"Dragonfly" was the first single released by Fleetwood Mac after the departure of original band leader Peter Green, and the addition of Danny Kirwan saw the group moving away from their blues roots into a psychedelic direction. The studio version of "Dragonfly" is great, but pales in comparison to this brilliant performance from German Television program Beat Club. Fleetwood Mac has never sounded so lush; this could easily be a Pink Floyd track from the same era. The band would produce several quality albums during the remainder of the Danny Kirwan era and on through the Buckingham/Nicks era, but "Dragonfly" is an overlooked dreamy classic and pinnacle for Mick Fleetwood's rotating lineup.
