  • Perhaps the definitive live document of the original Fleetwood Mac, LIVE AT THE BOSTON TEA PARTY was recorded at a crucial point in the band's history. By 1970, Fleetwood Mac (the blues-based, Peter Green-led version, not the later pop aggregation) had achieved fame both in their native U.K. and in the U.S., and their pioneering blues-rock was beginning to be influenced by American groups like the Grateful Dead (as evidenced by the extended jams on BOSTON TEA PARTY). They were also about to fall apart, as Green was headed towards a mental breakdown and eventual abandonment of his group. This three-volume series, then, could be seen as something of a swan song.
  • The San Francisco shadings of the opener "World In Harmony" are further proof of the aforementioned Dead influence; the tune is a departure from the more traditional blues-orientation of the group's early material. "Oh Well," one of the original Mac's best-known tunes, is presented here in a blazing version that showcases the band's guitar firepower. Two Elmore James covers, "Stranger Blues" and "Red Hot Mama" pay homage to the band's roots. Speaking of roots, things end with a bang on the band's raucous run through Little Richard's "Jenny Jenny" and "Keep A-Knocking." Joe Walsh (whose James Gang opened the show) sits in on the closing jam.
