I think I've read J and C saw each other there, but didn't actually formally 'meet' there. Chris must have been easy to notice, being like the only female performer there LOL, and I remember Chris saying Mayall played in the 'big tent'-- Mayall was a big name so she probably watched them and hence, saw John. Their first real meeting--when I assume they were introduced to each other and actually talked a bit-- was 3 mos later, in Nov 1967 at London's Saville Theater. I believe John was still engaged to some other girl at that time, though, so it was just a 'friend' thing for awhile. -Lis |

Actually,
the first F Mac gig was August 13, 1967 at the WIndsor festival. The Marquee gig was some days later. I have the Windsor performance on tape, it's short but great, with the only live version of the SONG "Fleetwood mac" that i've ever heard. Agree about Zeppelin; they should have acknowledged where their early songs songs came from. "Lemon song" is basically "Killin' floor" all the way through /dino |

I fully agree with you comments. I have all these recordings as well and should've known better. However, it was way past my bedtime and I felt I just HAD to respond to sexual blatelently comments. |

I think the appropriation of old blues songs by various bands around that time was pretty widespread. After all, Jeremy used to do it fairly regularly and quite blatantly, and Peter did it a few times too. 'Leaving Town Blues' owed a hell of a lot to 'If I Get Lucky' by Arthur Crudup for example. I was quite shocked when I heard that song

And, "Ramblin' Pony" is pretty much Muddy Waters' "Rollin' & Tumblin'" with different lyrics.

Attempting to sort out the song appropriations can be very difficult indeed.
"Lemon Squeezer" on "Shrine '69" is actually a John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson song titled "Until My Love Comes Down". "Going Home", from the Windsor debut is a Howlin' Wolf song, which Wolf himself later adapted into the better known "Who's Talking", which Green then used as his template for "I Loved Another Woman". Even the LP / CD releasing companies can get the credits wrong. Chess Records artist Jimmy Rogers (real name Jimmy Lane) is listed as the composer of "Lemon Sqeezer" on "Shrine '69" for some reason, and every release that I have seen of the material on "London Live '68" has Jimi Hendrix ( ! ) as the composer on "Bleeding Heart" which ends the disc. FWIW, it is an Elmore James song.
