Tuesday’s Tune: Rattlesnake Shake

Live in Boston is a live album by British blues-rock band Fleetwood Mac. The album was recorded over three nights at the notorious Boston Tea Party venue in Massachusetts, between February 5th and February 7th, 1970. I was given this record for my birthday last year and it is a constant favourite. Rattlesnake Shake by the founder of Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green, would have to be my highlight. I love it’s labored pace, the tease of the lyrics from Green’s vocals and the rattlesnake sound of the maracas. This is Fleetwood Mac pre-Stevie Nicks.

I’ve chosen the two videos below because you need to see a live version of this, but the sound is kind of terrible, so there is also a better quality version below! Enjoy! (Best played LOUD).

and for better sound quality..
