“Sentimental Lady” is a pretty bland song but I will say that most of the Fleetwood Mac albums he appeared on (Future Games through Mystery to Me in particular) were pretty decent. Maybe not as stirring as the Buckingham-Nicks Fleetwood but pleasant listening nonetheless.
They sound very under-rehearsed. Maybe the studio version is just so damn smooth that any live take is going to sound rough around the edges. This is a song that I like the studio production of much better than the actual song itself and this is proof. Mick looks pretty bored.
I’d like to see this song done by a heavy group (Faith No More?) There was a band that did Summer Breeze as a 90’s grunge / thrash song that kinda worked. I’m sure my friends in Yacht Rock do this song.
My wife was very surprised that I expressed zero interest in this tour. I explained that, of the band members, I only care for Neil and I’m not even that interested in seeing him at this point. If he brought back Crazy Horse, maybe. If I had a time machine and could go back to, say, 1976, then definitely.
I am very excited about this show. I only know their Best Of LP (my dad played this all the time when I was a kid) and I just picked up their three studio releases. In a strange way it’s a “new” band for me since I am hearing most of this music (save the 10 songs on the best of) for the 1st time this week.
I was never a big fan of Sentimental Lady. But Ebony Eyes, on the other hand…much better. Loving this clip (again, with portions of Fleetwood Mac dropping in), which I had never seen until a couple of minutes ago…
Thanks for passing along that link. That was on my To Do list, but getting shoved back by old-fashioned work requests. Did you see that Andrew Bodnar, I believe, is in your profession? I smell a groundbreaking rock-librarian crossover interview, BigSteve, and you’re the man to do it! (Maybe our resident Rock Psychic will want to contribute as well.)
I think what gets me is the spaniel-ears haircut he wore later on along with the receding hairline and shades.

What the heck show was this? Mick F on drums, Christine M on BU vox — huh?

Totally! j2 just tuned me into this as well with his newsflash.
Christine McVie gets me all nostalgic. I like some of her 2004 solo album “In the Meantime” She turns 68 next month!
I had no idea Buffalo Springfield was actually reuniting and touring until Townsman plugdin sent me the following link:

I’ll take Buffalo Springfield over any of their harmony-singing, Cali-based contemporaries.

All sorts of clips from Cal Jam 1&2 on youtube. Where’ve I been that I’ve never seen these?
Mod’s hero Frank Marino played Cal Jam 2. Here he is, doing–go figure!–Purple Haze.

I did see that, but I don’t want to know about a library that won’t give one of its librarians a couple of days off to go play bass in New York.
Ray Davies makes me sentimental. Happy 67th, Ray. Here’s to having the longest birthday possible, I had a girlfriend like that.
