Fleetwood Mac Performs Shake Your Money Maker on French TV

Venue: Gaiety Ballroom Location: Ramsey, England, United Kingdom Date: October 12, 1968

In October 1968, Fleetwood Mac was riding a wave of burgeoning popularity following the release of their self-titled debut album just a year earlier. This live performance, showcased on French TV, captured a moment in time when the band was still exploring its blues roots, playing tracks like "Shake Your Money Maker," which would become a staple in their repertoire. By this point, Peter Green's thoughtful guitar work stood out, highlighting the band's unique sound in the British blues scene. It’s fascinating to note how this early live gig was pivotal for Fleetwood Mac, giving them exposure beyond the UK and helping to cement their presence in the evolving music landscape. Looking back, it’s almost surreal to see their humble beginnings before they transitioned into the massive rock juggernaut they became in the ‘70s. Who could’ve imagined then that their journey would lead to such a beloved legacy?
