One of my high school buddies had a Rambler Marlin. Aqua blue color.

Aaah I'm more of a Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac guy.
Always thought the band deteriorated in the Buckingham / Nick's phase.

Albatross is one of Peters masterpieces. I could listen to his smooth guitar work on that piece all day. He was an amazing writer/ player.

$150 and $100 sounds like peanuts today, but in 1972 I rented a 2 bedroom apartment with a garage, washer/dryer in Campbell CA (heart of Silicon Valley now) for $150... just sayin'

The entire Then Play On album was phenomenal. I recorded at least 6 cassette tapes of a freshly bought album, 2 for my buddies (we would record each others' new albums regularly) , 2 for my house and 2 for my car.

Most people don't understand why I like old Fleetwood Mac over Buckingham/Nicks Fleetwood Mac.
Geesh, give me the Moody Blues, a bottle of Canadian Mist, and a well built brunette over any other music.
Still have the vinyl, occasionally sip the Canadian Mist and have been married to the brunette since '73.
I think they are all keepers.

Some years ago we were visiting my brother and his wife in Maui. When we go we always check the schedule for concerts at the Maui Arts Center. Just so happened Mick Fleetwood and band was playing so we got tickets for it. Was a great show and Steven Tyler was a guest appearance on stage. They played some great music together with of the tunes being Rattlesnake Shake.
Funny because years before saw a documentary of Aerosmith and Tyler was talking about how the band got together. He heard about this no name band and went to see them in bar. He wasn't impressed at all and was on his way out when they broke into Rattlesnake Shake. He immediately turned around and the rest is history. From his own words. Christie McVie was another surprise guest that night. What a show.
We've seen Mick play there several times including twice at his pub on Front Street, now gone from the fire, sadly. Never got to see Peter

All these old guys talking about rock n roll reminds me of something from forty some years ago. The Rolling Stones had just released "Tattoo You." I recall thinking, "Jagger is nearly forty, he's too old for rock."
Now I'm 66 and currently listening to "Locomotive Breath."

Those were the great years for them when Peter was still sane.

I would give five days off the end of my life to never have to hear Knights in White Satin again.
Pretty darned sure my eldest was conceived to that tune.

Sorry. It's almost as bad as any KISS song.
I like their Beth song.
