Bluesology 1968 : Chateau Impney .

Fleetwood Mac

A film crew followed Fleetwood Mac to the festival and filmed them and Joe Cocker onstage, so we now have an excellent number of images of the festival at long last thanks to DVideo.

Peter green and Danny Kirwan are rehearsing in the front room of what is probably the Green family council flat, their progress is interrupted by the arrival of their ubiquitous Transit van ready to take them off to their gig at Drotwich.
