In search of a new guitarist, Fleetwood Mac turned to American Bob Welch.
His band, Head West, had broken up and he was down on his luck, living in Paris.
And I said, I'll be there in two seconds.
Could you send me a plane fare?
Bob flew to England to meet the band at their country retreat in Hampshire.
They were kind of saying, what are we really going to do?
Have we been cursed?
The continual curse of the [E] absconding guitar players.
[F] And [E] as this new guy, I knew I was being scrutinised
not so much for my musical talents, but for my [D] psychological [Ebm] soundness, shall we say.
He was totally different, background, R&B, sort of jazzy.
[F] He bought his personality.
I mean, he was a member of Fleetwood Mac before we'd even played [Gbm] a note.
[Em]
[Bm] Bob Welch joined, but [B] found that the band was still under the spell
[Bm] of ex-guitarist Peter Green.
[Gbm] [Em] [Bm] Peter Green most [Gbm] definitely haunted them.
It was never expressed in [E] so many words.
And actually, I would probably have been more happy if it had been.
[Eb] I knew there were certain guitar licks you did not try to play.
Peter Green had a brief solo career after leaving Fleetwood Mac
and still kept [G] in touch with the band.
But when Bob Welch met him for the first time, he realised something was amiss.
He showed up, I'll never forget.
His hair was all unkempt.
Well, that's OK, cos it was the hippie era and people did have unkempt hair.
In his hair, there was a piece of cheese stuck in his hair.
I don't know what kind of cheese it was, if it was Kare, Philly or Cheddar or not.
But it was most definitely a piece of cheese.
And I said, you know, a piece of cheese in his hair.
And then I'll never forget the day that he left.
He still had the same piece of cheese in his hair that he had come with five days earlier.
I realised then that even for the hippie era,
something was amiss, as free-spirited as I guess we all like to think we were.
If I had a piece of cheese in my hair on Wednesday, Thursday,
I can guarantee you it would be gone.
Bob Welch felt a nagging sense of distance between themselves
and the founder members of Fleetwood Mac.
It was like they were on some sort of mystical quest,
or they had been, you know, by appointment to Her Majesty,
you know, they had been given this thing, this mission to somehow accomplish.
And I was never quite clued in on exactly what that mission might [Bbm] have been.
[Eb] While Fleetwood Mac was on the verge of great success,
ex-guitarist Bob Welch had formed a band called Paris.
It had a very different sound to the old Fleetwood Mac.
I've had it to the breezes, but I ran into Don Juan.
[Ab] I'm broken, [Eb] whoa!
Boy, the first time everybody in Fleetwood Mac heard that,
they said, is this garbage you've done?
It's sort of like you've disgraced us with this aberration, with this thing.
