Fleetwood Mac - 1970 Live in Boston Vol.2. 2003 HDCD Remastered





Review by Lindsay Planer
This is the second of three CDs reassessing Fleetwood Mac's February 1970 run of shows at the Bosstown's very own psychedelic dungeon, the Boston Tea Party. For decades, these recordings have masqueraded under a plethora of titles, including Jumping at Shadows (1985), Cerulean (1985), and Rattlesnake Shake (1985). A late-'90s revisitation in the digital domain yielded nearly an hour of never before available material in uniformly stellar sound quality. At the time these sets were documented, the combo of Mick Fleetwood (drums), Jeremy Spencer (guitar/vocals), John McVie (bass), and Peter Green (guitar/vocals) had recently expanded with the addition of Danny Kirwan (guitar/vocals). He had joined just in time for their most concurrent release, Then Play On (1969). The introductory fretwork on "World in Harmony" recalls Steve Miller's intricate ode to Girl Freiberg on "Quicksilver Girl" and is contrasted by some soulful double-lead guitar work that could have easily been inspired by the Allman Brothers' Duane Allman and Dickey Betts. The reading of Green's "Oh Well" is thoroughly incendiary; however, here listeners are presented with only the opening segment, compared to the nearly nine-minute studio side. This makes way for the second and complete version of "Rattlesnake Shake," contrasting the one on Live in Boston, Vol. 1 (2003), which fades during the waning moments of the ferocious finale. Another distinction reveals that while presumably both renderings began in the same key, this one concludes in a lower register. The band's salute to Little Richard on "Keep a Knockin'" and "Jenny Jenny" is loads of fun, allowing them to blow out the jams and clear the deck for the "Encore Jam," with guest guitarists Joe Walsh and a serene and subdued Eric Clapton. While not as essential as the first part of the trilogy, Live in Boston, Vol. 2 (2003) is a great companion piece and, for likeminded listeners, a recommended addition.
