Some years ago, someone on The Ledge listed the Fleetwood Mac BBC performances. The 1971 performance included "Show Me A Smile" & I think a Bob Welch song & maybe a Danny Kirwan song.

I knew it! "Show Me A Smile" was the catalyst song that Stevie Nicks saw/heard that convinced her to join FM. It's the perfect post '74 Mac song lost on 1971's "Future Games".


According to Mick Fleetwood, when he was depressed with the band that made millions, he brought out the Peter Green era live material to play for the new members. Since that's the band he wanted from the beginning; Mick's right, it would've been a Led Zeppelin/Stones type band with Peter Green/Danny Kirwan, and it would've been a Rock monster instead of a Pop monster.
