Chicken Shack Video Live, 1968
Holy crap!!!!! Here’s Chicken Shack in France, 1968. That is most certainly Christine on the piano. It’s colorized and everything. All the songs are sung by Stan Webb, but the piano is prominent on every tune.
Wow! Wowza!!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XRfaX31AtLM |

Watching Stan try to play “Hideaway” is especially rough considering Christine’s husband or soon to be husband had already played that with Eric Clapton, and Stan Webb wasn’t close to that.
I still wonder how adding Christine never crossed Peter’s mind. Maybe it’s a hindsight thing, but she was the only thing that remotely stuck out in this.

And yes, instrumentally, Chris is the only standout on the recording, but what a standout! Stan plays some frenetic guitar but he ain’t Peter or Danny. Christine however is top notch here. |

That’s definitely possible. But wouldn’t that have made her decision not to sing a bit stranger, right? By 1969, weren’t fans of the band expecting her to sing on some things?

BTW - this was in 1969 (not 68), but "I'd Rather Be Blind" wasn't out yet at the time, so folks didn't know it - let alone expect it. Last edited by lazy poker; 12-02-2023 at 04:13 AM.. |

She didn’t solo—not surprising. She rarely did with FM, either. But her piano throughout was upfront and center. It’s functioning here in a prominent way. And that is so cool to hear. |

On the other hand I was more than glad to witness Chris playing with the Shack, because this 69 performance and the "See See Baby" clip from a 68 "Bouton Rouge" episode seem to be all there is . . . or is there more? In that case please let me know!!! |

I reviewed this footage - although in its original b&w form (which I still prefer) - as early as 2016 in this thread:
https://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/s...ad.php?t=52276 And it was there where we both already discussed matters of Christine's role in Chicken Shack. I, for one, don't know about more footage being in circulation - sorry! |

Since the footage I posted was referenced by you many years ago, where was it? I’m always on the lookout for pre-Fm Christine footage. So I’m curious where you first saw it… Last edited by aleuzzi; 12-02-2023 at 06:28 PM.. |

But I'd dug out this info on the material (again I can't recall where I came upon these details): Contrary to what it says elsewhere, it wasn't recorded for "Bouton Rouge", but for a programme called "Forum Musique". A given date of April 26 (1969) is most probably the day of the broadcast, as Christine must've left the band by that time already. |

Also, her choice of fills were fantastic.
