The Vaudeville Years of Fleetwood Mac 1968 to 1970 (or just The Vaudeville Years) is an album by British blues rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in 1998. It was a compilation of outtakes and unreleased tracks from the band's early line up, none of which had previously seen the light of day officially. Available on double vinyl LP and double CD, it came with a booklet of extensive notes and anecdotes (written by Martin Celmins),^[1] and was the companion volume to Show-Biz Blues: Fleetwood Mac 1968–70, which was released a few years later.

The release included songs originally intended for the second unreleased disc of Then Play On. These included tracks recorded by Jeremy Spencer. There was also a single live performance of 'Oh Well' with the rest of the collection filled out with various alternative takes of familiar Green, Spencer and Kirwan songs, including an alternative take of Peter Green's 'The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)'.^[2]

Lazy Poker Blues is a song by Peter Green recorded by him with Fleetwood Mac for their 1968 album Mr. The title and lyric serve as an innuendo for impotence. It is also one of two Fleetwood Mac songs to be covered by Status Quo.

'The Vaudeville Years' was reissued in 2008 as a double CD set with a single DVD, but without the extensive sleeve notes.
