Some very underrated albums in that package - it goes on after Danny Kirwin left to just before the eponymous 1975 album.

Nice to see the Mac exploring their amazing legacy.

Peter Green, you are indeed mourned. What talent! What soul!

Since it would hardly be a Synch listen without an LMG namedrop, here is a true story I posted on another site:

"I had a long-time friend and academic associate David Colenso who as a student used to play saxophone with the many musicians in the Richmond and Kingston area in the mid-1960s, usually in pubs - one of whom was a pre-fame Peter Green.

David suffered from several of the issues that afflicted Peter Green, and he was not really interested in music after the 1960s, when he set his sax aside. Whenever pub conversation turned to music he would recall his happy youth just bringing the pleasures of rhythm and blues to small but appreciative audiences. David would always ask me what happened to Peter Green, soon forgetting after I told him that he founded one of the most successful bands in rock music and wrote several tunes that most of the folks in the pub would recognise.

He would tuck away his stories until the next time conversation turned to music. I genuinely did not believe he could conceive of blues/rock music the way we do, having left it behind while having been at the birth of one of the most fertile periods in its history.

Sadly, David passed on over twenty years ago, and tonight I will be toasting the two musicians who played the music they loved with unabashed but restrained enthusiasm never dreaming where the journey would lead."

Knowing what's to come makes this even sadder.

Danny K had a volatile temperament. He was upset easily and bruised easily. He felt PG was unduly criticising him. He was often drunk and wrecked rooms, he once threw a bottle at Pete's head on stage.
