Bobby Hunt & Doug Graves

As for Mr Brunning, he was hired perhaps as a temporary member, but he was still a member and if John McVie hadn't left Mayall, Brunning might have still been a member of the band right up until he passed away.

I'm not saying Doug Graves or Bobby Hunt were members, but perhaps, especially in Doug Graves case, they were told they were in the band as members (which there is at least some evidence to suggest HE thought he was in the band permanently).

Yes, because FM held a presser specifically to introduce the new members of FM (Billy/RV). Take someone like Dave Donato of Black Sabbath. Nothing he recorded with them was ever released (I think he just did demos) but he was announced as a member (I guess Dave Walker could fall into this category with them as well, though they did make 1 public TV appearance when he was there).

Agreed on Brunning, though I'd be surprised if he'd have stayed with FM that long, maybe until '69, at a push but I guess we'll never know for sure.

Dave Walker in Black Sabbath is a good example, he only did one live appearance, but I think he is still generally listed as a member of the band not as part of a "touring band" or whatever.

Yeah I'm glad DW was there for at least that, so at least there's some solid documentation there with him being with them (though I'd sure love to get my hands on the VIDEO of that performance, it seems that only the audio portion of it has leaked (& screen shots). Since the source was a TV show, this must mean that SOMEONE SOMEWHERE has the video otherwise how did they get the audio from the video source? Anyway, end of thread highjack.

On that note, though, I'd love to see the video from Christine's first TV appearance with Fleetwood Mac from Top of the Pops. There are a lot of photos from that, but I've never seen any video of it.

This would be a dream. And the footage of her singing "Show Me a Smile" that Stevie says she saw on television long before she joined.

Anyone out there?!!!

Yeah, just thinking back, I haven't seen any video from those shows with Christine while Jeremy was still in the group...just the stills. The earliest VIDEO of Fleetwood Mac that I've seen with Christine has been the "Dragonfly" video that also has Bob Welch (which I think was from the same show/session that the "Lay It All Down" video was from)
