99. The Existence of two Fleetwood Macs during the early '70s The cocaine and Quaaludes come-down from the kaleidoscopic '60s was the cause of more than a few scrambled bands in the early '70s, and the Mac perhaps suffered more than most. It wasn't enough that the initial triumvirate of guitarists, Peter Green, Danny Kirwin and Jeremy Spencer, had all gone the gibbering way of Syd Barrett. No, the early '70s found a series of guitarists coming and going in increasingly acrimonious circumstances, a situation which came to a head for the 1974 tour for the album 'Mystery To Me'.

Yet another guitarist, Bob Weston, had been sacked for reportedly bedding Mick Fleetwood's wife, Jenny. Faced with cancelling a lucrative US tour, Mac manager Clifford Davis took the, ahem, unusual step of forming a bogus Mac to go in the band's place. Amazingly, so fluid was the band's line-up at the time that few people, apart from the genuine band, actually complained.
