London, United Kingdom (1967 – present)

Fleetwood Mac was a successful British blues band of the late 1960s. The band was started in London in 1967 by guitarist Peter Green, who recruited the rhythm section of John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers: drummer Mick Fleetwood and bass guitarist John McVie. Green himself had replaced a departing member, Eric Clapton, as the lead guitarist of the “Bluesbreakers”; Green and McVie had appeared on John Mayall’s 1967 A Hard Road album. The band employed another bassist, Bob Brunning, until John McVie was persuaded to join the band. (The band’s first album “Fleetwoord Mac” contains one song with Brunning on bass.) Slide-guitarist and Elmore James devotee, Jeremy Spencer, rounded out the lineup.

After its second album, “Mr. Wonderful”, a third guitarist, 18-year-old Danny Kirwan, was added to the lineup. At this point the band began shifting into a more melodic, introspective, and experimental/progressive mode. Most performances were built around the twin leads of Green and Kirwan, and Kirwan’s songwriting was featured in nearly equal proportion to Green’s. After releasing two successful singles, the instrumental “Albatross” (which remains the band’s only #1 hit in the UK), and the ballad “Man of the World” [#2 UK], it produced what is often considered the best album of the band’s Peter Green era, “Then Play On”. Spencer was, for the most part, absent from these recording sessions. The epic 2-part “Oh Well” single followed [#2 UK], and was included in later pressings of the U.

That'd be awesome. I guess you'd have to get your tickets fast when it's confirmed - it'll probably be a sellout.

Yeah, I heard that rumor also. Sheryl Crow is supposed to be taking Christine McVie's place.

Who's heard that Fleetwood Mac might be doing a tour in 2009? I was looking for a totally different event when I came across some rumours and news articles and it looks like it might actually be happening!!

I really liked them during their first bluesy, Elmore James-oriented years.
