I asked him if he could reduce the extreme nature of the stereo separation, and he did. Then, once I was done with that, I sent the whole recording to my musical associate MZ. So I carefully went through each song and raised or lowered the volume of the channels to get a better mix. To my ears, the vocals were often too low and the guitar was too loud. For instance, nearly all of the vocals are in one channel and nearly all of the lead guitar is in the other channel. It so happens that the recording has an extreme stereo mix. Now, I need to discuss the edits made to this recording, because I did some things to make this sound even better than the usual bootleg versions floating around the Internet. It has to be the best live recording of the band in their first couple of years, officially released or not. But that little bit is very helpful, because it's the end of a concert, and the end to the other concert is cut off.Īnyway, I know that sounds confusing, but the bottom line is that after I've trimmed out some partial songs and one duplicate, what's left is a remarkable concert that's an hour and forty minutes long.

Thus, when it comes to that other show, I've only included 'Shake Your Moneymaker' and 'Ready Teddy,' plus some between song banter.

It also has a full version of 'I Believe My Time Ain't Long,' but I didn't include that either, since there's a good full version of that earlier in the recording. This other night's recording begins with only about a minute of 'I Need Your Love So Bad,' so I didn't include that. Luckily, the 'Ready Teddy' finale for that show is complete, and included here. That appears to be the very end of the second set in that concert. Then the last few songs are actually from probably two nights earlier at the same location. Later, 'Ready Teddy,' probably the last song of the second set, gets cut off, so I didn't include that either. But only about one minutes of the first song with him, 'Stop Messin' Round,' exists, so I didn't include that. The second set begins with special guest Paul Butterfield sitting in and playing harmonica. The rest of the first set is intact, with 'Lazy Poker Blues' announced as the last song of that set. It could be there were more songs from before that that were lost though.

For instance, the first few seconds of the first song was missing, but I was able to patch that up. At a few points, the recording started or stopped in the middle of a song. It's so good that I presume it had to have been professionally recorded. I'm not sure how or why this recording exists. Needless to say, I'm not using the botched recording from that album. So let's just pretend that abomination of an album doesn't exist. Even the title of the album is offensive, with 'Before the Beginning' implying that the entire Peter Green era was just a warm-up before the 'real' 'Rumours' band line-up became big stars in the 1970s. For instance, although they included most of this concert, they claimed not to know the date or the location, and acted like they were newly recovered mystery recordings.

The biggest problem is they added fake crowd noise all the way through every song! But there are so many other things wrong with it. Just last year, an album came out called 'Before the Beginning.' But as I complained in another blog post, it's one of the worst official releases from a major band in decades.

If you're into the Peter Green era of Fleetwood Mac whatsoever, this is a must have! It's a great performance with jaw-droppingly great sound for an unreleased 1968 concert.
