I watched the Jeremy Spencer DVD recently and just felt like commenting. It was so neat to hear his memories (and I think considering how long ago it was and how young he was at the time, he recalled quite a bit!) A huge thank you to Martin Celmins for not snipping/editing out anything or portraying him as mentally unstable, as Jeremy seemed afraid he would! J seems happy and in great spirit; hearing his take on the way things all began was priceless. He also made me laugh quite a few times w/ his mannerisms, like his description of his first impressions of Mick Fleetwood, LOL, he cracked me up.


The part that moved me the most was where he described meeting Peter for the first time, and how Peter told him why he planned on naming the new band 'Fleetwood Mac'-- because those guys were his friends, and because eventually both Peter and Jeremy might leave and form bands of their own- he wanted to leave John and Mick w/ something. How incredibly prophetic that was! yes I admit it made me cry, I'm a sap.

My only complaint was that Martin didn't ask him about the period after Pete left--when they all lived at Kiln House, and about when/how Chris joined. They sort of skipped over that time frame. Other than that, I really enjoyed the whole thing (although I do wish someone had given the poor man a tissue, for heaven's sake, he must've had a cold or something. how many times can he wipe his nose w/ his hand before someone offers a tissue?? :-) )


I would adore seeing similar 'uncut' interviews of Pete, John and Mick regarding those early days of the band. But I'm happy Jeremy got his shot at giving *his* perspective on things (although I guess he did a bit of that in his Q&A also.)

Enough rambling.
