Cleaned Up and Amazing

"At first I was a Doubting Thomas, having weathered some of this material in the form of bootlegs and previously inferior CD incarnations. But these tapes have been cleaned up and run through the HDCD process. Volume 2 contains the highest of highs while Volume 1 as a set is more consistent. If you start with Volume 2 (I haven't yet heard Volume 3, the final chapter), you'll be amazed at the first 30+ minutes in which Peter Green and Danny Kirwin really go at it GDead-style. Simply a vital piece of rock n roll history. Stevie who?"

Great sound on remastered re-released live album

"Capturing Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac at the height of their powers, Live at the Boston Tea Party Volume Two features the superb guitar interplay of Danny Kirwan and Peter Green. This edition features a 28 minute version of Rattlesnake Shake that burns. Featuring one previously unreleased track (the encore jam featuring Joe Walsh whose band at the time The James Gang opened for FM), this astonishing album has never been heard this clear before. Nick Watson has remixed and remastered these classic recordings using the High Definition Compact Disc technology that has improved so many marginal (and not so marginal) sounding albums. Highly recommended."

"Peter Green-integrity and simplicity,McVie / Fleetwood - a fabulous rhythm section and-oh!-what a stupendous drummer M Fleetwood is/was on this night(Rattlesnake Shake,for example)-McVie is 1st class too but it is sometimetimes hard to hear him but you know he is going at it in his own unique manner (I'm confident in John-OK ?)-plus the young Kirwan(well hired Peter) and the delightful Jeremy Spencer(described in the liner notes to this triple set as a bit of a rock and roll afficionado / Elmore James copyist but just listen to track 4's Stranger Blues and hear JS's exuberance and -in my view- you've already hit 1 of the at leat 10 highlights of this magical groove).. if you have the edition in my paw: Vol 2SMMCD 556 on Snapper Music then you have a precious -remixed in near the original concert order-event in your ears. A band at the apogee of its form. Thank you all and thanks for still playing. For similar "exuberance" try remixes of Who Live At Leeds, Frank Zappa's Hot Rats and anything by Humble Pie,Foo Fighters and Eddie Cochran ...I could go on...."
