Peter Green lifted Fleetwood Mac to a whole new level which they never achieved again. He brought a rare visceral raw spiritual honesty to the band and we should be all feel blessed that he graced the rock n roll world with his stellar talent.
Absolutely! 🙌 I personally think he was the BEST blues guitarist Britain ever produced (yes, I think Peter was a better blues guitarist than Eric Clapton).
BB King said Peter Green was the only one who gave him the cold chills, and that's good enough for me. I'm old enough to remember Fleetwood Mac playing Albatross on Top of the Pops.
@@jeremybennoch4338 No, Peter was not a member of The Yardbirds. The only band that both Eric Clapton and Peter Green played in (at different times though) was John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Eric Clapton joined the Bluesbreakers after he quit The Yardbirds, and when Clapton quit the Bluesbreakers, Peter was his replacement. The iconic Yardbirds guitarist trio was Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page-Peter Green was NEVER in The Yardbirds, nor did he ever play on any of their songs.
I wish Peter had never gone to Munich and took that L.S.D. it spoiled a great, great , enormous talented genius who knows what he could have achieved in his career what a tragedy it was for him and all of us fans. R.I.P. THE GREAT PETER GREEN.
Peter Green has passed. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. The first time I heard this it was the Judas Priest cover and I thought it was great. Then I heard Peter Green playing it and the song took on a whole new life. I really love this song and am grateful Peter Green wrote something so ethereal for us to enjoy.
Peter Green will always be my number one source of musical inspiration. What a talent, and what a gift to us. Rest in peace, dear Peter. And thank you.
I'm the exact same. Was my all time favorite Priest song as a teen. Then I head the Fleetwood Mac version, and you know, I thought it was totally different, but equally great!
The raw feel and emotion that Peter Green put into it cannot be duplicated by anyone. This song was crushingly heavy by 60's standards and is still much heavier than the Judas Priest cover. I love Priest's version of this song and they can usually elevate any song they cover to make it better but they failed to do that in this instance. Peter Green cannot be replaced or topped.
This is probably the darkest a rock song has ever got ...glad I´m not alone in sensing this. To most people it´s just some notes with some guy made "crazy " (lol ) by having toured with The Grateful Dead and all that circunstancial bs ...
My generation that were teenagers in the late 60's, early 70's with having all these great bands and musicians with the calibre of Peter Green. Boy were we the lucky generation. And no ugly technology or CCTV eirher. It was total freedom 🤗🎸🌃
I saw these guys live in 1969, Houston TX. Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwin. The original FW. Awesome blues band!
In the space of a couple of years, you got Black Magic Woman, Albatross, Man of the World, Need your love so bad, Oh well 1 and 2 and this. All timeless brilliance, Peter and Danny RIP to both

"Greatest Song" is such an individual perspective thing. . .a good friend swore that Robin Trowers' "Bridge of Sighs" was it. Both songs are totally "one of the greatest," but I think that we can agree the Lipps Inc. interpretation of "Funky Town: is the gold standard in song. . . at least between the middle ages through current times. Tongue-in-cheek, but it IS my guilty plerasure ;)

I don't know about greatest song ever, but greatest guitarist ever is certainly right. Now if only we could clear his head of marijuana, alcohol, and LSD along with the concept of giving up all money and joining a hippie commune there in Sweden where he blacked out and went into complete psychosis just after this performance. Then we could have really found out what a guitar could have been capable of being.
Underrated?No way! If BB King writes the foreword in your biography, you are on Mt Olympus, in the Pantheon, up there with all the Becks,Breaus,Pass,Hendrix, etc…..
Hell yeah, Priest performs it very well too. How do you like Diamonds and Rust by them ? Man, getting old I can see that I started to look like a vampire like them. Body becoming garbage but thanks that soul remaining still young listening to these great guys...
Yes, this version is so much better. Despite the fact that Priest is an actual heavy metal band, this version is so much heavier. The Peter Green era is my favorite era of Fleetwood Mac.
What I remember from this era is that Fleetwood Mac was Peter Green(the soul), Mick Fleetwood and John McVie(the rhythm) accompanied by Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan on guitars. They were and still are a great band.
Three brilliant British blues-rock guitarists unselfishly and seamlessly sharing lead and vocals - no prima donna egos - even from the generous incomparable Peter Green
I saw them performing this live at the Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne Switzerland in very early February or March in 1970; to a half empty luxurious hall. The audience had been seated according to the price of our payed entry ticket but upon the realization that most of seats had remained empty because of that fact Peter Green decided to allow the whole crowd to ignore the ‘rules of the house’ and to chooze to sit wherever they wished ; needless to say the whole crowd moved up close to the performing band and in this way communicated their affection and appreciation of the group. Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green gave that night one of the best rendition of “the green Manalishi” ever; I shall never forget!
Three minutes in and Green gives a master class,his tone brings tears,so much soul.For me he was and still is the greatest British blues player EVER...forget Clapton(although i love his stuff) Peter is the man.
BB King once said, of all the White Blues players, P. Green was the only one that gave him "cold sweats..." Clapton was great, but no-one had such soulful intensity as P.Green. . . and not a single wasted note.
Unfortunately they both went the same way. Tanked in the early seventies because of drugs. Neither of them were ever the same. Danny and Jeremy too actually. It happened to many. Kossoff. More and more names come to me. Don't do drugs.
@@zeuhltube "Child of Mine" off BareTrees and "Jewel Eyed Judy" off Kiln House. "Station Man" too. They way they put pretty melodies together with powerful guitar was unique, there never was anything else quite like it. And it ages rather well.
I guess Peter Green is just another criminally, absurdly, underated guitarist in the Rock and Roll of Fame since 1998. It's more accurate to say he wasn't a household name, just like many other great guitarists who are called " underrated " in the TH-cam pantheon of rating experts.
Better management . Great music in United States. But they were being used by the music industry. Bands played record companies got rich, musicians got checks.. in UK. Bands got famous. Played, made records, got rich. Record companies got checks. All management
Love ❤️ Peter Greens voice and guitar 🎸 playing it’s everything! I’m 71 and been listening/ playing this all my life and never tire of it. It still Rocks !!
I'm nearly 70, and remember the first time it was played on the radio in my parents home. You'd have thought the devil had made a personal appearance at Sunday dinner. I loved it, but was a solo thing.
This is an absolutely stunning song - full of atmosphere and passion, and brilliant playing. The later FM weren’t a patch on this lineup - without Peter Green, how could they be?
I wouldn’t say that . Just a different version with Christine M , Stevie. And Lindsay but still they did some pioneering of their own between the pop hits . Think Tusk with USC Trojan band
He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen or heard. I wish I could go back in time and stop him going to that house in Munich. We lost the most talented musician the world has ever seen.
Siân Ishmael the munich party didn’t wreck him. he was just mentally ill. danny kirwan, interestingly, was arguably even worse off than green, and yet there’s not much mention of him.
Steve Davis .... The Munich incident didn’t help him or Kirwan. Mick, Jeremy and John all agreed that whatever they took sent them both deeper into loopyville. That entire story of the Munich entities is trippy, their ties to Beider Meinhoff etc. no matter what, Greeny and Kirwan would have been much better off not frying what little grey matter they had left.
You are looking at a recording less than 10 days after the Munich party. Peter walked away from that party fine. He just exposed the rest of the band, and they were scared.
@@richardjohnson7379He said he's “the only living guitarist to make me sweat" and that he had "the sweetest tone I've ever heard.” That's a compliment of his playing.
Brilliant song by a brilliant guitar player. This was the beginning of the end for the original and only FM. First Peter, then Jeremy, then Danny all had their issues and left. I believe this was the first group to feature 3 guitarists.
Sometimes you hear a guitarist play so emotionally and heart-wrenching you feel like they could completely control you if they wanted to. Peter was one of those guys for me
WELL DUH! This was the REAL Fleetwood Mac. Not that bubble gum fucking garbage with that trench Stinky Nix. When she "sings" she sounds like Kate Hepburn having a stroke. HAH ha
When I was a teenager back in the 80s I showed interest in learning to play guitar. The first person who gave me advice was a worker in the local youth club. He happened to be a childhood friend of the great man himself and turned us on to his playing saying that you need look no further for feel technique and tone and he was 100% right. Peter was just starting to get help with his personal issues at the time and stan took a couple of us to meet him. Being so young I didn't fully appreciate the significance or opportunity of the meeting and I remember him playing a little bit but he had a thing about cutting his finger nails and that they were so long it hindered his playing but what really did stay with me was his warm and gentle nature a really lovely soul got the feeling that he felt he wasn't worthy of his own talent but of course I could be way off
Greeny as it best!!! I really love Peter Greens songs- They are so unique, and bringing me down immediatly. Maybe its only the sweet tone thing…. For me its magic….. RIP Peter, I miss you.
Peter Green will always be my number one source of musical inspiration. What a talent, and what a gift to us. Rest in peace, dear Peter. And, thank you.
The greatest Mac line up doing their greatest song, brilliant. Imagine how great this band would have become if Green, Kirwan and Spencer hadn't been got at.
I am 56 years old I’ve been playing the Judas Priest version of that song forever I did not even know that the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Greene even wrote that song! It is so much classier than the Judas Priest version I am thoroughly impressed! Of course nothing against Judas Priest!
Powerful tube amps, raw lyrics and live, one take, no wonder why Peter made so much money, what an artistic performance, never to be duplicated by current acts on prime time tv ever again, at that time you actually had to be talented to get recognized.
Ironically enough, Peter left the band because the rest of the band refused to give away their money like he was doing. This song (The Green Manalishi) is actually about an LSD-induced nightmare Peter had of a green dog with horns that relentlessly barked at him and attacked him. In his nightmare the dog symbolized the evils of money, and from that time forward, Peter wanted NOTHING to do with any money that seemed more than enough for him to survive on. Ofc a lot of his reasoning for doing some of the odd things that he did (he pulled a gun out on a guy who was trying to deliver a royalty check to him in 1977) were due to delusions and auditory hallucinations that were a part of Schizophrenia (which he was diagnosed with). Excess drug use, stress, and random genetic susceptibility will get you that (“that” as in the development of a lifelong psychotic disorder).

On the other hand, without JP I wouldn't have ever imagined that Mac was once that great. So, thanks to JP for introducing me to P.Green's Mac.
People tend to forget what Jeremy Spencer added to the band he was just as an important member as the rest. The band was a complete unit music wise.

Never lost reverence for the source material.

Raw and dark, what a great song. Proto-Metal
RIP PETER GREEN!!! one of the best musicians to walk the earth

The PROPER Fleetwood Mac
John Lennon said, all our wealth and we can't make a single that sounds as good as The Green Manalishi
Raymantico he was right
Raymantico genuinely interested, where did he say that?
Who knows. Big fan I guess
Raymantico he was right
Wise words
This is one of Mac's greatest ever songs and I'm sad to hear Peter Green has died Yet another great legend gone too soon!
This guitar solo is one if not the most emotional and greatest guitar solos ever easy
Rtpgreen GOD............i. cried when I was told about his passing
This is rock at it's very best. Peter Green was without doubt a rock superstar!
Brilliant! The later 60's/early 70's were by far the best years for real music there's ever been..
Phaedra Collins fantastic years i was 17 in 1970 lived through a fabulous era...😉
@@Falco45able Yeah..it was great to be young then.
Agree.. I always say this.
Me too M8.
May, 1954 :)
Brilliant song by a brilliant guitar player. This was the beginning of the end for the original and only FM. First Peter, then Jeremy, then Danny all had their issues and left. I believe this was the first group to feature 3 guitarists.
Jeremy is still with us! Isn’t he?
Not sure if you meant passed, apologies if you didn’t 👍
Sometimes you hear a guitarist play so emotionally and heart-wrenching you feel like they could completely control you if they wanted to. Peter was one of those guys for me
Goodbye to the sweetest tone guitarist ever.
Danny Kirwan played a pretty big part in this recording and many others, give credit where it is due.
Yeah, if that '59 Gibson Les Paul could talk...oh wait, it can!
Peter never stole the lime light from anyone in the band. So good a guitarist.
Rumours has it that this was the best Fleetwood Mac line-up ever.
thats not rumours, thats true after green left , all go down hill ( pop music)
WELL DUH! This was the REAL Fleetwood Mac. Not that bubble gum fucking garbage with that trench Stinky Nix. When she "sings" she sounds like Kate Hepburn having a stroke. HAH ha
That’s a top shelf pun
jaycockah Appreciate that!
@@jaycockah it really is
First there was Jimmy hendrix and then Peter Green absolutely awesome
No body can play this great song like Fleetwood Mac the late greats Peter Green @ Danny Irwin BLESS THEM BOTH AND THANK YOU BOTH.
Played a combination of Rock, Blues, all with great lyrics and by a great Band. Peter Green very underrated sadly missed, musician! .
Peter greens guitaring is haunting ...such a great lost talent
R I P Mr Green thank you for the rifts and classic songs
So incredible to see Danny and Peter jamming here. Many thanks!
Saw them at the Tolworth Toby Jug pub sometime in the 60s.Fabulous!
Me too lol
Thank goodness for old videos of pure talent - I can be 24 again..
R.I.P Peter Green. He deserved so much more credit than given
This song is not as dark as people want it to be. It’s just fantastic!”
I agree with yo very much !!! But it tells us about money and how greedy people can get , just like the greenmanilishi (hindufemale)
When I was a teenager back in the 80s I showed interest in learning to play guitar. The first person who gave me advice was a worker in the local youth club. He happened to be a childhood friend of the great man himself and turned us on to his playing saying that you need look no further for feel technique and tone and he was 100% right. Peter was just starting to get help with his personal issues at the time and stan took a couple of us to meet him. Being so young I didn't fully appreciate the significance or opportunity of the meeting and I remember him playing a little bit but he had a thing about cutting his finger nails and that they were so long it hindered his playing but what really did stay with me was his warm and gentle nature a really lovely soul got the feeling that he felt he wasn't worthy of his own talent but of course I could be way off
Creep show
Greeny as it best!!! I really love Peter Greens songs- They are so unique, and bringing me down immediatly. Maybe its only the sweet tone thing…. For me its magic….. RIP Peter, I miss you.
Scariest tune ever. Makes me do things I dont want to.
Like tidying your room?
All to do with.. Green Manalishi = Greenbacks - His distaste for money at the time and what money could make you do.
RIP Peter Green, devastated.
Peter Green came from another sphere. How fantastic he was jeeezzz
What a shame for Peter green and Danny kirwan that they couldn’t keep it together. Talented dudes.
Oh for those days when Fleetwood Mac were a proper band great track
One of the greatest yet darkest songs ever written
This is freakin amazing!!!
Danny Kirwan, the forgotten man of British Blues.
This song had an immense effect on me the first time I heard it. Thank you Peter Green. RIP.

Same here the solo is perfection. So dark and full of emotion.
I am so glad I grew up with this ringing in my ears as a 15 year old in London...What a wonderful line-up Peter, Danny and Jeremy made...
one of the greatrockbands all time!!!!
This song is a dream...
RIP MR GREEN brought this as a 45 when I was 15 just had to dig it out put it on the turntable and wack the volume up...
When the day goes to sleep and the Full Moon looks
The night is so black, that the darkness cooks!
Peter Green will always be my number one source of musical inspiration. What a talent, and what a gift to us. Rest in peace, dear Peter. And, thank you.
Mick and John, drums and bass behind two yes two super groups. Legends!
The greatest Mac line up doing their greatest song, brilliant. Imagine how great this band would have become if Green, Kirwan and Spencer hadn't been got at.
Great songs never die. This is one of them. Oh yeah. 😁👍🍺
ONE OF THE BEST ON THIS PLANET----R I BLUES P
One of my favourite Fleetwood Mac tunes by the original and best FM imho.
This the real Fleetwood Mac❤
Great solo, wonderful tone, elegant ideas, no shredding.
RIP to The Green God and Danny!
Seeing colors in black and white. God bless Peter Green. Excellent tone
What a band, Peter green was one of the best.
Him, Gary Moore, Rory Gallaghe & SRV.
They all blow Hendrix away.
_the night is so black that the darkness cooks_
Oh my God, this is true rock masterpiece. RIP Peter in Green Heaven
What else can I say tje music says it all brilliant 👏 bravo these were the times 1960s/70s
THIS is Fleetwood Mac.
I am 56 years old I’ve been playing the Judas Priest version of that song forever I did not even know that the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Greene even wrote that song! It is so much classier than the Judas Priest version I am thoroughly impressed! Of course nothing against Judas Priest!
Powerful tube amps, raw lyrics and live, one take, no wonder why Peter made so much money, what an artistic performance, never to be duplicated by current acts on prime time tv ever again, at that time you actually had to be talented to get recognized.
Ironically enough, Peter left the band because the rest of the band refused to give away their money like he was doing. This song (The Green Manalishi) is actually about an LSD-induced nightmare Peter had of a green dog with horns that relentlessly barked at him and attacked him. In his nightmare the dog symbolized the evils of money, and from that time forward, Peter wanted NOTHING to do with any money that seemed more than enough for him to survive on. Ofc a lot of his reasoning for doing some of the odd things that he did (he pulled a gun out on a guy who was trying to deliver a royalty check to him in 1977) were due to delusions and auditory hallucinations that were a part of Schizophrenia (which he was diagnosed with). Excess drug use, stress, and random genetic susceptibility will get you that (“that” as in the development of a lifelong psychotic disorder).
RIP Peter. I wish I had been able to tell you more about what your music meant to me.
that Guitar solo is next level
