Before The Beginning? Fleetwood Mac gab es schon, noch bevor ihre bekannteste Version (nachdem Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks und Christine McVie dazugekommen waren) 1968 in allen Sendestationen ununterbrochen zu hören war. Die aus den Resten der Bluesbreakers hervorgegangene Gruppe – dank des genialen Peter Green (zusammen mit zwei weiteren Gitarristen, Jeremy Spencer und dem noch ganz jungen Danny Kirwan, sowie dem Schlagzeuger Mick Fleetwood und dem Bassisten John McVie) – schöpft aus dem Delta-Blues, indem sie dessen Legenden wie Robert Johnson, Elmore James, T-Bone Walker covert… Mit drei Alben erweckt Sony an die dreißig, erstmals veröffentlichte Live-Mitschnitte aus den Jahren 1968 und 1970 zu neuem Leben – darunter vier Demoversionen. Dass es diese Mitschnitte gibt, ist ein kleines Wunder, denn ohne irgendein Label sind sie durch die gnädigen Hände ihresgleichen gegangen, sodass wir nun eine recht kontrastreiche Vision vorliegen haben. Erste Anzeichen der 68er mit unterwürfigen, aber schwungvollen Gitarren. Dann die ausgeflippten 70er und die unterschwellige Implosion mit Greens langen, leidenschaftlich besessenen Instrumentaleinlagen wie etwa dieser 13-minütige erschütternde Rattlesnake Shake, dieser fuchsteufelswilde Oh Well oder der berühmte, schmachtende Albatross. Es handelt sich um schematische, weniger ausgearbeitete, ungeschliffene Versionen. Spencer sollte später zu den Children of God überlaufen, Kirwan wegen Alkoholproblemen hinausgeworfen werden und den genialen Peter Green treibt es endgültig in den Wahnsinn. Ein wahres Stück britischer Geschichte. © Charlotte Saintoin/Qobuz
