Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - Live Performance of 'I'm Worried' in Norway
In November 1969, when Fleetwood Mac performed the live recording of “I’m Worried” in Oslo, they were riding the wave of their earlier self-titled album, released that same year. This debut, often referred to as “Fleetwood Mac,” marked a crucial era for the band, showcasing their blues roots and featuring Peter Green’s soulful guitar work. Interestingly, this period was a time of transition; the band was shifting from the British blues scene to a more diverse sound that would eventually evolve into their later pop-rock success. The live performance captures that raw energy of the band’s early days, complete with Jeremy Spencer’s dynamic stage presence. It's also worth noting that Peter Green, the band's founder, was instrumental in forging their distinct sound often characterized by emotional depth and complex guitar melodies. The magic of live performances like this one not only highlighted their musical prowess but also set the stage for their future evolution, as they began to explore new musical territories, ultimately leading to their iconic albums in the 70s.
