It seems odd that the band would add somebody and it not be in the music magazines, even in 1974. Even Stevie and Lindsey joining got mentioned. I'd love to read the article in full.

Was Bobby Hunt the keyboardist responsible for the amazing organ work on "Believe Me" during the Sausalito session? If so, he is waaaaaaaaaaaay more than merely Bob's black friend, Mick Fleetwood.

Well, there's a copy of that issue on eBay if you're interested:

I don't know that I'm THAT interested, although I'd be curious to read Bill Bruford's review of Santana.

It's not Don Kirshner doing the announcement in the clip I mentioned above

He says "and tonight we're very happy to present Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Bob Welch & Doug Graves- in other words the real Fleetwood Mac."


I can't make out what he says his name is. Can anyone make it out or recognise the photo?

[Mr Scarrott]

Oh, the picture is of Mitchel Reed, found by googling "disc jockey WMCA"

I know. I was referring to when Kirshner introduced the band on Rock Concert.
