The initial incarnation of Fleetwood Mac performed its first gig in August 1967 at the seventh annual [[National Jazz and Blues Festival|Windsor Jazz and Blues Festival]], playing a Chicago-style blues.<ref>Carroll (2004), p. 21.</ref> McVie, initially hesitant to commit, was later prompted to leave the Bluesbreakers and join Fleetwood Mac full-time when the former adopted a horns section with which he disagreed.<ref>Carroll (2004) p. 22.</ref> He replaced the initial bassist, [[Bob Brunning]]. McVie, Fleetwood, Green and guitarist [[Jeremy Spencer]] thus formed the first fixed line-up of Fleetwood Mac.<ref>Carroll (2004) p. 23.</ref>

The band's first album, ''[[Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac]]'', was released in 1968, and the band toured the United States for the first time, though Green was reluctant to do so for fear of [[gun crime]].<ref>Carroll (2004) p. 24.</ref> Upon their return, they recorded a second album, ''[[Mr. Wonderful (Fleetwood Mac album)|Mr. Wonderful]]'' under simply "Fleetwood Mac" with Green's name dropped.<ref>Carroll (2004) p. 25.</ref> A guest musician on the album, [[Christine McVie|Christine Perfect]], became close with the group. She and McVie married in 1968. A third guitarist, [[Danny Kirwan]], was also added to the line-up. Despite the success of their third album, ''[[Then Play On]]'', and a string of hit singles including "[[Albatross (instrumental)|Albatross]]" and "[[Man of the World (song)|Man of the World]]", Green himself drifted away from the band, struggling both creatively and with increasing use of [[LSD]].<ref>Brackett (2007) p.&nbsp;35–36.</ref>
