Hearing that news has me watching these old Fleetwood Mac videos. Peter Green was incomparable. With his dark and eerie sound, he could be so much heavier than so many metal bands.
A true great of the music world and totally unforgettable to all those who love music by great musicians. First watched him at the Marquee and from that moment he was my music and guitar hero.
23 year old Peter Green and 19 year old Danny Kirwan burning down the house in Boston USA in Peter's widely-copied original tune. Lead lines are wonderfully interlaced by these two exceptional young guitarists with Peter's vocals sealing the magical connection. RIP Peter and Danny. We still love you both!
People forget there was two lead guitar players exchanging lead solos. Danny was always playing his solos against the Green God. Danny was vastly underrated.
100%!! He was very modest and humble Danny Kirwan was a very talented kid and Peter Green always let him have his moment to shine. I think Danny Kirwan is only like 19 here.
One name for cultivating creativity in your band's musicians is "the John Mayall syndrome". John Mayall has launched many great musicians, including Eric Clapton, if I remember correctly, by giving lots of solo time and letting them get warm and get into it. That's what made John Mayall great.
Peter Green, one of the most unlikely guitar heroes in blues music, simply because he has never tried to be a guitar hero. RIP Peter, we will all miss you.
Hey I love Santana (the group) and Carlos Santana, but he gets credit far too often for writing songs like this, he also gets credited for writing Oye Como Va which was written by the legendary Tito Puente. I’ve heard Santana fans praise Carlos Santana for his vocals on “black magic woman”. Carlos did not sing on the Santana albums, he’s had various vocalists over the years. Carlos is a great arranger and has written some awesome songs for sure, But I’ve never understood why many people call Carlos Santana “the best guitarist in the world”. Perhaps they haven’t heard of Django Reinhardt, Les Paul, Andre Segovia, Howard Roberts, or Joe Pass?
So many people have no clue how amazing Fleetwood Mac was before the most famous version of the band. Peter Green and Lindsey Buckingham (Were RIP Peter) are musical geniuses!
I’ve been sadly remiss in not appreciating this version of Fleetwood Mac, I’m going to have to remedy that, time to delve a little deeper into their catalog
20 years old, messed around a load. Got kicked out of college. Went down to the canteen. Peter Green playing Man of the World. Changed my life. That was 50 years ago. Never , ever forgotten. I owe that man for turning my life around. Thank you Peter.
I guess you mean Peter Green's guitar playing, his soul and his passion. The part of Man of the World where Pete says "I wish I'd never been born", well that's not life affirming. In fact the band members said in an interview that maybe they should have paid more attention to Pete because the song seemed like a cry for help. But the guys were young and often you just stay out of people's ways, especially if they might be acting erratic or self destructive. You try not to get sucked into that person's whirlpool. Peter Green's story is a bit of a cautionary tale. The band says he was dosed with some bad acid at a weird party in Munich, Germany. They think maybe Danny Kirwan may have been dosed to but their memories are not clear. Both men went on to develop mental illness. Pete's illness may not have been all natural but maybe self inflicted. I guess it depends upon what you want to believe. Black Magic Woman, Green Manalishi and Man of the World were all great songs but they were a bit dark. By the same logic though Robert Plant and the band could have all gone crazy after Zep's first album and Black Sabbath too. It's just probably more than a coincidence that two guys in a band developed mental problems, two guys who may have both played around with acid. But really, what would I know and I've certainly never dropped acid, for better or worse. I never had an opportunity or temptation to try it. Watch that great band interview and hear them talk about the Berlin party and Pete's illness later on.
@@jaxflfreebird Thoughtful comment, but more than that they all had their own difficulties. Danny Kirwan, great guitar player was already on his way to alcoholism and most of them used drugs and alcohol to excess. For me the destruction of Kirwan a few years later is the saddest. After he finished he never went near a guitar again and became little more than a down and out. Peter Green did make something of a recovery and came back to pay in his later years. Drugs have been so destructive in the rock business, think of all those who died too young - like Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse etc etc etc.
@@keithdickinson9711 Rory changed my life, too! Greeny is right up there as well! Went to see Blind Faith on their American tour in 1969, but Rory's band Taste blew us away!
bill gonzales Of course they are the masters Bill it was their genre, Green, Clapton, Beck and Page would acknowledge that. They put a young white boy take on it though and they actually introduced the blues to an across the board audience across America. Of course the old blues guys were the masters but even they recognised the talent and creativity of these players.
Danny Kirwan and Peter Green both led tragic lives and are now both gone. This video captures a moment in time when they were both soaring above everyone else.
He turned his pickups upside down, bass for treble and treble for bass. I found out somehow but that is the same "broken glass" sound Hendrix got by turning his guitar upside down.
Peter is another shocking example, where his illness did not deprive him of his genius. All of us who are healthy should take care of our fellow human beings who suffer from psychosis. Each of them hides a small or bigger talent inside. My brother admired you. RIP
Peter Green is as good as it gets in greatness of composition and performance in music. Eternal giant of music. Self imposed obscurity and financial loss at lifes' end. Why?
Both my mother and my wife make me feel good when I kiss them but in different ways. Music is the same - it's a "feeling" and it makes you "feel" great...so if different people play the same music of course it will make you "feel" differently in the same way two kisses (one from you mother and one from your wife) will make you feel differently! Isn't that just obvious? They're both good, individual and special. Isn't life is too short to get caught up in comparisons that lead us nowhere?
Why is Peter Green's name NEVER mentioned in the best guitarists of all time? Well, he may be in there, but he should be in the top 10, for sure. RIP, Guitar Man. You were amazing.
We know brother, he always held back I feel, didn't want to show off and be a guitar hero! But in those rare songs and/or occasions he let loose let no other, a rare talent that was so interesting to listen to, his solos were so unpredictable, took you on an incredible ride! Like the 1970 live New Orleans "All over again" is one of the most powerful solos in live rock/blues history, mind blowing!
"He was ranked 38th in Rolling Stone’s list of ‘100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time’ and Mojo magazine has voted him as the third-best guitarist of all time."
@@markcolby2927 that was Clapton who pretty much copied Freddy/BB King licks and didnt do a whole lot else with them...yes Peter Green took the same licks but took it to a new level with the incredible material he wrote, his vocals and the pure emotion in his playing...

Peter Green is just one of those. Extremely rare guitar players. That sometimes has a sound that’s so beautiful. That it makes you come very close to tears.
The real deal Fleetwood Mac with the musical genius Peter Green at the helm. I am 16 all over again listening to this gig, it brings back such great memories and that is truly genius. RIP Peter Green, I doubt if there will ever be anything even near to match his contribution to the Blues.
I continue to be amazed that an old friend (with admittedly much more mainstream taste) doesn't get it that this original version has a whole different feeling than Santana's... one that I, for one, greatly prefer. It has the essence of life in it. RIP Peter and thank you... beyond words.
Can hear this manymany times , always facinatet from this song and Peter Green in that times , from Fleetqood Mac , like they were , fantastic 💚💚💚, thanks so much
This performance is like a painting master piece, not fully apreciated on its time, but until later, by taking you to a memory in the past music can make you realize you were very happy then and you did not realize it. Santana or Green they were just happily living their moment, we should follow that magic trick!!
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac,a wonderful guitarist who made a come back years later after years in a psychiatric hospital and could still play wonderfully.
Peter Green was awesome. ALBATROSS is probably one of the best instrumentals ever. I wish the video showed more of him playing but how awesome to see this now. Time flies but some songs will be around forever. His Blues Jam in Chicago is great too. Can't remember the real name of the double album now...age related memory loss...
I'm also desperately ashamed to have learned only today about Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac, and this song being his - but how awesome is this?! Truly a wonderfully talented soul. May he rest in peace.
I too only just learned abt Peter Green and FM. Three months ago for me. Walked into a hippy store in South Jersey (USA) called Woodstock Trading Post, they had this song playing. Barely got past "hello" when I inquired who was playing. I am in love, and have a new found love of the original Fleetwood Mac
God, what's not to love here? Hairs still stand up when I see Green and Kirwan. Green could write, sing beautiful blues with that throaty voice, and Kirwan had a touch so bewitching it beggars belief.
Peter was the reason that I picked up a guitar. This is the real Fleetwood Mac.
He was the reason I gave up 😢

What I enjoy about Peter Green is his willingness to let other guitarists shine. He is so unselfish and humble in his greatness.
You got to let everybody breathe I'm a bass player he was a hell of a guitarist you're correct to let everybody breathe and have their space to shine
He didn't need to compete because he even gave B.B. King the "cold sweats"

I’m tearful, watching this and wondering what the hell happened to the world!
R.I.P. Peter and Christine. You brightened my life, our lives. ❤️❤️
The real deal Fleetwood Mac with the musical genius Peter Green at the helm. I am 16 all over again listening to this gig, it brings back such great memories and that is truly genius. RIP Peter Green, I doubt if there will ever be anything even near to match his contribution to the Blues.
Another bloody genius gone but not forgotten. RIP Peter.
There was only one such great touch, great song writer and voice RIP Peter
I continue to be amazed that an old friend (with admittedly much more mainstream taste) doesn't get it that this original version has a whole different feeling than Santana's... one that I, for one, greatly prefer. It has the essence of life in it. RIP Peter and thank you... beyond words.
What amazing guitar work: Taste and feeling instead of trying to impress. The magic still works, after all these years.
Thanks to my mum I grew up listening to a lot of Fleetwood Mac . Always loved Peter Danny & Jeremy jammin together!
R.I.P
One of the greatest guitarists ! His Black Magic Woman is so captivating and enthralling ! RIP Maestro !
Indeed! Not sure if you already knew this, but “Black Magic Woman” was written by Peter Green! :)
@@briantaylor2.023 I didn’t know that. Thank you. 😊
PETER GREEN, THE MAN, OOOYER. PEACE TO YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. 🙏✌️😎🏴
Great song and performance by everyone but the cameraman..
its just compilation footage of them, but i know what you mean. Its such a pity they werent around now when absolutely everything seems to be filmed
Can hear this manymany times , always facinatet from this song and Peter Green in that times , from Fleetqood Mac , like they were , fantastic 💚💚💚, thanks so much
This performance is like a painting master piece, not fully apreciated on its time, but until later,
by taking you to a memory in the past music can make you realize you were very happy then and you did not realize it.
Santana or Green they were just happily living their moment, we should follow that magic trick!!
Very eloquent and insightful.
A great loss, here's to you Peter Green. Great Blues guitarist
SRV was a great "Blues" guitarist. Peter who? I've heard of a guy named Jimi, but never a guy named Peter?
Oh Yea! There is a guy named Peter! Framton I believe.
RIP Peter. May God hold you in the palm of his hand. ❤️
Stephen H. : God DID hold Peter in the palm of his hand, gave him a guitar, then set him down on Planet Earth to play the blues.
RIP
Peter was Mr. Humble. Admirable in so many ways.
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac,a wonderful guitarist who made a come back years later after years in a psychiatric hospital and could still play wonderfully.
Which was a sad story from how the great man journeyed into that black hole into the first place,assuming you do know ?
I believe he took LSD,how often I don't know.But it triggered schizophrenia or other psychiatric condition I think.
@stephenstill1890 I have heard that Peter Greenes long acid trip is what inspired Post Toastee. It's interesting, if true.
I love this version. The Boston Tea Party recordings are incredible. Peter's tone never sounded better.
R.I.P. Peter Green. One of the greats is gone.
luckily he'll be back!
Peter Green was awesome. ALBATROSS is probably one of the best instrumentals ever. I wish the video showed more of him playing but how awesome to see this now. Time flies but some songs will be around forever. His Blues Jam in Chicago is great too. Can't remember the real name of the double album now...age related memory loss...
Albatross! My man! What an awesome song!
Blues Jam At Chess
I could listen to this song on repeat all day. Its mesmerizing and "puts a spell on me baby."

2019 anyone listening still?
yes
Yup 👍
Yep
Love youtube!!
I'm still listening in 1981😕
Peter Green was the best of all and brought fame to the group
Music of 60's and 70's full of heart and soul
I'm 19 and have a fond appreciation for Peter because Fleetwood Mac is one of my favorite groups of all-time. Rest In Peace Peter
RIP Peter Green, thank you for the music ❤️
This is truly wonderful. Brings a lump to my throat. I am 74 and i lived in those halcyon years of great music. RIP Peter Green.
RIP Peter Green one of the greatest blues guitar player ❤️
Peter Green was such a talent. He struggled with his demons, but that could not detract from his abilities. He left us too soon, even at 73.
I'm also desperately ashamed to have learned only today about Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac, and this song being his - but how awesome is this?! Truly a wonderfully talented soul. May he rest in peace.
I too only just learned abt Peter Green and FM. Three months ago for me. Walked into a hippy store in South Jersey (USA) called Woodstock Trading Post, they had this song playing. Barely got past "hello" when I inquired who was playing.
I am in love, and have a new found love of the original Fleetwood Mac
Better late than never...
What a band! Every member brought his special magic.
I want to give a thumbs up every time I listen to it.
God, what's not to love here? Hairs still stand up when I see Green and Kirwan. Green could write, sing beautiful blues with that throaty voice, and Kirwan had a touch so bewitching it beggars belief.
