Sit back, tune up with the players and return to the sixties! You are there. Peace and love, brothers and sisters, four hundred miles south of Haight Ashbury, near downtown L.A., it's a southern California winter night. Eagerly, you enter the Exposition Hall, a large, cavernous, dimly-lit hall, more geared toward trade shows than musical concerts. Zappa and the Mac ara playing tonight. Amen! In the center, at one end of the hall is a small, elevated platform-the stage. It's crowded-heads, long hair, flowers, beards, swaying bodies. Low hums and murmurs of anticipation hang in the air. Incense and herbal smells waft about as your party drifts towards the stage, where four young lads are busily tuning their axes while the roadies check the gear. "Check. One, two." Now excitement roils the crowd. You gaze up. Is this a dream? There they are. The musicians turn around and move toward you. Suddenly, the P.A. booms, "One of England's finest blues bands-Fleetwood Mac!" "Thank you," says Peter Green.
LET IT BEGIN. FEEL THE MUSIC.

TECHNICAL NOTES (from human memory):
Recorded January 25th, 1969, from Tychobrae Sound's house sound system using a modified Fairchild mixing console with one line out to an Ampex 2-track recorder. Recorded mono, 2 track, 7-1/2 IPS on Scotch 201 tape. Front of house sound components were JBL speakers. Tape digitally transferred and mastered; no baking or flaking occurred. Every attempt was made to reproduce the live, natural environment and artistry. What would a live show be without musical feedback?
