A shadow of the musician he might have been. My god listen to that, it's absolutely horrible. Don't put your life, your sanity in the hands of some basement chemist making LSD it's Russian roulette with a drug.
Saw this band in 1998 in Cleveland - small club. They tore it up - Peter was in top form. Only time I got to see him. He signed my ticket before the show. It was his first US show since 1971. When he got on stage I said "Welcome back, Peter!" And he said, "Oh, I ain't been nowhere."
Such a sad loss you had that style new straight away who it was not over done all the notes in the right place and so smooth playing and wrote some great songs rip pete 🙏
What made me happier more than anything was to see Peter smile playing the solo hes been through so much cruel times and hasnt had an easy life was just great to see him play an amazing solo and smile
I Believe in Miracles! Listen to the Resurrection of Peter Green! And They thought that Pete was crazy! Pete just had the Blues for Real! But in the End he put his signature on a Happy, Joyful Jam!
This to Daniel Benson below. I ran into BB King on a flight out of Las Vegas and he remembered me as someone who knew Peter Green. King told me that he ran into Peter earlier in the year (before Peter's return to music), and asked when he could hear Peter play again. Peter responded that no one would care to hear him anymore. King corrected Peter and told him, "I would." Green then returned (with the Splinter Group), but in a sad homage to Peter's own prediction, I went to see him at the BB King Club in Times Square NYC. It was a two set gig. The club had to pay (read "beg") in free drinks the few people who showed up for the first set to stay for the second as there was no queue of people for the second set. The master of blues guitar playing and the founder of Fleetwood Mac had been entirely forgotten in the Big Apple. All five of us who loved his blues playing wept. The remainder of the audience were young guys on dates with young girls who had never heard of Peter Green. One girl did say to her boyfriend that "Albatross" was a beautiful tune. It was sad, man!
this is one of my favorite freddie king songs! and i gotta tell you.. after researching the peter green story. watching this brings tears to my eyes go peter green! you are a legend! you're playing has inspired many!
A boatload of anti psychotic medications and years of electroshock therapy and the man can still stand sing and play is a testament to how truly huge his bag was in the early days. .
He's the Green God!!! I dare anyone else finding a white musician playing the blues like he does. His sound and intensity can put in his pockets Clapton, Vaughan, etc. Since I discovered him he's in my favourite playlist big time!!!
Claro, estoy de acuerdo. Peter Green fue grande y el mejor guitarrista que John Mayal tuvo. Clapton por supuesto es bueno, pero no excelente como Peter Green. Clapton es mejor para la mayoria en el mundo pero esto por la prensa, la TV, revistas, etc.. Saludos Marco desde Morelia, Michoacan Mexixo.
Neil Murray (the bass player) said if Peter was in a good mood he'd coast during a gig. If he was in a bad moodyou'd get a good performance from him. I can only assume Pete was pretty pissed off in spite of the smiling and looking like he's enjoyijng himself, cos his solos are brilliant on this!
The version of this song (written by Don Nix) that I am most familiar is Jeff Beck's from his "Orange Album." Steve Cropper produced that album and recounted a story of sitting in the sound booth listening and watching Beck and being flabbergasted. Beck was using a tiny amp and Cropper said, "you just can't get that sound at that position on the guitar." These days I listen much more to Peter Green than Jeff Beck, and I love his take on this song. I listen to live versions of "Underway" for example and am awed by the touch and sound of Peter Greens playing.
We lost a great one today. RIP Peter 7.25.20
L I S T E N UP...one of the greatest blues scientists. RIP

I am so glad that Pete made it back to being what he always was in his heart - a Bluesman!
Such a great song played such a great guitarist

This is the best comment on here. It's a real shame how it all panned out.
Как жалко, что его с нами нет.
Very good feeling!

@will simmons No,, i'm not.
@will simmons You are one of those who do not think and who say what others think. It is normal in most people in the world.
@will simmons if you do not think then you do not feel .... think, think, think. I said it, you're the most not smart
You're ridiculously ignorant.
wowww!!
"Going Down" was originally recorded by American band Moloch in 1969.
Neil Murray (the bass player) said if Peter was in a good mood he'd coast during a gig. If he was in a bad moodyou'd get a good performance from him. I can only assume Pete was pretty pissed off in spite of the smiling and looking like he's enjoyijng himself, cos his solos are brilliant on this!
If Peter had not had a breakdown he would have been the great guitarist ever legend rip in peace my man

The difference between Clapton and Greeny is that the People Love Greeny!
Nothing wrong with his playing on this one!
Yes there certainly is something wrong with his playing. It would be an insult to say this is a good example of Peter Green's playing.
I don't think that Peter was too interested in the songs that were written for him. He seems to play better on blues classics like this one.
I notice everyone up against the stage are guys by themselves. Kinda like Green himself. Probably all guitar nerds.
Was actually written by Don Nix, not Freddie King.
He wouldnt express anger with words but with notes! haha
