The Chain // Fleetwood Mac
This song sticks in my mind though being just one of the best-ever played live. It wasn’t by Fleetwood themselves, but through an onstage jam of Mumford & Sons, Vampire Weekend, Ben Howard and Bear’s Den. On a hot summer’s day at the unorthodox venue of London’s Olympic Park, it was truly superb. And despite its personal significance for me, it’s also an excellent song – achieving perfectly the oft-replicated technique of sectioning off the song into different parts. Someone once told me it’s the most-played guitar solo ever. It’s also sampled in the BBC Formula One theme music. I’m all out of facts about it.
