Fleetwood Mac - Live in London 68 CD Reviews:
Bait and switch 
2009-04-15 - After a field search for artist / title on CD, I am directed to a site selling me the title on LP. Expecting the search paramaters to still be in effect I purchased and LP I cannot use. ERROR... ERROR... ERROR...
amazon programers beware! This is the second event happening... one more strike, and your out.
Good music overshadows bad sound quality 
2009-02-28 - This is an early live performance from Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, before the inclusion of Danny Kirwan. Half the tracks spotlight Jeremy Spencer a little more, but it's the good Elmore James-type tracks, not the '50s rock he was so obsessed with. The songs that feature Peter, particularly "Don't Know Which Way to Go" and B.B. King's "Worried Dream," are some of his best. While this is definitely not the place to start if you are unfamiliar with early Mac, if you are a Peter Green fan, ignore the other reviews about the audio because it's not that bad. This is a really good live set. I would give the music a 5 and the sound quality a 3.
Too lo-fi (except for ultra-fans)
2008-10-15 - Let's go : Jeremy plays slide and sings "Got to move".Here are the Macs at the beginning of their saga.But the audio quality is terrible.Listen to "Shrine" , "The complete Boston Tea Party" or "Fleetwood Mac in Chicago" .Supernaturals.
Not that bad 
2008-07-23 - This is one of the first ever live recordings of Fleetwood Mac, back when they were mainly the blues, along with Cream, Alexis Korner, early Black Sabbath, and John Mayall (Mac is basically a Bluesbreakers spinoff). It was a different animal from the lineup you can now hear on the oldies station. This album is mainly blues covers, including one of Elmore James, an early influence on Peter Green. Some of these were never done in the studio by the band, so this is one for the hardcore fans.
The sound quality is not all that great, like the others said, but this was forty years ago, and they also probably didn't have a large budget for what would be hi-tech for that day. Maybe this was recorded for release but maybe Blue Horizon didn't think they were ready for their own live release (though they shared a couple with other blues acts).
Two photos in the liner notes are from 1970 with Danny Kirwan cut out, as he didn't join the band until a few months after this show. The one on the back is more of the first year of the band's existance, if you get this edition. This album has been reissued a number of times, with different covers and names, and is usually a budget item like this. This is more of a gray area release. It's not a bootleg, yet it's apparently not an official release either approved by the band.
Lo-Fi bootleg sound overwhelms great playing
2008-02-24 - There is some wonderful blues here, particularly the slower numbers.
Unfortunately, the sound is appalling. It's missing both the treble and bass, and the mid-range is indistinct and distorted. The concert sounds like it was recorded on a portable cassette deck using the built-in microphone, an impression enhanced by the audience reactions, which come over more clearly than the music. The poor sound detracts so heavily from the playing that the result is virtually unlistenable.
Leave this one alone.
[Note, there is also an album (GFS305) entitled "Fleetwood Mac: The Dream". It contains the same recording of this concert, but presented in a different order and doesn't mention that it's a live recording.]
