FULL ARTWORK
Live in Boston (also known as "Live at the Boston Tea Party") is a three-part album by British blues rock band Fleetwood Mac, recorded during a legendary extended weekend stand in 5th-7th February 1970, these live recordings from the three guitar lineup of Fleetwood Mac. This official release puts practically all the available tracks into this 3CD set.
Volume Two starts strong with a floating "World in Harmony", the only Peter Green/Danny Kirwin co-written track in the Fleetwood Mac catalog and one that interestingly never appeared on a studio album. An abbreviated but aggressive "Oh Well" (the rocking opening only) segues into a half hour "Rattlesnake Shake" that's more raucous, driving and intense than the lower key, and slightly stiffer version on Volume One. The Kirwin/Green interplay here is stunning as they push each other past previous limits, driven by the forceful rhythm section of John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. Jeremy Spencer runs through terse versions of "Stranger Blues" and "Red Hot Mama", two hot and jittery Elmore James covers. But the show becomes slipshod with his 50's doo-wop tribute "Teenage Darling" complete with faux-Elvis singing that is pandering and irritating. The band jogs through a few revved up, enthusiastic but hardly essential Little Richard covers, redeemed by Fleetwood's driving drums and Green's wiry leads weaving through ten minutes of "Jenny Jenny". It may have been a blast at the time, but the tracks don't translate well without the visual impact of the three guitarists flailing away. The set ends with a heretofore unheard twelve minute jam simply entitled "Encore", where Joe Walsh of opening band the James Gang, adds a fourth guitar. Intermittently interesting, the quadruple guitars trading leads and riffs make for some predictably cluttered and unfocused music. Followers of the band during these early years might find this of passing curiosity, but for most people, you had to be there.
