This day in 1971...
Fifty years ago, Jeremy Spencer disappeared from Fleetwood Mac...
|
Almost the end of the first era of the band. (I include the KH/KH tour as the original era, since everyone in the lineup had been involved with Fleetwood Mac since 1968).
|
I came across this pic on the Danny Kirwan FB group and the question arose, whether this was taken in the U.S. shortly prior to Jeremy's disappearance and conversion to the COG or in the UK. Any idea (or knowledge), anyone?

I do remember seeing moving footage of this very scene but I cannot remember where. I will look further into it! Edit: The unedited documentary elsewhere on YouTube is called “Mick Fleetwood: Two Sticks and a Drum” from 2001: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SH8hvTUE1HQ. At the 28:28 mark you’ll see the full pic pop up there, too. |
. . . thanks a million, aleuzzi! :thumbsup:
But you're not quite right in terms the city - the "Coming Home" documentary (thanks for pointing this out!) shows the pic zooming in from under the marquee of the "Fillmore East" in New York, so that's clearly the location. And taking in account the Mac having been on the same bill as Fairport and Savoy Brown, I'm pretty sure that the 3 gentlemen in question outside of the Mac are probably Rod Price, Tony Stevens and Roger Earl (left to right) from Savoy (definitely nobody from Fairport). So all questions answered, I guess. |

I could have studied the image more closely. It’s introduced in the documentary right at this point where Mick discusses Christine’s first gig in New Orleans, so I erroneously assumed they were connected. I have seen video stills of this, but cannot remember where. |

Might the guy in the cowboy hat be Dave Walker? I'm not sure if he was in Savoy Brown whilst Jeremy was still in FM.
