Review

Don't buy this from-the-vaults salvage project to hear a live version of "Songbird." Shrine '69 documents a 1969 performance by the storied 1968-1970 lineup led by guitarist Peter Green and featuring only two members of the outfit in its famous mid-'70s incarnation--bassist John McVie and drummer Mick Fleetwood. Green was Eric Clapton's successor in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and, like Clapton, he was a piercing B.B. King-influenced guitarist and agreeable vocalist. Early Mac boasted a three-guitar attack with Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan complementing the gifted Green. A live version of the English hit "Albatross" showcases the talent of the English blues band. On the other hand, the set ends with a bizarrely smutty cover of "Blue Suede Shoes" as Spencer bangs away at the piano and boasts about the size of his johnson. The rant is all the stranger considering that within two years he'd leave the band in midtour to join a religious cult. By then, Green had already quit and announced he was giving all his money away. Kirwan was fired in 1972, leaving Fleetwood and Mac to soldier on. And the rest, as they say, is history. --Steven Stolder
