John Mayall – Live In 1967 Vol. 3 (CD)
Product Details
The spring of 1967 was a pivotal hinge point in rock and blues history, with Peter Green, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood just months away from leaving the Bluesbreakers to form Fleetwood Mac. Hearing them in the sweat and intimacy of London club rooms, before the split, before the fame, captures something no studio session ever could. These are the sounds of a band at the crossroads.
Here is the third and final volume of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers "Live In 1967," featuring Peter Green, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood just before they formed Fleetwood Mac. Thanks to dedicated fan Tom Huissen who took his one channel reel-to-reel tape recorder into various London clubs in 1967, these historical performances were captured for all time. Unheard for almost fifty years, John recently obtained these tapes and began restoring them with the technical assistance of Eric Corne of Forty Below Records. Corne adds, "While the source recording was very rough and the final result is certainly not hi-fidelity, it does succeed in allowing us to hear how spectacular these performances are." It's truly an exciting glimpse into music history.
