@Thetaloops From the same 'Mystery to Me' album, on the song 'Miles Away' Welch sings, "Don Juan goes up in a cloud of smoke..."

Btw, how about the bass rift on this song. Got me hypnotized, lol...........

I can't see the map that well, due the huge knockers, lol. Not that I'm complaining.

I love Christine and Stevie, but they didn't really advance musically much since the 1975 album when Buckingham/Nicks merged with 'Mac. Actually. C. McVie didn't really alter her songwriting style since 'Bare Trees' came out, in 1972. Not saying she's not one of the all time great pop-rock sing...

Nice video. If you ever edit it, you might want to show a scene of some steep ground, when the singer sings about 'this grade'. Instead, you show flat ground!!

Also, could you throw in some cute chicks flashing some teets and arse, lol.

What I think sets Green a notch above the rest is his wry sense of humor. It is not so apparent here, but on 'Rattlesnake Shake', as an example, you can get a glimpse of his comedic genius.

Remember the 1970's song by the Hollies called 'Long coll Woman in a Black Dress'? Fairly blatant ripoff of this Fleetwood Mac number, in my view.

Sounds a lot like some of Danny Kirwin's instrumentals................

@jdsasser78 It is a matter of personal preference, but I would rank the Fleetwood Mac singer songwriters as follows (from best to 2nd best, etc.) Green, Welch, Kirwin, Spencer, C. McViegh, B'ham Nicks, etc.

@JasonEmery9 Further to the above, wikipedia's writeup on the 'Blue Matter' lp says that they were adding some live tracks to the lp at the last minute, but that Chris Youlden had toncilites, and couldn't sing. L. Dave sings this one, 'louisiana blues', and perhaps others on that album.

"Ticket's bought, contract's signed;

it's too late to change my mind......"

sometimes it's difficult to get my stuff, so if I'm feeble don't get in a huff, lol

"Working on the land, instead of playing in bed"

"Now she's back in the country, getting fatter every day" lol

For some strange reason, Bob Weston, the lead guitarist on 'Penguin' and 'Mystery to Me', wasn't replaced after getting sacked. Therefore, you hear a lot of horns and other non-traditional accompaniment, from a 'rock' genre perspective. Especially on the title track and on 'She's Changing Me'.....

Is that electric piano towards the end of the song?

I really like that bass rift J. McVie is putting down there.................

Wish they had tones down the horns a little, but nice touch there as well, not withstanding.........

I like the Nicks-Buckingham era songs, but they didn't break much new ground, musically speaking. The Bob Welch era stuff, on the other hand, had some clever use of lyrics, use of horns, and for two albums in that era they had the brilliant guitar combo of Welch and Weston, but not on this album.

@itzikbasman1 You might want to listen to her song 'Last Call'. Very nice C & W song.

No doubt about it, Bob Welch and Bob Weston made a great guitar playing combo, with the former on lead guitar. The departure of Weston lead to Welch's departure. Too bad.

On the on the other hand, without a true lead guitarist for the album 'Heros are Hard to Find', Welch focused mainly on the...

"My poet days are over and I'm back to being me"

Great line.

I didn't know, until just now, that the Dead did this song. Best version of it I've ever heard.

@ShelldaleWay

Got any Penguin you could post?

@buzzbot I believe you are mistaken. Duncan only left the band for one album, Shady Grove, during that early period.

If you look at the Dead, they had huge long dry spells, following 'Europe in '72', and after 'Shakedown Street' in '78. Their top selling album was 'In the Dark', a 1987 rele...

I had a cassette tape called 'Yellow Man On Top'. Don't know what happened to it, but I remember it was some good listening.

I don't who is in this video, but Vicki Hackeman and Jackie Frantz were the two females in the lineup during the group's early years, prior to 1977.

Although the group had three no. 1 singles, including 'The Door is always OPen', my favorite by them was 'Queen of the Silver Dollar'.

Are you kiddin' me, lol? There was about a 2 or 3 stretch in the late 70's when Jim Ed and Helen ruled the country airwaves. Seemed to end rather abrubtly, unfortunately.

Were they an item, or just singing partners?

Must have been one of Bob Weston's last appearances with Mac. He was booted out of the band during the tour to promote 'Mystery to Me' for fooling 'round with Mick Fleetwood's beautiful wife, Jenny Boyd.

What a shame that Welch left the band. Starting with the song 'Miles Away' on the 'Mystery to Me' album, and continuing on 'Heros are Hard to Find' with this song and 'Bermuda Triangle', and others, Welch was starting to take the band in a very unique direction.

From a fame and fortune standp...

'Mac continued in this 'Hypnotized' direction a bit on the album that followed 'Mystery to Me', 'Heros are Hard to Find', specifically on the Welch penned song 'Bermuda Triangle'.

I had forgotten how much I liked this era of Fleetwood Mac. Too bad Welch left the group.

Odd, I had never heard this song before. Just now found it on you tube. I remember when I was a freshman in college, in 1972, and the first concert on campus that year was the Dead. I was already a big fan, but that really sealed the deal for me.

Nat wrote it, but Jim Ed Brown got the hit. Brown's another good country singer from the 1960's and 1970's. 'Pop a Top' was hit for Brown in 1967, before Nat's singing career really hit full stride, while he was still mainly in song writing more, I think.

Saw the Dead in concert quite a few times, but never saw them perform this one. One of my favorite Dead tunes.

I started playing acoustic guitar a few years ago, and bought a Dead song book. Most Dead songs are fairly easy, C,D, G chord combinations. This one is a bit more complicated.

Classic country. Love it. However, too many strange diseases floating around now to fool around without a 'plastic saddle', lmfao......
