Fleetwood Mac. Played at the Lacarno Sunderland in May 1969, the early Fleetwood Mac which did not have Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie. At that time Fleetwood Mac was an all male blues band with a guitarist by the name of Peter Green who would hold a legendary status among guitar players the world over. The same reverence was held in reserve for Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Mick Taylor.
Fleetwood Mac sold boatloads of albums in the U.K. and the world over, but the blues years were forgotten by many. Many fans who discovered Fleetwood Mac in the mid 70's did not even realize that they sprang from blues roots. Oh Well Part 1, became the first single ever to become a number one single all over Europe. Albatross reached the number one spot in the UK in 1969. Four years later it was released a second time as a single. This time it reached number 2.
