Station Man
I've been waiting
Can you tell me
When we're leaving
Midnight train
Now is leaving
Engine screaming
ah, ah
ah, ah
ah, ah
ah, ah
Where I'm going I don't know
But you tell me I must go
When we're leaving I don't know
But you tell me now
I see it's coming
And bringing something
This train of lovin'
I see it's comin'
I feel it's runnin'
This train of lovin'
From ages past

Mystery to Me is also killah. Got that brand new, with two of three other new albums in college in a barter arrangement. Dexter Dingo, if you're out there, I still appreciate those albums!
Love this iteration of Mac.
Best album of them for me.
Just doesn't get old.

Danny Kirwan had it going on, didn't he?

Love this era of FM but can't think of another band that had 3 great guitarists completely lose their shit.
When Lindsey left, I did too! Capitol D in dysfunctional band!

I struggle to understand how someone can be a fan of RP's eclectic mix and at the same time rate this as a 1 or a 2.

Green had left the band. The two guitarists are Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan.

“ A DJ that scored lots of great new stuff from the UK and played it between midnight and 5am. The likes of The Fall. Magazine. Gang of four. Killing joke. Mekons. Psychedelic furs and others. Saved my bloody life. A few years ago “
A nice selection there! Could be some tasty “new” grist for the mill, Bill....

Strange you would mention working in a boilerhouse. Danny Kirwan, the fellow who wrote, sang on and played most of the guitar on this incredible tune, played in a band called Boilerhouse before Peter Green took notice and invited him to join Fleetwood Mac.
Yes sir I like it . The stuff before they went off. In the late 70s I did nightshifts alone in a boilerhouse with only an old valve radio for company which had only 1 non classical music station and I remember desperate nights of being subjected to the likes of Leo sayer billy Joel the "new"Fleetwood Mac etc etc. Then a couple of years later a miracle. A DJ that scored lots of great new stuff from the UK and played it between midnight and 5am. The likes of The Fall. Magazine. Gang of four. Killing joke. Mekons. Psychedelic furs and others. Saved my bloody life. A few years ago I managed to contact that maverick and very popular DJ Barry Jenkin. He had been out of the industry a long time but I was stunned when he told me he didn't listen to music at all anymore !!! I told him about RP and to listen in. He told me someone else had suggested it too. So let's hope RP got him listening again eh.

I cannot even imagine 'not listening to music' anymore. I would undoubtedly fall into great despair. Music is the ultimate gift to my senses. It nourishes my mind and connects me with my spirit murr69st335 wrote:

Still a great band!! But, quite a different sound from their early stuff! Still give them mad props, for hanging in there for so long!
Love Fleetwood's bass.
Reminds me of some early Joe Walsh.

with a splash of Wishbone AshDanny Kirwan brought both crunch and sweetness to FMac with his lead guitar work and his songs. Check out his work on Future Games especially. A highlight. Underappreciated and due to his personal problems, not around as a contributor long enough.
Love this iteration of Mac.

I like this, sounds more like Crazy Horse and The Band mixed together and I saw below, yea, Joe Walsh.

Wow is this fantastic song

Kurt - check out Amazon
Why is this album not available on itunes? Kinda hard to support RP when material is beyond reach.

'Round the last time FM was worth a damn...
Thought this was Tragically Hip until I looked on the RP playlist. Didn't realize Fleetwood Mac could have been such a good jam band.
Hmmmnnn, don't really care for this one — sounds too much like the Rolling Stones to me.
This was fantastic and turned my head in 1970 and it is fantastic now - thanks Bill.

Try the Amazon CD button on the song page. It´s only seven and a half bucks, and Radio Paradise gets a bit of that as a kickback for putting up the link. I picked up the CD like that. It's great music, especially for the road.
Wonderful, love it, just great. The whole album.
Does anyone know if this is available for (legal) download anywhere? i couldn't find it on napster, rhapsody, itunes, or even spotify. Lost my vinyl; now the only place I'll ever hear it is Radio Paradise!

I forgot about this song! Love it.

Mick FLEETWOOD & John M(A)Cvie, a great rhythm section, indeed!
Very recognizable rhythm section, I suddenly realize. It's been with Fleedwood Mac from the start and played with some of the greatest musicians, I think. Everything around them changed but they, pretty much, remained the same.Edited By Johray63 at 2:27 am on 3/30/2002

The MAC ! 
MAJOR flashback. only on RP!
Wow these guys were good - back then
Great song from a Great Album.
A listenable tune, though, \"Mystery to Me\" is my fave. Any Fleetwood Mac before the invasion of the bottle snatcher (Stevie Nicks) is just fine. \"Rumors\" is the most over-played, over-hyped album of its time.
Hey, don\'t feel too bad. This is the first time I heard this song and I also thought it was the Stones.
Oh my, I just realized that my whole life (which is becoming more considerable amount each year) I thought this was a Rolling Stones song.
That\'s another thing about middle age. You realize how very wrong you can be. And, it cracks you up. Amazing.
I appreciate Mick Fleetwood more all the time - this is cool.

Never heard this before. Excellent music.
keep on playing FMs less well known songs.
this album started, what i think, is the most interesting period of fleetwood mac. most assurdly, the most under- played and underrated era of their music. starting with \"kiln house\" in \'70, \"future games in \'71, \"bare trees\" in \'72, \"penguin\"& \"mystery to me\" in \'73 and heroes are hard to find in \'74, there is alot of really great music that never gets heard. thanks bill for chipping away at that big piece of music that never gets played.
I gotta say... this is the first Fleetwood Mac tune I\'ve heard in years that didn\'t have me reaching for the dial to flee to another station (or the mouse to flee to another web broadcast in this case ;) ) not entirely unlikeable.

"Nightshifts in a boilerhouse'? Funny that Danny Kirwan, the composer, singer and guitar player in this song, played in a band called Boilerhouse before joining Peter Green et al.
