'Heart Like A Hammer' ?

They stole that from Buster Brown's 'Fannie Mae' ?

[Shim267]

I have mixed feelings about Jeremy Spencer. There are some songs he did that I really like but some of them I just can't even stand to listen to.

With that said I do really enjoy the two songs in this video.

[27john1]

You simply HAVE to tap your feet to this classic

[27john1]

If you dont at least tap your feet to this you have no feeling for music

[sundiga]

to eammonn 1983, reading your comment I've entered to your site and, watching your guitar playing (really poor for sure) you are not the best person to make oppinions about Mr. Spencer, who's slide work, is absolutely better that your poor skills. Blame you, sorry !

[IceCubeJohnson]

Got to love Jeremy's sweater

[eamonn1983]

This'll probably be an unpopular comment, but Spencer? Love his voice, but creatively, he was shite. All, ALL, he had to offer was literal covers of Elroy James. He couldn't write a tune to save his life and he could only play slide moderately well.

[anthonythirteen]

...and tell (very) rude jokes...

...and seemingly play centre forward for Man Utd and Norway????

... as well as appearing in The Lord of the Rings.

[arsenalca]

I agree, but I also hate his voice.

[electricnorseman]

The MAN'S name was Elmore James. A moron like you shouldn't be allowed to breathe his name

[electricnorseman]

That is for eammonn 1983

[Jenscool]

@electricnorseman You got that right!

[Jenscool]

@electricnorseman You got that right-LMAO!

[Jenscool]

@electricnorseman Right on bro!-LMAO.

[marynightshade]

Great stuff! Somebody on a Myspace forum was talking about them-I posted this and said it was the REAL Fleetwood Mac.

[JeffKnight]

Thank you so much for sharing.

[Oszych]

Viva Jeremy Spancer !

He's the MAN in this house today !

YEAH, shake your money maker . . .

[marynightshade]

Fantastic! I'd never heard much of thir REALLY old stuff. "Huh? Fleetwood Mac before Bob Welch? WTF?" I tried THAT once-"Who's Bob Welch?" Never mind, youngsters...

[crossroadss]

More of them please :-)

[YouFrickinStar]

This guys accent at the begonning is fuckin awesome, he sounds just like Ross Noble. I always thought Fleetwood Mac were a band not worth listening to much, where the fuck that attitude came from I don't know... Theeeeey're great!!

[stuckin1968]

His name is Alan Price, former keyboard player with The Animals, he's from the same area as Ross Noble.

[NikDonaghy23]

@stuckin1968

Newcastle man! best place in england apart from everywhere else...glad to call it home

[stuckin1968]

Nik.... I didnt realise I hadnt mentioned Newcastle in my reply, I should know better I only live down the road I'm from the same place as jeremy spencer.....too much drink

[NikDonaghy23]

:D  where abouts was Spencer from?

[stuckin1968]

Sunny Hartlepool..... by the sea!

[NikDonaghy23]

Ah, i play rugby there quite a bit.

I'm from Morpeth which is around 20mins from Toon

[cholotara]

thanks man!

[Jenscool]

1st time I saw them, I freaked that Jeremy had such a deep voice 4 such a little man!

[thekrell1956]

Guitars not plugged in but still gettin' it on an overhead mic? really? here is a clue.... it was very common for bands to walk on a TV stage and mouth words along with a record back in those days... Think this may be a record? or a magic mike? Good luck with the Easter Bunny guys...

[fritz1858]

Live? Naaaaah!

[neohip]

My parents used to point this type of thing out to me all the time in the '70s.

"Look they are not real musicians,they aren't even plugged in,they are miming!".

The truth is not the same as our modern Britney Spears reality.

In those days,the sound from the TV studios were so horrendous that most artists elected to mime.

So yes,you are correct, but I don't mind.

I treat them as a "Performance Video",and as such are more alive and entertaining than most that you get today.

[fritz1858]

That's true. I've been playing Blues guitar in bands since I was 12 (I'm now 56), I spent 11 years from 1968-79 working in the London (UK) music industry for music publishers and record companies, I had seen and done all I wanted to do (except play more) by the time punk came along and trashed things so I opted out.............. cont'.

[fritz1858]

Any footage of anyone, especially the early and best Fleetwood Mac, playing or miming is worth posting. Having attended many many recording sessions for disc, radio or TV, of various artists I got to see the good, the bad and the tired. I hated watching the miming session for TV but in some cases it had to be done, and back then bands weren't allowed to crank up their amps for Top Of The Pops.

[fritz1858]

And lets face it, back then would any band want to lug a truck load of Marshall stacks into a TV studio and set everything up and try to emulate a recording that was produced by a Technical Man in a scientists white work coat, and then get the London Philharmonic Orchestra or similar in as well to learn and play the strings arrangement? How expensive and time consuming would all that be? Hence, Bands turned up at the right time on the right day, mimed to the record, then got drunk in the bar!

[Bananaskunk]

where's his mic??

[sissycd28]

Boom Mic, over head

[Bananaskunk]

how does that work? they don't even have jacks in their guitars.. how does the mike pick up the sound of all that and still you can clearly hear the vocals?

[mangeldeth]

Awesome.

[onlyjoetee]

These little English boys really loved the blues,i mean they just really loved it,was very honest and true love and appreciation really,and it showed

[snackleforkofemir]

Wow!
