Somedays, I have a Peter Green day. That's all i will listen to. I don't care if I listen to a song 4-5-6 times.
Nowt wrong with that man. I'm the sane with nick drake. Another brilliant British act
The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
He was the greatest British Blues player who ever lived.
Gods bless you Peter.
Peter Green exhibits so much skill, soul and depth combined with simplicity and humility. It's really amazing just to watch him talk and play that guitar. He seems like such a gentle soul. His late resurgence must have freed him from the hell of his past(post Fleetwood Mac) and given him joy. RIP Peter Green.
His guitar playing was always about touching his listeners, never about impressing them with artistry. Love him
Nicely put.
"I went up on a cloud and thought that I was better than I was. I accepted their compliments... and see where I ended up." ~ Peter Green's words to the wise!
Poor guy, I had a family member who suffered with schizophrenia, it is a terrible illness to afflict someone. God rest his soul.
The medication does more damage than the schizophrenia!
God bless him, he didn't like the limelight, he opted out one way or another, a great player, composer and singer, so riveting in his prime.
He didn't need it.
I remember this documentary when it first went out. At the time I thought it meant we'd see the return of another similar character, Syd Barrett. That wasn't to be but I'm forever grateful that Mr Green did make his comeback. It's a continual source of strength to me during the hard times.
Peter Green is the true shining crazy diamond...
Saw him in a small venue in Ventura Ca about 15yrs ago,he didn’t sing a word but played every note exactly- incredible !
I met Peter three times after his comeback, the middle occasion when the band I was in supported him and Splinter Group, and I found him to be more 'switched on' each time.
The last time was when they played Farnham Maltings. An artist friend of mine had given me a present of a painting of Peter so I took it, along with a felt marker pen, to the gig, and hung around afterward. When Peter came out I showed it to him, and he was very enthused about it. When I asked him if he'd autograph it he laughed, and said "I've never signed a painting before!"
He signed it as Peter Greenbaum, in the perfect spot on the painting, and it's still up on my living room wall now.
It was a pleasure to meet him, and I consider myself lucky I did.
Brilliant
Bless those friends who got him back into music.
If only they didn't let him down in the end...😔
He has that God-given thing like Mick Taylor. Melodicism, touch and timing. With austerity. Less is more.
Watching the clip of Peter playing with Danny Kirwan sent shivers up my spine.
Brilliant! RIP Peter and Cozy, both among the all time greats.
What a testimont to the restorative nature of music and doing what you love. Will never be able to put that in a pill.
Rest in Peace Peter and Danny ❤
John Mayall yesterday
I feel more sorry for Danny than for Peter .
@@gordonely3591yes Danny was homel s .And suffered with mental illness
I got to know him when I lived in Eastbourne early 2000’s . A very quiet & gentle man . He came to one of my college gigs in Hastings in support of local charities he didn’t play or anything and he didn’t make a show of himself he sat quietly in the auditorium with his carer at the time and watched hours of local bands play all day . Those who knew him recognised his sensibilities. He was a generous soul ❤
That’s the sweetest story. Kind of says a lot about him - his love of and inquisitiveness about music, his lack of pretentiousness, his generosity, kindness…just a diamond. ❤❤ Was so lucky to see him perform in Melbourne (Aust) quite a few years ago (can’t remember exact year). A treasured memory. 🎸🎵☮️
I seen Fleetwood Mac on Morecambe Pier England in 1967... It was a rather large Ballroom and there were about 50 people there, at most, I sat in the Balcony, aged 18, and watched and listened in awe of the sound that came from those guys, Peter had his back to the ''audience'' most of the time and I clapped and clapped when a song ended, and once the show was over Peter pointed up to me and said thanks as this was just a rehearsal as we are new Band and it was only a few years later I noticed they were the same Band I seen in 67...Those days had so many great Bands but the original Fleetwood Mac stood out as special indeed...
R.I.P. to one THE greats of London.
Do you know the name of the song he plays at about 19:20?
@@jackgrant9301 : ''Need yer love so bad''... Classic Fleetwood Mac are the beginning. Look for the start of Fleetwood Mac when Peter was the front man, Lead Singer and Lead Guitar.
To my eyes Peter Green looked like Jesus during his days in Fleetwood Mac, at a most brilliant musician , a very kind and gentle gentleman, A few years ago a dear friend of my family and passed away, we had known John for 35 years or so and just before he died he told that he loved Peter Green & Fleetwood Mac music so we arranged for Man of the World to be plaid at our friend funeral. Peter Green and our friend John Christie now resting in eternal peace in Heaven with all the angles and saints
Peter spoke many times about Jesus...se the documentary "the major the world" & the interview made in Sweden by the lake he use to fish at ...👍 he was highly Spiritual person...🙏🕊️🌟
Many years ago I met Peter at a gig near Leicster....must have been around 1967...has a few words with him and got his autograph. R.I.P Mr. Man of the world.
Beautiful. A literal LEGEND.
Thank you for the music Peter. RIP.
One of the finest blues guitarist ever! Along with Rory Gallagher!!!
RIP both❤❤
🙌Amen to that❗🙏🕊️🌟
Awesome...had the honor of seeing him shortly after he returned to performing. ...A VERY SPECIAL NIGHT
Great that Peter returned,but the fact that he gave us such wonderful music in the first place is something we should all be grateful for.
Rest In Peace
Yeah thanks to his rhythm guitar player some comments said he exploited him
the most soulful guitar player ever
ONE of
a soul singer too
When he ran Fleetwood Mac, that band was truly amazing.
live in Boston one of his best gig/jam ever
I got that on disk. The whole show great. Stuff those were the days when bands will play for hours on end and then play with each other on stage man Great era of music. I was born in 69 My .parents and uncles and cousins. Listen to all this stuff. I got turned on tell it at a young age.
In fact this live recording existed in vinyle but I own the set on 3 cds. End of the game is also worth hearing
He came into our guitar shop one time and picked up a tabulature book of Fleetwood Mac songs. "Is it any good?" he asked.
When was this?
@@styepen602 Early 1990s
@@mattsta1964 thanks, just curious that was all.
@@mattsta1964 was the later Fleetwood Mac stuff or PETER GREENS FLEETWOOD MAC?
@@adamparker2754 It was such a long time ago, I can't remember, but he came into our shop in Sevenoaks, Kent with his minder. We could tell he was still quite fragile mentally.
The look on his face watching himself playing Oh Well, is incredibly touching.
As a young kid, my late brother played ‘albatross’ to me as we lay in our bedroom, I remember it well, as the most beautiful piece of music i had ever heard, probably still is.. Later in life i was working in a motorcycle shop in Clapham, London, one Day a guy came into the shop, dishevelled, filthy, long fingernails and sat on the floor in front of a machine, slowly stroking the chrome exhaust pipes. I went over and sat on the floor with him, asking ‘are you ok’ ? He softly said he was alright, but gave no explanation to me as to what he was doing. I went back to my desk wondering what to do, he was out of place and the situation was odd. My colleague called me over and said ‘do you know who that is’ ?, i said ‘no’, he told me it was ‘Peter green from Fleetwood Mac’, I returned and asked him if he was, ‘Why’ he asked me, I explained we were fans of his music, and eventually after a little more time sitting on the floor, I asked if he would mind signing a Post It note ( Yellow paper.. ) for me, he did. He returned many times, but we hardly talked, just a nod from me to greet him, asking ‘coffee ?’, which he never accepted.
I was so glad to see him return to music a few years later, and ‘Albatross’ brings back many memories, to this Day, of childhood, my late brother and my meetings in London with this extraordinary musician.
Brother, this comment almost made me cry...
@@GBCR I am crying. The doc about him didn't make me cry but this comment did. 😢
Brilliant story
@@websurfer5772
Unfortunately, all PG documentaries are garbage, including this one.
@@GBCRAnd who are you?!
It was a miracle that ECT never robbed him of his cognitive abilities completely and that he could return to playing and performing. RIP Greeny.
It did though
@@NECRONOMICON7-7-7indeed...his playing never had the passion it once had
Saw him in one of his first gigs with John Mayall- small local hall in Harpenden. Hadn’t a clue about music so didn’t know what to expect. Once he started playing I couldn’t take my eyes off him all night. I have never him and the first time I ever heard that name-Peter Green. Beautiful soul R.I.P.
It's a shame what happened to Peter, for a brief period in time his music could bring out so many emotions in you through his playing and singing an I think he was the greatest English guitar player ever also if bb king says it then it must be true, I'm glad that he came back an I was lucky enough to see him in concert, very sad when he passed away at least now he has eternal peace , thank you for Fleetwood mac the songs guitar playing an the most perfect voice rip peter green legend
@paulmcloughlin9913 Good read that thanks. I'm thinking of joining up various pieces of footage and combining two documentaries I have here, but because they are deep, I have some great Fleetwood Mac stuff in 1969 and 1970 and some of his solo stuff before he literally disappeared. I do wonder what he did between 72 and 1980. The 80s must have been terrible for him. And what he thought of Fleetwood Mac with Buckingham, etc even alive I guess he wouldn't be able to get the words out as he did speak in genius type riddles like he'd seen everyone as not as life experienced as him possibly.
The man was ahead of his time in so many ways. On top of that, blowing BB King away is some achievement. He's the best guitarist in history I think. He must be.
@Greenyandeverygenre that would be good to see if you could do it, Fleetwood mac after peter was a totally different band, I'd say in the 80s he probably didn't even know what day of the week it was, I think what sometimes goes unnoticed is the great songs he did with john mayall an also Fleetwood mac did a great album with otis spann in 1968 I think..
A humble gentleman, and what a legacy ✌️
i saw him on this tour at Derby. He shuffled on stage like an old man with a barely heard shy 'hello' and went through his set. His guitar playing was mostly there for sure but like here his voice was gone and he lacked any energy. In this excellent documentary he reminds me of an old ex- boxer who has taken far too many punches: he is an advert for ''don't do drugs''....especially the mind frying LSD which seems to have been the ruination of several musicians [ Syd Barret?]. Bless him, an amiable though complex and difficult man, his unique talent is undeniable. What is also undeniable is he wasted so much of it- which is sad.

I see some folks saying so sad, but I think this is a happy story. He was a gentle soul that could play on a higher level. He was a great man that was very humble human and kind, his music ended up healing him, and lived out the rest of his life happily on his terms .
I see the "sad" comments too but remember these comment sections are filled with bots these days unfortunately.
@williamolsen20: He also suffered from extreme mental illness, was profoundly unhappy, and had much of his musical ability robbed from him due to ECT. Anyone who knows PG’s story is perfectly entitled to feel a degree of sadness towards the way his life turned out.
Somewhat. But I'm living it, it's not so great to be alone like he was, it only hit me after 15 years. It hits us all. He was not as happy as he could have been, witness my statement
@@slow-mo_moonbuggy sad robots, that's only fitting. Get it, like fittings like nuts and bolts, haha I have the worst sense of humor I'm still laughing
Great observation and I agree 100%
Peter will always be an ICON in my book.
Indeed, he will.
Still my favourite finger guitarist and song writer ever
Absolute Legend! Best songwriter succumbed to the evil side of the music business! RIP you amazing man, your music lives on and is still a major part of my day! ❤
He just said he knew what he took. He just liked to party, the mac was so helllbent on making money and doing coke. They were into different drugs is all. I would leave my friends too just like him, I just wanted to keep going, I was doing speed, they weren't. He just hung out with weirdos because he's one. Water seeks its own level. Everyone I hung out with were hells angels and genius junkies, because I was smart and vicious. Then a I changed, that never changed. Clean 12 years no alchohol no drugs, no cigarettes no nothing. One day I knew if I didn't stop I'd die. So I quit. Sure it was hard, so what. I'll never take a drink again I know that much. Oh and I stopped smoking weed for ten years to see what a clear head is like. It's exhausting thank goodness it's legal here. Immediate relief when I started up again last year. It's amazing, to go down the block buy pure hash oil and eat it.
Treasure of the gift of his music, the rest is insignificant.
Nice documentary, a few bits and pieces that I haven’t seen before.
There is footage on TH-cam of a PGFM gig in Sweden in maybe 1969, Danny Kirwan broke a string and PG plays world keep on turning (solo)
That to me is peak PG, so much raw power, talent, emotion, energy, skill and all the rest of it.
There’s always a lot of speculation around whether he was already prone to mental illness before the drugs etc, I just think it’s a crying shame what happened to him (if not all three guitar players from that era) as a result of taking trips on various things and forgetting / losing themselves.
Edit: they’re now playing homework, the guy could still really play! Although the new band kind of reflects the man’s age and mental state (not where it once was).
I thought that too (re homework). The best I heard him play after the comeback.
One of the best players to come out of England
My fave.
Legend by all means. Nobody can judge him.
It was a pleasure to meet you Mr. Green.
Absolute legend, his sense of humour and humility come through well here despite the troubles he had. His playing is great on this aswell
Great work. Thank you for this. I love Peter and Danny's music. I discovered him for the most part after " The Wilderness Years" A funny name for my other favorite incarnation of Fleetwood Mac. Who else would name a band after his rhythm section ! What an unconditional man , also one who knew that he would quit all of this music biz way before his drug issues 🎵
Hes the deepest player i ever heard. i only heard 3 so far! Showbiz Blues kills.
When he hears Kurt doing come as you on unplugged, he instantly recognises the talent
THE Peter Green, a great!! RIP Pete🙏
'Only music is important.' - Peter Green
There's a video of John McVie and Mick Fleetwood sitting on a couch being interviewed, where they speak of the band when Peter Green was in the band.
This story that they tell disturbs me and it seems to describe the beginning of Green's change.
They mentioned that the band was on tour and they arrived somewhere in Europe, I believe it was in Germany at an airport, where as soon as they boarded off the plane, a group of strangers were waiting for Peter and the drove him away. No one else in the band knew who these people were, except of course Peter. Mick and John both noted that these folks were sort of standoffish and rude, but they commented that there was an extremely attractive woman among them.
So later that day or while they were all staying in that town or region, they eventually all went to a large estate that a party was being held, and it was there that Peter Green was with these same people that had picked him up at the airport. Other party goers told the band that Peter was downstairs with the strangers and that he was whacked out on drugs that the strangers had provided. Mick and John were told this and that " it was a bad scene down there' ' . That was apparently saying something to the guys in the band who had experienced a lot by then after having been around the block themselves.
It makes me wonder if anyone had known of the incident and asked Peter who those people were and or if he recalled what had taken place then.
It angers me and I am deeply suspicious of who they were and why they surrounded Peter.
It is spooky and nefarious. Mick and John eluded that Peter's involvement with those strange folk was the beginning of his demise. They did something to Peter and it appears to have been a conspiracy. So again, I can't help but wonder if anyone ever spoke to Peter and asked him who they were and what they were about.
I read and observed that particular also...they tripped him out....evil bastards...seen it done before in the late 60's..almost fell victim...escaped...his whole problem wasnt schizoprenia, but lsd 25...I experienced blotter acid at a base in east afrika. Kagnew Station. Someone got it in the mail and 150-200 people were flipping out the next 24-48 hrs...some wers irreversibly damaged..this is probably what happened to Peter Green only more so....
Just on a whole other level. RIP Peter Green.
Cozy Powell and Neil Murray playing with him fresh out of Black Sabbath
Sitting in Clarksdale MS, The Home of the Blues, home of the Crossroads, just a very short drive to Rosedale. Come see us. Peter knew. Safe travels to him and you. Bring your rider or your wife. Heck, bring them both.
Love early fleetwood mac. I played in a punk band on bass guitar in early 90s and still play and write to this day. Im gonna defo record my songs in memory of this great guitarist song writer. Class act
Fantastic film but also really sad
Saw Peter w/Nigel and the Splinter Group in Santa Cruz, CA in 2002, as I recall. After the set, people lined up for album signings etc. I just shook his hand and thanked him. His music has moved me in a deep place, ever since I've been around 13. R.I.P. Peter (and Danny)
Saw them in Santa Rosa on the same tour. So great to see them. All of the faces a few years older than me who were teens at the end of the 60s were grooving hard in the audience. They knew they were experiencing something that shouldn’t have been yet it was right there happening hard. Glorious. A gift so to speak.Peter would only let go and really rip when he turned his back to the audience. I managed to get his autograph hours afterward. He signed it Peter Greenbaum. Rest in peace brother.
@@robertweathers6096 Guess I should have gotten his autograph. Glad we both got to see him.
So very sad😢
@8:47 remember this lads....BB King once said "Peter Green was the only guitar player that made me sweat."
And if you don't believe him, search " Got a mind to give up living", live in Stockholm 1970. And grab yourself a towel and some tissue because you're gonna cry and sweat. That live performance is (for me) as good as it has ever been played.
Never saw them live but the splinter group made some great music!! One of my favorite musicians.
he left the medication and seems absolutely normal! Incredible! R.I.P. Peter Green.
Lovely seeing him here. ❤
Just learned about Peter Green the last few years. I didnt know about when he was with Fleetwood Mac. He was awesome.
I Had the pleasure of seeing him in the Komedia club bath a few years ago! A True Legend
Always enjoyed his music.
Interesting how people are naturally drawn to a particular genre.
"Apostle "and "Just Another Guy" instrumentals in the late 70s were just as good as his early stuff ❤❤
Legend. Big influence on uk Blues!!! Old saying got all need but nothing R.I.P 😢
I used to see him in Richmond quite a lot. Along with Pete Townsend, Ronnie Wood & Mick Jagger.
I was fortunate enough to see The Splinter Group with Peter here in the Detroit, MI area. He wasn’t the old Peter but there were flashes of brilliance on that Strat.
In the old days he played that wonderful Paul.
Just a mild mannered fellow. I loved the show although Nigel played a lot.
he was sane...the world is just sick, was back then and is more then ever today
One legend in music.
You've still got it man !.......
Oh 3:00 im there now. I dont even paint anymore. Thats me. I just realized im him. I dont want to end up like that though walking along a street 5:57 old, almost gone. No way. What do i do. Ive been in a room with no cable or laptop ten years now, my whole 30s, nobody seems to care because i was a crimnal when i was a kid. Or because they dont care. I almost died last week because nobody would help me, sometimes i need a lot of help
Jeez people give me thumbs up on this, im like alright....... crickets chirping
@@JSTNtheWZRD There might be people who can help if they know you need help. The Samaritans? A local church? Do you see a doctor? Do they know you're struggling? Would it help to get painting again if that's something you've done in the past? If Peter Green could get back on the road there's hope for all of us!
@@benwhitworth8881 See local church, check out p sy c hic person (GENUINE one!) & see if Paul McKenna can help You (hypnosis)! You seem to be highly Spiritual & sensitive Soul! Bless You with health & Happiness! 🙏🕊️🌟
He was never the same after that trip to Germany. The jet set people were quite dubious and shady. Pretty sure they gave him some bad stuff, and he never really recovered from it.
I just love that
A fascinating watch and listen.
Legend!
Saw him play after he left mac with mayall at Shepton mallet in 1970 early morning set Sunday every one crashed out was at the front of stage could not take my eyes of the frett brd total masterey .but you could see there was something lost.
While some of the sparkle has gone and I hope I'm not rude in saying this but his voice has the authentic quality of an aged colored blues musician, and his lead playing is remarkably similar to BB King, I think that's a wonderful thing for Peter to have tapped into again. I was only 12 when I found a copy of then play on at some Iranian ladies second hand shop for 25 cents, this definitely was not the Fleetwood Mac that your mom through on the turntable to clean the house too, but the band that outsold the Beatles and rolling stones combined!!!
RIP Peter & Cozy
Beautiful soul
Thank you
It's only by God's grace that I'm alive to say that I experienced an LSD induced schizophrenia that lasted many years. I was a dealer of that dreadful drug and went off the deep end. I'm very familiar with the 'word play' games Peter was engaged with that I saw in this video. I was afraid that if I went in to get treated I might not make it back out. So for years I trusted that God would eventually heal me. I suppose I could be labeled "highly functional"., but He has performed a miracle for me and I am forever indebted to Him. Peter's music meant so much to so many because his sensitivity and musical intuition broke many barriers. The danger, of course is that one can become so vulnerable that they can loose themselves if they've lost the tether that keeps them here. Ask me how I know. May God bless you all. You all matter!
I took LSD a few times, after knowing the experience stopping naturally
To me not addictive at all and showing new dimensions.
Maybe making me more passive
I never here 'Their side' of so called acid casualties story s .Now they are ones who enjoyed acid and came down too hard mentally or ones who had too many traumatic bad ones .I know Bryan Wilson said it screwed his head up
Yup, that stuff opens channels that is hard to close on Your own... One sees things & hears voices, as seeirs do, but noone calls them schizophrenic!!! Glad to hear that You've been healed! 🙌 Blessings in all You do! 🙏🕊️🌟
A true. Artist. Mr. P. Green. I have the last music CD you all made together. I like it alot. ❤🩹
One of the greatest
Lovely man
I kew too little of Peter, back in the heyday of the real Fleetwood Mac ... my loss. Now Our Loss. Good Bye Peter. May You Rest in Peace.
I was friendly wiv Peter back in early 80s. Beautiful Bem introduced me. We chilled in his Richmond cottage. I was bout 19_20 and he was slowly coming out of his drug infused psychosis. Via some dodgy cult that whisked him away in bout 1970 previously. I was a muscian ,and played harp n wrote but not at all focused . Didnt kno his back story n how prolific he was. He was a grt harp player.He was somewhat ehtheral at time. Said little wiv humour . But puntuated wen he did spk like his guitar playin. 🎸 He somewhat at time looked like Dennis Rousos.Wiv the lbig long flowin smock!!! People occasionaly wud pop by. Peter said he wanted his royalties that had been ripped off him. RIP 🙏 Peter 👍
There are a couple of fairly extensive documentaries around about PG, and they usually provoke ambivalence in me. Whilst it is fantastic to see him smiling and back on stage with a guitar, I also find it incredibly poignant. I don't want to over dramatise. He retains his wickedly mischievous sense of humour - the sequence with him carefully holding the 'tiny Albatross' made me chuckle aloud - and he clearly had people around him who cared a great deal; but as he himself said, he wasn't the same.
The plaudits have been trotted out endlessly. And whilst I really don't care for the contemporary 'greatest guitar players listed from one to ten' business; I thought he had the finest touch of any of the white bluesmen...but then in a trice, he had that blistering attack, without it turning into....what is it? 'shredding?' I treasure the bootlegs of FM in their heyday - with the equally dazzling Danny Kirwan. That BB King quote...the one about Green's playing giving him 'cold sweats'. I still get that feeling up the back of my neck when I hear 'Something Inside of Me' or 'Stop Messin Around.' It's pure emotion I guess. I've been a musician for over 45 years and have admired many guitarists; but Peter's music is so preternatural and beautiful that it holds particular meaning for me.
Wow❤ beautiful
Peter makes reference to Gary Moore (in jest) another great
Funny wasn't he? 😂
Probably with Mick Taylor the best British guitarists of the 1960's. Just listen to Fleetwood Mac at the Boston Tea Party 1968. You'll find out that Danny Kirwan was pretty darn good also.
Legend❤
5:57 Peter Green is just walking by on the street. Have you any idea how much he influenced me. It would be like a Christian seeing christ and slamming on the brakes, id be holding his legs, he probably be screaming for help. Thats what you get for being awesome. Poor guy. I have the tapes of the old studio stuff and concerts its so psychedelic and great
Genuis
Green Manalishi is his ever best
The female obviously didn’t know of the band Nirvana, who definitely weren’t playing live in that pub. Interesting that PG was drawn to that song. Saw him a few times in Leamington Spa.
He was interrested in various kinds of music & was trying to broaden his view about it all!
R.i.p. Peter Green u baaaaassass Cat u still are top of the crop Brother
You never tell anyone else's story.
i know somebody who knew you in WestLondon cant remember thecomplete story but your better known today than back in the day if you want to talk get in touch ttfn&ty
