Review:
5.0 out of 5 stars Early Fleetwood Mac could play blues? Yeah!
A couple of days ago, I received my hard-bound copy of "Fleetwood Mac in Chicago" -- and I'm loving it! It's a large, nicely produced coffee-table type book that documents one specific 1969 recording session. It's illustrated with pages and pages of photographs and text that capture the dynamics of young English musicians collaborating with Chicago blues legends. To be clear, this book is not a biography nor a history of the band. It features the early Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green and Danny Kirwan --years before the Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham iteration.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Labor Of Love
I spent a great afternoon on a sub zero day reading this wonderful book while listening to Blues Jam in Chicago Vol 1 & 2 on Bolo Music. It took me back to the 1960's in Chicago with references to the Kinetic Playground. I had the vinyl of this recording session way back when. The book is printed on photo quality paper and full of extraordinary and loving commentary and interviews about these historic sessions. My biggest surprise was reading about the session produced and recorded by Mike Vernon shortly after the January 4, 1969 Chicago sessions in New York with Otis Spann, Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, John McVie and S.P. Leary and released under Spann's name as The Biggest Thing Since Colossus. I'm listening to it now on Bolo Music and it is very good. I had no idea this existed. As the book notes Otis Spann was Muddy Water's pianist and is a great player and singer. The genesis of this book is a remarkable story in itself. Thank you Jeff for preserving these historical photos and thank you to my friend of many decades Robert for putting your heart and soul into this.
5.0 out of 5 stars A must for early Fleetwood Mac fans & Blues fans alike!
I’m obsessed with this amazing photo history of a day when a young English blues, Fleetwood Mac, lead by the legendary Peter Green, met, played and recorded with some of their American Blues heroes. An Iconic day at Chess Records, that produced and amazing album! A young photographer, Jeff Lowenthal, was brought in to capture this event and OH BOY, did he!!! Along with over a hundred photos, some never published before, are great interviews and remembrances and anecdotes, from The Mac’s peers, industry insiders and apostles. Robert Schaffner, co author, pulls these all together for a fascinating glance of an exploding music era. An absolute music for any Fleetwood Mac fan, Blues fan or fan of that great period in the late 60’s music scene, that produced so much amazing sound!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Chronicle
Jeff Lowenthal’s fantastic photographs of the legendary 1969 Chess Records Studio recording session that brought together the classic lineup of Fleetwood Mac & many of the great Chicago bluesmen are augmented & contextualized by co-author Robert Schaffner. Buddy Guy, Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick), Joe Bonamassa, and Walter Trout all weigh in as well, discussing the import of the session and the continuing impact of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. Looking through this tome, you'll wish you were in the room, and then you may even begin to feel like you could have been...I was fortunate to document portions of two celebrations for this compendium. Both featured Q&A with the authors as well as live renditions of Peter Green & Danny Kirwan-era Fleetwood Mac songs performed by excellent musicians from in & around Chicago.I am so pleased to own this artifact of Fleetwood Mac & Chicago Blues history, and I heartily recommend it to everyone!
5.0 out of 5 stars Green, Blues, Chicago, 1969
For me, and many like me, the Best era of Fleetwood Mac came early on. Soulful, sometimes Blistering Blues were their calling card. Nobody played this stuff better than Peter Green. Now add Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer and host of elite Chicago Bluesmen such as Buddy Guy, Otis Spann and Willie Dixon and you have all the ingredients necessary for a true Super Session! This book is a chronicle of those those fabled Sessions from January 1969. The Brits came to Chi-town to play with the masters. How did it go? Buy this book! Read this book. A Fly on the Wall intimate accounting of those sessions. Gorgeous photos and revelatory text make this book such an experience you'll feel like a privileged guest in the recording studio as it happens. If you have a deep interest in Chicago/British Blues, or if you'd simply like a bit more insight into the enigmatic Mr. Green, you need this in your library. You might say I really enjoyed this book. Indispensable!

Excellent tribute to Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac in Chicago
A real tribute to Peter Green after more than fifty years from legendary Blues Jam at Chess Session double LP in January 1969. The autors, Lowenthal and Schaffner, recollect memories about the Fleetwood Mac session with main Chicago blues musicians. It's a deep sight on that era. The excellent book, essential and well written, is full of pictures of all musicians attended the sessions (160 pages). Schaffner wrote "this book is a photographic tribute to that double album set" Right, it's true. A visual delight for Peter and Mac fans. Recommended.
Underbara fotografier!
En helt fantastisk bok för alla fans av Peter Green och tidiga Fleetwood Mac!

photos incroyables du fleetwood mac blues de 1969
Indispensable for those of us who wish they had been there!
This is a pretty expensive book, but well worth it (especially if you have an Bolo token from your Daughter for Father’s Day!). When I bought the original double vinyl album, as a teenager at the end of the 60s, I was fascinated by the dozens of tiny photos inside the cover. I tried in vain to view them through a magnifying glass, but can now see them in glorious quality, full size, and with plenty more that I’m sure were not on the old album sleeve. We also get lots of background information from such luminaries as Mike Vernon (the man who produced the sessions), Marshall Chess (in whose studios the recordings were made) and various others who were either there, or wish they had been!In my opinion this is an indispensable item for all those of a certain age who will never forget that great Fleetwood Mac lineup.
