Before all the people come in to post, "who", here's a link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleetwood_Mac#1970–1974:_Transitional_era

To all that appreciated Fleetwood Mac's early career in blues before they became pop stars,
Danny Kirwan was part of the three guitars of early Fleetwood Mac along with Jeremy Spencer and Peter Green.

His is a very sad story that unfortunately didn't have a good middle or ending either.
RIP Danny Kirwan.

Kirwan's first recorded work with the band was his contribution to Green's huge instrumental hit single "Albatross". Green later stated that, "I would never have done "Albatross" if it wasn't for Danny. I would never have had a number one hit record.

The only Fleetwood Mac that mattered AFAIC

I don't know how many times I've heard that song and never realized it was Fleetwood Mac. Totally different sounding band.

That band really went through some changes over the years. From a fairly hard core sounding blues band, not sure how to classify it, but to a kind of folksey softer sound, to the pop giants they are today. I saw them live once in the early seventies not too long after the album "Bare Trees" and "Kiln House" were released. It was very odd. They didn't look like Fleetwood Mac, and they sounded nothing like the band I was listening to a lot. They must have been changing their sound again, but maybe no recordings had been released yet. Don't know, but it was very odd.

Yea should listed the long version with the psychedelic middle and end, could of been confused with Fog Hat or Savoy Brown, ect.

9 minute version - get stoned and listen version.
