The Supernatural - Peter Green with The Splinter Group

- This is a clip from a concert shown on German TV in 1998.
Even after all he has gone through, Peter Green still has magic in his fingers.
The piece was written by Peter and first recorded while with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in the sixties. The original recording of this groundbreaking instrumental can be found on the album "A Hard Road".
If you're new to Peter Green, and you like what you hear on this track, I suggest you listen to all of his work with the band Fleetwood Mac, which he founded in 1967 and stayed with until 1970. During this period they played some of the best British blues and blues rock ever recorded.
But Peter Green is not only a unique guitarist and an accomplished songwriter (with songs such as "Black Magic Woman" to his credit), in those days he was also an outstanding vocalist - just listen to tracks like "Stop Messin' Round" or, in an entirely different vein, "Man Of The World". - เพลง
That he's not sitting alone in a home filled to the brim with anti-psychotics is enough for me. His playing here, while restrained compared to the Peter of old, is still haunting and soulful. The man's contribution to British Blues and the guitar are enormous. His story is moving, cautionary but ultimately inspirational. Love you Peter!!!!
Oh man, what a beautiful comment.

Absolutely! That single paragraph was a beautiful 'riff' in itself. Wish I could express my thoughts so succinctly. Kudos to SCundo.
Restrained? Some loser, like you, always has to find something to moan about.
@@CooManTunes don''t think he was moaning, just stating his opinion, whilst still being positive about what peters doing here.
Restrained as in that he is working within the piece and not for rock n roll purposes, committing to all the feedback and giving an adrenaline fueled bursting performance is a different era for him. Restrained as in this is a creative piece not a spontaneous bit of blues myth. Just the mind and soul of Peter Green, encompassing more of a great contemporary piece and his band then styling in a more jazz like regard. I liked your comment very much
Schizophrenia is an awful burden to carry and I speak from experience, I've been on anti psychotic meds since I was 22 years old and I'm now 56.
Isolation is a reality but I'm glad Peter found his skill again and knew that people still loved him and cared that he was all right.
As a musician he was peerless, and as a human being he was blessed.
God rest him in Heaven.
R.I.P Mr. Peter Green. One of the greatest guitarists ever. You will be dearly missed.
A lot of people talk shit here and I can bet that they can't play fucking "smoke on the water" . This man went through hell and back .Far away from his prime times but his guitar playing it's still beautiful . Takes courage and whole a lot of it to take the guitar again and to play whilst carrying all that shit decades ago .We should be thankful that he's alive , recovering and playing from time to time.
Wel said Ryuobbi
I "KNOW" how I feel when I hear art and the chills,smiles and joyous tears I've experienced listening to Peter Green playing straight from the heart and soul of a person blessed by the creator. Thru the years the "blues musicians " (please forgive my political fuck up)were mostly black. Peter could and seemingly effortlessly hold his own and more....... PG has the soul and funk EC don't and won't have !! God Bless Peter Green and us all, Peace
Well said, Ryoubbi. I won't look for negativity but have played Smoke in a band setting, studio version. Hell, even got paid.
@@johnmccombs224 amen!!
@John Rampino lol
There is no one else in the World quite like Peter Green. God's gift to all of us who hear him sing and play. God Bless Peter Green
His lead work on "I Was Looking Back To See If She Was Looking Back To See If I Was looking Back At Her" is just incredible.
if you can get 30% near to his touch and technique you will be a fucking great guitar player
Amen. He is such a unselfish bad ass !
RIP Peter. The tears just keep coming
RIP Peter Green, thanks so much for coming back to see us all before you left....⛵ ❤️
Such a shame he had to go through such an ordeal. He really is a true guitar gem, he's one of the forgotten heroes and personally one of my favorites.
Great music. Peter Green. I feel sorry for people who don't know him. So much good music. Wow.
I still remember the time I first heard this song. Seventeen years old, 1967 late at night, lying in my bed with the lights out having a final cigarette with the radio tuned into KPCC FM Pasadena, which was one of the original underground stations in Los Angeles.
A seminal moment and I became a Peter Green devotee right then and there. Saw him 3 times with the Mac.........
I remember KPCC FM ,,,Yeah buddy!!!! I was fortunate enough to see Peter and the Mac at a Pinnacle Productions concert with The Who at the Shrine Auditorium around 1968, they were spectacular,,, Pete was making fun of Pete Townsend whipping his picking arm around and around like a windmill!!! lol. I also saw and met them at The Whiskey a year later. Peter was dressed in robes like Jesus and had his arms around 2 of the most beautiful brunettes I have ever seen,,,,
@@daviddoyle4516 I was at the Shrine show with the Who as well. They played back to back weekends there on the first tour, opening for Chuck Berry on the other. Then saw them in Jan '69 at the Fillmore West. At that one, they came out for their 2nd set having obviously thrown down several pints. They were all laughing milling about until Peter put his guitar down, went back and shooed Mick off the drum stool and they started into Kirwan's Jigsaw Puzzle Blues while Fleetwood went to the front of the stage and did a strip tease down to a pair of black bunhuggers. I was right down in front and on this night, tripping on mushrooms. I wouldn't of believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. Absolutely surreal. They finished out the set with Jeremy coming on and doing the Earl Vince and the Valiants Rock 'n Roll Revival....listening to KPCC and KMET in those days and attending shows at the Shrine was a R 'n R education........cheers!
@@daviddoyle4516 oh yes the Whiskey..Mario Proprietor ! I've been there many times also...im from the valley but frequented Hollywood starting at 15' I remember going to a little club off of the blvd on Harper called bido lido. Just served coffee,tee and sodas. Swa the Doors, Love w/Arthur Lee, Byrds, Seeds,can't seem to make you mine. And others...those were great teen years. Came out of service and went to work for a record dist. Loading top 40 singles for record rack..you know thrifty drugs, Save on stores. Then went to record dist. Warner, repris, atlantic,Atco, polydor and all European imports. Found album black sabbath by black sabbath listened to title W/ thunder,lightning,rain.."what is this that stands before me" gave album to KMET got air time. When Sabbath made their first appearance at the Whiskey. MARIO set me and 7 friends up with a booth,went upstairs interduced to band, shared some taste and became friends etc etc. I did the staging and lighting on their first US tour in Feb 74' east coast.. carried on later at studio, party's and such. I assisted in the design of the cable runners on rail cars for Cal- Jam one and was group agent for Sabbath and Deep Purple..enough if me...been around ! ! Promoted concerts in Tucson Ariz. Purple Mac W/ bob welch, rory Gallagher, Joe Walsh, faces w/rod s and Ron wood, Robin Trower etc. I'm 73' now and I must admit, the first half was amazing ! ! I've got tons of stories but Ballex...later ! ask Oz he'll tell you how crazy we were then ? and now ? LOL
So the Shrine Expo show I attended had opening act The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, then Peter Green and the Mac, with closing set by The Who (with Keith Moon). Anyone see this particular show?
@@MartyHalpern Yes indeed
The Mac stole the show. The Who did their best but around 2am the crowd started to exit
The house lights came on and the Who were still trying their best but they had lost the congregation. One of the MAC'S shrine Expo shows had a great poster. Eschesque.
I lost it 50 years ago.
like I said before, NOBODY does it like Peter Green, absolutely nobody...
Check out Larry Corsa playing The Supernatural on a Corsa model Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded. He has the feel and the tone and more importantly the long sustain notes via a Klon.
not even Gary Moore, on Peter's guitar,,,,,,but,,,Gary Moore does smoke that fukker
Arguably the greatest EVER to play the blues
R.I.P. my brother.It was a Hard Road.It was the Supernatural that we will always remember.
Undying admire for great Peter Green.
F***ing hell!! Yes. He's still got it. Genius. Really nice to watch him play this.
Now that's a good name for a band. Peter Green is a legend . I want that strat
B.B, King's favorite guitarist. BB King said "He has the sweetest tone I have ever heard. He was the only one who gave me the cold sweats"
You seem to be right. I heard that Clapton said his blues playing is very special!
I don't think BB said that Green was his favorite guitar but he did say he made him sweat. He may have been one of his favorite but I would say, having researched BB and having talked with him his favorite players were T Bone, Lonnie Johnson, and Django Reinhardt. He was also a big fan of slide guitarist and Chicago headhunter Earl Hooker as well as Jazzers Herb Ellis, Wes Montgomery and George Benson.
@@kevindean1327 I think OP meant *one* of BBK's favorite guitarists.
i was lucky enough to see the Great Man live at a small venue many years ago.......awesome evening...fantastic present from my loverly wife.
It was so great to see Peter Green make a come back after a very long period where he wrestled with his inner demons.
Rest in Peace Peter Green who on July 25, 2020 has crossed over to the realm of the Supernatural where he will be welcomed by GOD for the beautiful music and guitar playing he has given us.
God will be practising bass guitar for the first gig!
Ughh... he's dead. Accept it.
@@CooManTuneshis music will live forever
@@megadave1197 I agree, but that's not what the op suggested.
@@CooManTunes Pretty harsh thing to say & dumb as the shit you have on your channel . Mozart & Beethoven have been dead over 200 years yet they still are remembered & revered as timeless music masters . Typical comment from one that does not play music & has no clue . That crap on your channel sucks so get over it or remove it , Ugghh that crap is dead , accept it & get over it .
the master of less is more. pure genius
So true can't stand souless fast meaningless playing
5 notes rather than 50 for me.
RIP Peter
Precisely. All his career. Tone, not technique.
Farewell to the master.....rest easy dear Peter ...not sure we are ever see the likes of your talent again.
*R I P Peter Green - October 29, 1946 - July 25, 2020*
Peter Green has not lost it - an example of pure genius in phrasing, touch and feel. It is just wonderful to see Peter back lifting spirits up high. Thank you for posting this terrific melody.
Yes ! .. his own EXCELLENCIES still ... at deepest and FULL capacity ... REMAINING ❤❤❤
Peter was one of the few that could make a guitar cry, sing and laugh RIP !!!
I saw him three or four times when he 'came back' and I don't remember him being this animated. That other bloke used to play Pete's part while Pete just 'tickled' the strings and came in when he felt like it. This is the best I've ever seen the older PG play. Thanks for posting.
He may have lost some stuff, but he will never lose that touch!
It's amazing the tone and the fel he got out of a guitar (any guitar) - his phrasing is immaculate even after all of his (well publicised) problems. 'The Supernatural' was so ahead of its time, and here he makes it still feel fresh.
The timing in his phrases is a major part of his uniqueness. Great post thanks.
All the heart is still there - the magic still exists.
The touch, phrasing and soul.
Outstanding.
Lots of love from me.
watching this with tears in my eyes.what a talent he is
another one here😭
An all-time classic
I saw a documentary on him forming the splinter group and hearing what he went through broke my heart peter seems like an honest man who has a really good heart. Im hlad he got to do the splinter group and i hope he still enjoying playing guitar
Made me cry and so happy he got back to playing
Well said indeed. This performance is brilliant by anybodys standards. Musical genius.
He's still got that magic touch, although its a more gentle feel, he still plays great!!!
Just pure feeling, sensational indeed Mr G.
The magic is still there.
Yeah!!!!!!
It's so not!
He still has that lovely touch yes
@@andythomas706 But I'm glad he found his way out of the darkness somewhat...
@@jcgood Absolutely!
a magician on guitars....no one ever has that incredible sound....no one
I watched him with Fleetwood Mac in 1969 at the Lyceum in London. Amazing!
😭😭😭 today is a sad day never never forget.. musicans fantastic play.. one and only.. ❣️ Peter Green 🥀
PG is a living proof of genious and cruel reality but powerful triumph of human mind and survival in life! PG still has a part of his god's given musical gift and that's enough for him and all of us to be thankful about his genious. We must celebrate and enjoy his music for ourselves and with him. No other guitarists can explain such and all the feelings with many less notes! Cheers for PG.
GENIUS BEAUTIFUL MAN
Awesome! what more can you say...
Gracias por todo Amigo...RIP
😢😔
So good he even smiled
It's enough that Peter was able to finally able to find the personal courage to start to play again after drugs almost destroyed his mind.Those who truly love the Peter that WAS feel thankful for the Peter that still IS regardless of how much of his musical brilliance still remains to shine through the haze.The audience here are supporting the man out of love and respect.
Drugs did destroy his mind. This isn't him playing, it's what replaced him. #theressomeoneinmyheadbutitsnotme
Scott Matheson well, drugs and schizophrenia. It’s still nice hearing him play, even though it’s not as lively as it used to be, he still sounds better than 90% of wannabe guitarists. Got to give him that.
Always right where he is in the universe. Thank you kind sir …
Peter was honored a few years back for being such a proficient song writer. He wrote a lot of music. Green God...
Rest In Peace Greeny Your place is firmly cemented in the pantheon of electric guitarists-around the globe. Thanks for your inspiration and recorded legacy for us all. Godspeed Brother.
another heavenly guitar master...conversing with💪😁
This changed my mind, musically. Forever grateful Mr Green you have brought pleasure to so many people's. We love you for that. Thank you.
great playing, loved to see him live
just worth it to see him smile again ,he was nearly lost forever ,love pete always will
Very Sweet! Time to go on a Peter Green binge of music appreciation.
He still has his own unique "feel" here... no need to blast off with high gain during this performance...listen to original recording if you want to hear it the original way. Nice to hear him here.
This is why i will always love peter g!!!
I first heard this version live at ronnie scotts in birmingham uk and it sent shivers down my spine and guess what it still does.
RIP Peter Green, you will never be forgotten.
This has warmed my heart.....I didn't know he could still play!! Peter, we were blessed to have you, and now we are blessed with memories of you. Sleep tight, sweet prince. I'll see you in my dreams. ❤❤❤
Can't believe his is gone. My guitar idol. I watched the 'Albatros' video from this gig and whilst I was happy Peter was up on stage, I felt a bit sad as it just didn't seem like the old days. Then I put this on and was so chuffed to hear Peter taking the lead. Honestly almost sat here with a tear in my eye seeing Peter play this. It's not the same Peter Green that would coax those tones out of that Les Paul, but the sound is unmistakably Peter Green even with that strat. Rest in Piece Peter. I'm so grateful for you inspiring me to play guitar.
So great to hear Peter doing Supernatural again after so many years. His perserverence itself was supernatural. RIP, friend. ❤
Wow!!! Peter Green Is One Amazing & Awesome Guitar Player!! A Great Big Huge Thumbs Up!!!
- Big Will / The Super Blues Universe
R.I. P. Mr. Green. Thank you for the great music
This man had gold in his fingers! So moving to listen to him after his recent death !
Im glad Uncle Pete made it back , and still had the balls and fortitude to play something like his masterpiece " The Supernatural " on stage in front of a live audience. many people dont know it but Peter set the bar for guitar students and to this day many woodshed and practice his solo recordings to gain knowledge of the instrument.I was fortunate enough to see The Mac in Los Angeles on 3 occasions and I never will forget it. I met them at The Whiskey a Go Go and they were very nice to me. Thats the first time I saw Pete play a Strat with a blonde neck. They rocked the house.
Pure Genius
Will be remembered for the simple but beautiful talent he was.
his music has always been......spooky, kind of eerie. not quite like anyone else
Not quite Skip James eerie, but right up there.
Thanks for the upload. It's such a treasure to not only have his work from "the big days" of his career, but to still have him amongst us and continuing to make music. The fact that his life hasn't been easy and he's come through with such grace is an inspiration in itself.
glad we're only hearing the Green Manalishi himself on lead here. Many others have made the wise observation that not every song - in fact most songs, do not need to be played with extreme flash and breakneck speed. It's all about playing passionately, sensitively, tastefully and in service of the music - not in service of the ego or the expectations of immature listeners. Of that set of values, Peter the Great gives a clinic here in the brief span of 3 minutes. Bravo.
SOOOOOOO good!!!
Peter has just mellowed. He's said he still loves to play but life is now 'more' to him than just playing guitar. He's got nothing to prove & has found peace in his soul.
I've heard people say he can't play solo anymore..This performance proves that to be nonsense. Pure genius imo.
Han är ju naturligtvis en av de bästa gitarrister all time!!!
Masterpiece!!!One of the best Guitar Anthems..!!!
Thank you Peter Green, you brought such pleasure and happiness to the world with your inspired genius. Rest In Peace 💙
ONE OF THE GODS OF GUITAR!
so nice to see him playing again ok hes not the player he was but this guys been through hell so god bless him for his retern to the guitar
AMEN to that.
My guitar idol finally got to see him at Byron Bay in 2012 it was a thrill and a lifetime wish
Nearly all the best TV clips of musical legends on youtube seem to come from Germany. Great stages, sound and backgrounds- real bunch of pros.
Thank you and greetings from Germany.
Touch, tone, taste, time, feel - he still had it after everything that happened to him. Amazing!
gosh i still love the guy!!
A 20 year old boy writes such a song, amazing.
could'nt agree more..top bloke
I wish Peter would wrung things out more but this was still tastefully done. man, around this time, this act was in SF. I drove once by myself for a short notice Keystone gig for John McLaughlin "Mahavishnu" , '84. Almost did that for PG but it was raining like crazy. I chickened out. Maybe last chance to see him.
Still got it ,which is a miracle after what Petes been through,only Pete can play so delicately with feeling.
PETER GREEN IS ONE OF THE BEST MUSICIAN FROM THE WORLD.
I think this rocks mighty fine :) I would have been most humbled to be at this performance :) :)
same !!
This is so special.
What an absolute amazing musician and guitar player. I am in awe every time I listen. Thank you Peter.
Hints of Black Magic Woman. The Great Late Peter Green lives on!
hey guys, EC,PG, and those great guitarists they have and like to experiment. In art (and music) and life to stay "green", you must always learn, see and do new things and move on. Those greats got their part (fame, art,etc.), so they don't have the time and mind for nostalgie. It's only those of us, who accomplished nothing or have no real talent, we tend to always look back at the past of those times, feel regrets and begin to compare (out of ignorance and bitterness). Cheers.
Simply the greatest British blues guitarist of all time
Agreed, and have done so since the late 1960s first hearing him at 12 years old (Then Play On) and learning guitar. He influenced me more than anyone else.
A Master at work...
Wonderful. Thank you.
Yeah he's still got the magic
a blues guitarist MAN amongst boys, peter one of the blues kings..... A hard act to follow.
Wow... smokin' smoothness. Sweet!
REST IN PEACE MAN!!
If I ever have a chance to see him play, I will die happy.
Too late pal
Green Manelishi
Me to sunshine....
Green Manelishi: Incidentally you spelt it wrong! There's no 'e' in it! As for seeing him play, you are 40 years too late I'm afraid!
I was him about 18 years ago, he was excellent in both voice & playing.
@@Simonc1952in Heaven...??
Has stunning tone and nice sustain- the great ones are never in a race, just "sprints"
Such a sad loss so smooth his guitar playing and all the years he lost in his life no who it is straight away rip pete gave so many people joy and wrote some great songs 👍
