Danny Kirwan was the glue that stuck Fleetwood Mac together after Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer left. Without him, Kiln House, Bare Trees and Future Games would have been less than mediocre albums. I own all of them, now in CD versions, and Danny is one of the best vibrato guitarists ever, not to mention one of the best rockers ever. After he lost it and left, and Nicksoid and Buckcram joined, FM became just another bubble gum pop band.

Great to see Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer! Rich Robinson, (The Black Crowes), covers 'Station Man' on his new solo LP.. Sounds good too. Faithful rendition.

@timmypeck, He was the replacement of Jeremy Spencer after he joined a religious cult. He, Christine and Danny shared the composition duties on Future Games and Bare Trees. And he shared the guitar parts with Danny, although Danny was more a lead player. After Danny was fired he shared the guitar parts on the next two records with lead player Bob Weston, who also was fired eventually because of his relationship with Mick's wife. After that Bob made his last album with FM in 1974.

@TheMichaelseymour, that's what I've been thinking for a while. Danny Kirwan was or is living in hostels for the homeless, while Mick Fleetwood has been spending millions on blow alone. Even worse, he and John McVie still got the guts to ignore Danny Kirwan almost completely, while he wrote the biggest part of the songs when he was in the band and they almost never wrote anything all.

Peter Green was probably a genius, but they never exchanged straight blues for heavy bluesy rock before Danny Kirwan joined - just think about that. Danny brought new ideas to the band that years later were still used after Buckingham/Nicks joined. Apart from this, I think Danny Kirwan did his most stunning work on Future Games and Bare Trees. Brilliant guitar player, lovely singer and gifted composer. whose role is eternally being underplayed, especially by Fleetwood and McVie.

Anyway, It's just amazing to see any filmed Danny Kirwan material on YouTube. The more the better:)!

@cullions3, Actually I think Lindsey Buckingham is a stunning guitar player with an unique finger picking technique. Just listen to his very dramatic solo's in some of the I am so Afraid versions (the Mirage tour version (1982) is particularly outstanding) or his acoustic playing in Big Love where he sounds like two guitarists in one. But I happen to love Danny Kirwan as much as Lindsey with his haunting finger vibrato and his melancholic song and singing. He is just so overlooked,..
What is the tune Christine is playing at the end of the video? Is it on any of their albums?

That song at the end is "When The Train Comes Back". It's an old Chicken Shack song.

That's a Chicken Shack song. It's on "Forty Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed And Ready To Serve."
