Live at the BBC

Popularity29.6

Live at the BBC is a double-CD collection of Fleetwood Mac's radio session recordings for the BBC, made between 1967 and 1971. It came out on Castle Records on 11 September 1995 and sits firmly in the band's blues rock years, well before the arrival of the line-up that would define their later sound.

The set is worth hearing because many of its tracks were not available anywhere else when it appeared. That makes it a useful companion to the studio albums of the period, from Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac in 1968 through Then Play On and Kiln House, and a chance to hear the group working in a live broadcast setting rather than a studio album context.
