Seen Danny play with the Mac at a blues festival in Droitwich in 1969...always remember Peter saying to Danny on stage when a solo was coming...Play boy...and stood back and let him rip...brilliant...we won't see the likes of the original Fleetwood Mac again
It’s a wonderful thing that so many people here are paying homage to Danny Kirwan, he is so deserving. Special credit goes to Peter who saw the talent in Danny and brought him into the fold of Fleetwood Mac.
I love Danny but there is no equal to the Green God, Peter Green. As good as Danny was he even knew he was no match to being an equal to Peter. This has always been one of my favorite Songs by Danny along with Coming Your Way . Even Jeremy had his own brand of brilliance. I felt that when Peter left that Jeremy carried the Kiln House LP and Danny carried the Bare Trees LP. Danny did disappoint on the notorious Then Play On LP by not delivering any songs that charted or were high points in concert. When Danny joined FM Peter wrote the hits on Then Play In and the singles Albatross which Danny helped make possible, Man Of The World, Oh Well, and the Green Manalishi. As great as Danny was backing Peter he could not fill the role he was brought into the band for, take some of the pressure off Peter to deliver all the hits. Peter remained the straw that stirred the drink. RIP Danny and Peter, best 1-2 punch in music.
@@davidbeckerich This. Peter, when in top form was untouchable. Sadly this top form was only for a fraction of the duration it should have been :( Danny was great in his own way but I never 'got' Jeremy. That is just my opinion.
@@A10011 Spencer dragged Fleetwood Mac down with his parodies and sloppy, uninspired, playing. I always fast forward past Spencer's tracks. It does not help his cause that he is now a member of a horrible, child-molesting, sex cult, and donates his earnings to them.
my all time favorite member,,,danny reached me with his guitar playing ,,,such a sweet melodic voice,,,,his songs stand out ,,,,he was a master,,,,i had always wished he would pick a guitar up just one last time ...R.I,P,danny...
As iv said in other posts....DANNY KIRWAN is the most OVERLOOKED,forgotten artist in music history...a DIAMOND ....in the rough...Long Live DANNY kirwan!
Danny Kirwan is forgotten now, by most people, but he WAS Fleetwood Mac after Peter Green left. He carried that band for a number of albums in the late sixties,early seventies, then he had a couple of solo albums. By 1972 he had lost it, really lost it. Gave up on life, it seems. But Danny had a truly superb touch on the guitar, singing and writing. I' really like to talk to him' if it were at all possible.
It's an incredibly sad story, I absolutely adore his playing and even his change for solo work, I like it better than Mac to be honest. What happened to Danny? Is he still homeless? There isn't much info on him....
The last I heard about Danny is, that is living somewhere in Denmark with his girlfriend, but yes, its a sad story. I saw him once with The Mac and it was incredible. Tks for your comment guys, we won't forget Danny!
I had the pleasure of spending a day with Pete green, and during a conversation I asked him to sign one of my albums “ Then play on “ I bought in 1969, and still have to this day, as I handed it to him he opened it up and said, “Crikey is that me ? “. (Looking at a photo of himself) I said, it most certainly is Peter.. he couldn’t believe how slim he looked.. anyway as he was signing it I said, I really like your guitar playing on this album, his reply was.. “Oh that ain’t me that’s all Danny ! “ typical Peter so humble he wouldn’t take anything from anyone.. I often wonder if it was Danny that inspired Peter’s style of playing.. that’s why they sounded so alike. !! As many ppl have said on here, Danny was such an underrated brilliant guitarist and I agree with all of you ! I hope there both jamming together now... RIP guy’s
Danny Kirwan is a absolute master guitar player and a great songwriter as well. I have never heard someone play like him, In my opinion an equal to the likes of Clapton, Green and onwards. Bless his soul!
Danny cried lovingly as a young blues guitarist. It is a quality of his that I sympathise with, as trying to play Danny's blissful songs to an audience will inevitably include tears . They are truly beautiful, and people in their 60's tend to cry more than teens. So, I just think danny is particularly blessed with a soul embraced very warmly by god
I never cried in my life, been playing the blues all of my life, now seventy odd years old, I'll be playing singing something from a long time ago and I have to quit,
Thank you for posting all these visual remembrances of Danny's genius and brilliance as a guitarist and vocalist. For me, he was the heart and soul of Fleetwood Mac and always will be. Gorgeous, haunting work-- this is his legacy. Rest in peace, #DannyKirwan. Forever missed and never forgotten.
I just came upon this today. I saw Danny/ F Mac in 68 with Peter G + Jeremy S. Again in 70 on the Kiln House tour. In 71 + 72 for Future Games + Bare Trees with Bob Welch. They played the best music as far as I was concerned. Every album different but consistantly great. For me their Golden Age was 1968/ 74. Sunny Side of Heaven is one of my all time favorite instrumentals. Ok I m done.
I was very influenced by this song but had always thought it was Kirwin singing & Green playing lead. I was very young and naïve but looking back this was the second song I ever tried to play and the 1st blues I ever learned almost 50 years ago...rip Danny
@@Newcastle423 There is nothing to match his vibrato cause he doesn't have one to match. Clapton's legacy is Beano-Marshall tone, Cream and Derek. After that it's like, meh.
If I could get my hands on the creeps in Munich who ruined his and Peters lives for ever and have never been caught or brought to book for what they did! Danny, your music lives on and is amazing...thank you! x
Danny Kirwan had his own unique take on the blues, which is what we hear with this tune. He was a very creative and clever songwriter capable of bringing pop and rock elements into the Mac without compromising the integrity of the band. Tunes like 'Jigsaw Puzzle Blues', 'Although The Sun is Shining', 'Bare Trees', 'Tell Me All the Things You Do' and 'Jewel Eyed Judy' are brilliant examples of Kirwan-isms that elevated the Mac to new heights. And there were those times when the chords and melodies were just so British...even pastoral on the likes of 'Earl Grey'. Also, until Danny's arrival, the majority of Peter Green's tunes were very derivative (dare I say ripoffs) of old blues tunes...12-bar blues shuffles with altered lyrics. But Danny's writing seemed to spark Green to aspire to better things, which is what we started to hear, most notably on 'Oh Well', an album that could have been the start of something great...had Peter not left. Still, 'Kiln House', 'Bare Trees' and 'Future Games' (with the wonderful 'Woman of a Thousand Years') stand tall as yet another side of the Mac, a band that has always been so much more than most critics and music fans will ever comprehend.
There was a reason Peter Green brought Danny into the band, giving the Mac three different lead guitarists. Critics thought it a crazy move. It was...crazy like a Fox.
Some say it was also a band decision by some members to help deflect the spotlight of attention from peter so danny cud take some of that fame heat on his young shoulders. some say it was a bit fast and waiting a year or so might have been less pressure psychologically, for danny. george best.
Kirwan and Green combo had the potential, and gave plenty of examples, to be one of the greatest guitar duos in rock history. Both were overflowing with talent. Green had a rich timbre rock voice, and Kirwan had a lead touch that puts him in the top 20 blues guitarists. Green's writing abilities were pure genius (ask Carlos Santana).
So were Danny's.....Little Child of Mine, Bare Trees, Tell Me All the Things You Do, Sunnyside of Heaven, Jeweled Eye Judy....the list is very long of Danny Kirwan contributions to FM.
@@bradleyj.anderson6398 He was 18 when he came into the Mac but he was 17 when he wrote this song, when he was in a band called Boilerhouse. There is an early version of it on a blues compilation CD, also called "Something Inside of Me".
@@vanu49 Hey Rob, as a thank you to posting my FM ( It Takes Time ) upload on the Peter Green face book page, I uploaded a rendition of this tune that you probably haven't heard before. Very powerful performance. It meant a lot to me for you to do that. It's a first for me too. thanks again.
I've been a fan of FM since 1970, when I first heard "Station Man" on Kiln House. I always thought of the Kirwan-Welch-Christine McVie group and especially "Kiln House" and "Bare Trees," as the finest FM there ever was. And "Mystery to Me" was a real accomplishment, too. I continued to listen to FM through "Tusk" and even Lindsay paid tribute to the old FM in live shows, doing "Station Man" and other classic FM tunes really quite soulfully. My thoughts are with you, Danny Kirwan. You really made a mark in this fellow's life.
Danny seems to be a lost gem in the history of rock...very sweet tone...not quite like Peter's but, beautiful...i know he fell on very hard times...would be comforting to know if he's receiving his just royalties...happy B-day coming up May 13 Danny!!!
On tour in Sweden danny tried to locate his father, a mr. Langran I believe. Kirwan is his stepfather's name or his mother's maiden name. His life is fascinating , even unknown as it is . This is a great new ( for me ) video / live song thanks
Thanx Vanu49 for your efforts and for giving props to Danny. Sometimes in the 2 guitar format or 3 in F M case one of them gets a little overlooked. Elvin Bishop and Dickie Betts come to mind. The other thing not talked about much is rythym guitar. Peter Green was an excellent rythm guy and can blow a mean harp too!! Thanx again Vanu. I think you have the best channel on you Tube..
He was amazing, best vibrato EVER. Silly to compare musicians, Green was just as amazing but different, and received more attention from the press. Imho Blues With a Feeling is his tour de force.
it was very much later, when I discovered, that all the time I was trying to emulate Danny Kirwan´s playing style and not Peter Green´s. Most people think it all was Peter Green, but they were 3 guitarists!
Well Jeremy was really a slide player and really took over in the later parts of their shows a lot with blues covers. Peter green was definitely the more complete player, don't think there's ever been a player with his control. Jams like the Madge sessions show Peters better grasp of the guitar and just blistering diversity. That being said, Danny is UNBELIEVABLE. Coming your way, child of mine, and especially the live in Boston "Only You" solo are some of my favorites.
One of the great things about Green was that he was anti-ego, and totally supportive of other peoples' talents. How many lead guitarist/singer/songwriters want to share the spotlight with two other frontmen, and name the band they started after the bassist and drummer? Green found Danny, and obviously recognized his talent, and wasted no time bringing him aboard. Danny was a true partner for Green, in ways that Spencer couldn't be. It is unfortunate that his star set so early, but at leave we some great recordings to remember him by.
I've always liked Danny's guitar tones on this of course but live and studio..... I wish Martin Birch would do a gear book on F-Mac and share some studio stories.
I have to admit this is a very piquant departure from his usual presentation of this number in both tone and feel. He was obviously moved by this song deeply in this performance. It is definitely different than it usually was as good as it always is...
Would it not be wonderful if all those music millionaires just got together and did what the Splinter Group did for Peter. What bliss to see them all together (a'la Led Zepplin and Cream) while we still can. There is just too much emotional memory in that history to just "let it die".
Richard, is Peter Green not playing here? Maybe I have mistaken Danny for him on "then Play On" I swear this is Peter? Wow if I'm wrong ( or not) Danny is just amazing LOVE his bending of strings and perfect soulfulness emotion on and on.....
Sometimes its a matter of luck to be remembered as a great. He happened to be in the shadow of Peter Green, but honestly I think he was at a similar level. You know what happens, once the fanboys have made their election, thay can't see anything past it.
Cant believe that P. Green got all the fame for his playing while this guy has 2 times the feel in his fingers plus a never heard sound. Still today I have nobody found that sounds like Danny Kirwan !!!! Unfair world
i was long time ron asheton fanatic (stooges), especially the second LP funhouse, what a tone! then the lead guitarist on their 3. LP was also insane now this with green and kirwan also same band, weird isnt it
For a little guitar playing fun check out the song “my dream” from the then play on LP. Find yourself a copy of a player by the name of Eddie Lang. See if you can determine the influences of Danny.
+Bob Hatcher, There is a clip here on youtube with the rest of the members of the band and they all state that they witnessed Danny and Peter taking the acid together and that was the beginning of the end in their words.
i think its a myth, many report live shows with green after that (supposed) event and state he was as good as before or better, so... and come on, as if he previously to that event didnt take stuff, an overdose would have made him much worse, he couldnt not play same level afterwards i think many are dissapointed that he left and also changed his style etc. too, that plays into it
As you can see from the replies above, there are conflicting reports. Not surprising, considering how many of the band and crew were drugged out of their minds, even if not necessarily on that particular occasion. Both Danny and Peter showed signs of mental illness even before that night, and the drug use and lack of treatment exacerbated the condition. And when you consider Jeremy's desertion of the band in order to join the Children of God, clearly you had a trio of seriously messed up, though talented, guitar players.
Seen Danny play with the Mac at a blues festival in Droitwich in 1969...always remember Peter saying to Danny on stage when a solo was coming...Play boy...and stood back and let him rip...brilliant...we won't see the likes of the original Fleetwood Mac again
I heard from a valid source Danny would often cry, almost breakout in tears during his solos.
It’s a wonderful thing that so many people here are paying homage to Danny Kirwan, he is so deserving.
Special credit goes to Peter who saw the talent in Danny and brought him into the fold of Fleetwood Mac.
👌 ditto...a special time in English Blues;
Danny+Peter
❤️ + ❤️
Actually it was Mick Fleetwood and Peter who got Danny Kirwan in the band
Yeah they got him in the band then fucked him up
Walked in the shadow of Peter, but an equally great guitarist, in his own right! R.I.P. Danny!

As always, just beautiful playing. So sweet, RIP Danny. You gave me great joy.
There's something inside of me, and it just won't go away. It's the blues I've had since hearing of Danny's death.
Damn, Danny! This one comes DAMN CLOSE to Peter’s 5-minute-long solo in their live performance of “I’ve Got A Mind To Give Up Living” in my book!
This really is the sweetest solo ever
Kirwan and Green brought out the best in each other.
Very touching blues of Danny....

I agree... the Danny Kirwan albums had this ethereal quality that just got to me.
God if only I could reach that standard of feeling..
killer vibrato, intense playing!!
Every Danny Kirwan song is gold, but I'm still in awe of Peter Green's taste in the background. He knows just when to play those little backing licks.
There was a reason Peter Green brought Danny into the band, giving the Mac three different lead guitarists. Critics thought it a crazy move. It was...crazy like a Fox.

Although, I wouldn't call this exactly "the sweetest guitar solo ever". Peter himself had plenty that might qualify for that label.

I have to admit this is a very piquant departure from his usual presentation of this number in both tone and feel. He was obviously moved by this song deeply in this performance. It is definitely different than it usually was as good as it always is...
His style reminds me very much of the playing of Kim Simmons of Savoy Brown fame.
Seen these guys at the East town ballroom in Detroit
Did you bring your smartphone to make recordings...:))
Little more than a schoolboy here but already a unique musical genius.
Well said, Bar!!
The one at 4:27 toward the end. She looked to me like she would be his wife. I've never seen a picture of Danny's wife and son and I was just hoping.
forgotten true guitarist with an abundance of talent....a rough diamond............wasted
RIP Danny, Christine and Bob Welsh🕊🕊🕊
Would it not be wonderful if all those music millionaires just got together and did what the Splinter Group did for Peter. What bliss to see them all together (a'la Led Zepplin and Cream) while we still can. There is just too much emotional memory in that history to just "let it die".
John Drum I totally agree that it would be great to let him know how he is so appreciated.... but how????
WOW just WOW starting @1:45
Richard, is Peter Green not playing here? Maybe I have mistaken Danny for him on "then Play On" I swear this is Peter? Wow if I'm wrong ( or not)
Danny is just amazing LOVE his bending of strings and perfect soulfulness emotion on and on.....
This is Danny, both singing and solo guitar.
Nice V. Thanks Ed (screwmaster404)
Pleasure is all mine buddy.
Have a nice day.
V.
What year is this? If its 69 Danny was just 18 years old, playing like a master. So gifted.
About 1969, yes!!
That vibrato at 2:33
Sometimes its a matter of luck to be remembered as a great. He happened to be in the shadow of Peter Green, but honestly I think he was at a similar level. You know what happens, once the fanboys have made their election, thay can't see anything past it.
yes, similar. no one is on the same level with Peter
Close, a great player,but imho, but not quite there as Peters equal...
Cant believe that P. Green got all the fame for his playing while this guy has 2 times the feel in his fingers plus a never heard sound. Still today I have nobody found that sounds like Danny Kirwan !!!! Unfair world
hes not better than peter green but very close
Not wanting to denigrate Danny......but you're having a laugh mate.
Sega Tortoise tell that to bb king who said he made a mistake on who it was
Don't worry pal, you just discovered Kirwan, that's all. It'll pass.
Even a guy as good as this can end up broke and on the street.
Anything can happen in life!
Gooooööd!!!!
Who did the graphics 4 this ? It's very nicely done. 🏆
I did. Thanks. Have a nice day!
@@vanu49 Wow! I bow 2 your expertise Squire!! 😄 Top bloomin' marks Sir 😁👍👍
@@ashfordartcornwall3790 You're very kind! Thanks again!
After 70's, the music died..
I'm sorry for you, 'coz there's a lot of good music, today and the days passed!!
1973 "them" took over
totally agree..
i was long time ron asheton fanatic (stooges), especially the second LP funhouse, what a tone!
then the lead guitarist on their 3. LP was also insane
now this with green and kirwan also same band, weird isnt it
where are his both gibson les paul guitars his black triple pickups les paul custom and the sunburst standard
For a little guitar playing fun check out the song “my dream” from the then play on LP. Find yourself a copy of a player by the name of Eddie Lang. See if you can determine the influences of Danny.
He had an excellent vibrato similar to Magic Sam's. Google Moles Blues by Magic Sam.
No escuché a ningún otro guitarrista tocar con el vibrato de DK. Nadie absolutamente.
Which came first, this or “Since I’ve been loving you “ by you know ,that other British guitarist. Did JP borrow this too ?
Is it certain that the guitar playing here is Kirwan and not Peter Green?
Yes, it is.
Yep, sweet...

Were Danny and Peter fed that acid in Germany together? Any body know?
+Bob Hatcher, There is a clip here on youtube with the rest of the members of the band and they all state that they witnessed Danny and Peter taking the acid together and that was the beginning of the end in their words.
i think its a myth, many report live shows with green after that (supposed) event and state he was as good as before or better, so...
and come on, as if he previously to that event didnt take stuff, an overdose would have made him much worse, he couldnt not play same level afterwards
i think many are dissapointed that he left and also changed his style etc. too, that plays into it
As you can see from the replies above, there are conflicting reports. Not surprising, considering how many of the band and crew were drugged out of their minds, even if not necessarily on that particular occasion.
Both Danny and Peter showed signs of mental illness even before that night, and the drug use and lack of treatment exacerbated the condition. And when you consider Jeremy's desertion of the band in order to join the Children of God, clearly you had a trio of seriously messed up, though talented, guitar players.
Danny boy
When was this?
1969.
