Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - "Oh Well", Live@ Music Mash 1969
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac throwing it down on the BBC's Monster Music Mash in 1969. With a little more work, I think this could have been at least as recognizable of a blues-rock hit as Led Zeppelin's "Black Dog".
Said by others who actually knew him, Peter Green was so self-effacing he named his band after his friends, drummer and bassist Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. The only guitarist to give B.B. King the cold sweats. Fantastic guitarist who will be greatly missed.
Hi,how are you?
Classic blues/rock.
He named it that because he knew he wasn’t going to be in the band long.
Although at some of their initial gigs they were billed as "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, also featuring Jeremy Spencer." You can see why they shortened it later...
Exactly. So not really self-effacing.
One of the greatest lines ever! "Don't ask what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to." Brilliant. R.I.P. Peter.
Amen. ✌💖⚘⚘🎶
Yep.
@Jarrod Procell
Ah... wrong thread? Wrong, period? The only similarity I can see is both play(ed) for British/English groups. 😊
Love rules. X
Well said, even if you're a Gooner! 😂👍
RIP to a legend of British blues rock.
man your videos are ace, agreed RIP to this legend.
What a guy -
what a musician
Oh Nick didn't know you were a fan like the videos btw
RIP
Blistering and sensitive playing .Miss you Peter.
Imagine playing guitar in a group with Peter Green and you get to play the lead break. And you play it superbly just like Danny Kirwan does.
Love Future Games and Bare Trees🎸
He never gets the credit he deserves
Peter & Danny:
In the skies,it could be heaven!
Thank you for mentioning Danny.
Danny was my fave.
Peter Green, quite obviously a pure genius, but you have to hand it to the great Danny Kirwan here too, they both make this track sound so flipping good !!
Danny deserves a LOT more credit and respect than is given.❤
I was going to ask if that was Danny or Jeremy
Thank you.
Danny Kirwan may not be remembered how I would like but he certainly is by me and I listen and enjoy his playing all the time
Yes, I love Danny's guitar work and several of his compositions as well!
They demoted Jeremy to the maracas on this one (and others) lol
i heard many version of "oh well" but this is epic, his giggling add extra verse on it. R.I.P Legend ❤
yes sir
~ Legend ~ Forever
LOUIE SALINAS wee
Peter kept perfect time although the drummer fucked up, what a pro, and a tragic destiny.. R. I. P Peter green
He’s giggling because he came back in singing in a different key.
This riff is so badass. I can't even begin to capture it in words.
Was a fine effort though 👍
its...no words...
black dog? naaah.... this THIS is THE riff of riffs!
All time super the very best 👌
Buckingham did it very well too. ;-)
The REAL Fleetwood Mac❤
Absolutely.
All the Fleetwood Macs are real and pretty good. Peter Green's, Jeremy Spencer's, Danny Kirwan's, Bob Welch's, Lindsey Buckingham's...
It's idiotic to not be just enjoying but rivalizing them
Boy were we the lucky generation or what?! Being a teenager and all the wonderful music that came in the late 60's early 70's like Mr Green.....
Lucky? Spoiled is more like it.✌🏼🎶
Peter seemed so relaxed and happy at this point in his life.
What happened barely a year later was perhaps one of THE greatest tragedies in Blues or Rock history.
RIP, Peter Green - one of the VERY best.
What happened a year later? Him leaving the band?
@@higher_media He basically lost his grip on relative sanity, and virtually all his creativity and musical genius, following what was reported to be a acid-fuelled literal “lost weekend” in Germany.
His friends - including McVie, Fleetwood and Kirwan -barely recognised the old Peter from that moment on, he gave away almost everything he owned - including his favourite Les Paul - and drifted into total musical and emotional obscurity.
@@mikegray8776 Tf? Really? I hope Peter Green was at least fairly happy doing that. Ive quit doing music for a while only because I was too depressed to do it. I hope that wasnt the case with him.
@@mikegray8776 tbh yeah it's blind luck that that LP went to someone responsible, and capable of doing it justice - it could just as easily have disappeared into obscurity
@@levipartridge2790 I think he already knew that Gary Moore had a pretty sparkling future ahead of him - even though he had yet to make any great impact at all at that point.
the real Fleetwood mac
Not the best though!
@@robw8173 just 10x better
@@robw8173 Maybe you never saw em live? 1a Thee Very Best of the "British Blues Explosion" and blues rock bands ever! Who
knows how good the LSD was in Germany then when Green attended that party? Obviously not Owsley! Shame! Forget Clapton, Bless these band members forever.....👍🎸🎶💖
@@robw8173 go away child
Is there any other?
RIP Peter Green. I saw him with Fleetwood Mac in the late 60s when he was at the top of his game. A brilliant guitarist, songwriter and vocalist. What came later was such a tragedy. Still, he left us with some superlative music. One of the best.
You are so lucky.. I wish I'd have been around to see them then 🖤
@@la_bart Thanks Laura. I saw them at about the time of this film clip. Even then ( with hindsight) you could see Peter Green was stepping back from the limelight. He stood at the back and let Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan appear more as as front men.
@@chrismorris6585 the story of Danny Kirwan is the Fleetwood Mac’s most tragic.
I can't live without Mayall clapton/Green Fleetwood mac/mayall. The Mayall years for both guitarists were sensational. Best in Brit blues
@@chrismorris6585 I played in a band with Peter Green
Peter was so incredible. The Mac at their best. May he forever rest in peace.
It’s terrible that there’s so little footage of this Fleetwood Mac lineup.
There was no Fleetwood Mac without Peter Green...a legend..
there was…. it just wasn’t as good
Bob Welch
Idk, the era with Danny Kirwan 70-72 was alright. I mean Danny wasnt as good a writer but he was definitely just about as good a guitarist if Peter Green would let him play lead often
Peter Green, legend, genius and someone who made my teenage years bearable. RIP :-(
Sorry to hear that. Not Dylan, not Neil Young, not Hendrix but Peter was there? Are you Jewish? Oh never mind.
Amen
To bad but the solo is Danny
@@petemiller352 Well done
@@oppothumbs1 hilarious. No seriously. Y go on!
R.I.P. to Peter Green, such a tortured genius
Not really. He was just a normal bloke … until he fried his brains with LSD.
@@burlatsdemontaigne6147 Many, many people (including yours truly) did copious quantities of psychedelics back then and came out of the era none the worse for it. Unfortunately, some people, like PG and Roger Barrett developed substance-Induced psychosis because they had some type of rudimental disorder which was set off or exacerbated by tripping.
@@burlatsdemontaigne6147 Not true. His mental health, schizophrenia, were real.
@Theseustoo Astyages Yup, Roger is his real first name.
@@burlatsdemontaigne6147 he didnt fry his brain. He had schizofrenia and LSD just happend to trigger it, if you have schizofrenia even hot food can trigget just like 9000 other things. You are either born with it or you dont got it and never will
This song is so fantastic it is just beyond. The rhythm, lightness, humour, joy. Beyond words.
A little Zeppelin flavor
Here because of Slash
Ty slash
That guitar is with Kirk Hammet.
No one asked why the fuck you were here for you narcissist turd bucket.
Idem
Yo también. LOL
IF ANYONE READS THIS please take away one thing. It’s Danny Kirwan playing lead guitar. The most underrated and under appreciated (even by his own band) guitarist that ever lived. Please look him up, listen to his music. I say this because his story is the most tragic story of Fleetwood Mac. He sadly never overcame his demons like Peter managed to.
Yes, and, unfortunately, he has been largely forgotten about. At least, his music could have been promoted more.
Yes - camera people weren't always so bright back then.
I don't think the band underappreciated him, Christine always spoke well of him. Technically all of the originals have been forgotten by the Nick's Buckingham fans. Kirwan was however very problematic, Green had trouble with him as did the rest, hence why he was booted out after that episode of refusing to play on a show just to prove a point. Hell he was so mentally unstable he lived in the streets during the 80s and died in a homeless shelter. His three solo albums are really good tho. Hell all of the Spencer, Green and Kirwan solo stuff is great tbh.
There are 3 lead guitar players on stage but only 2 play and both Kirwan and Green swapped lead parts often and on this song they mirror each others playing in parts.
@@megadave1197 Green remained damaged, but yes, great that he got back to a place where he was happy and got to play in front of people again. Kirwan’s life was definitely tragic, but so were so many from that time. Youth, fragile artistic mentalities and copious amounts of LSD were not a recipe for a stable, happy life. The late 1960s flower power stuff is, to some degree, a mid-70s marketing invention.
I love how it is Kirwan who is actually playing the lead guitar here.
Playing like his life depended on it. So talented.
They switch
The Mac had three great guitarists, Jeremy Spencer is a great player too.
@@davidstrang3575 I never realized that they had 3 guitarists at one point until I saw this video.
The one and only REAL Fleetwood Mac. RIP Peter, you're a legend.
Agreed. Most Fleetwood Mac fans have no idea that this music exists.
I once (5 yr ago) played this@ work to a 18 year old Fleetwood Mac fan & it blew her away,, didn't want her to miss out on the real thing🙂.
Don't forget Danny!
You said it all. Feel sorry for those who weren't around for this.
@@deskducker I’m discovering Fleetwood Mac. What album would you recommend? And what do you mean by the real FM? What album do you consider to be their last classic (before line up change I guess considering your comment)
The only guitarist that ever gave BB King “the cold sweats”!! Love the way he played that Les Paul, RIP
I know.
What a joy to watch Peter Green play this. Total stage and song mastery. And Danny Kirwan doing the solos.
Yeah man Danny was amazing. Never got the credit he was due
Mi K Fleetwood, is the only survivor?
Fabulous riff, and Danny Kirwan's lead work adds perfectly to the magic
I discovered Peter Green 2 days ago... my goodness the feeling you get once you realize you have discovered/stumbled upon a GENIUS is incredible. I have lots of listening to do.✌🏽&❤️
Same...kinda. I have heard Peter Green's name thrown around a lot, but I haven't really looked him up till now. He is absolutely fantastic.
You’ve also just witnessed Danny Kirwan too. Look him up. His story is more tragic than Peters
That's so strange I found out about him two days ago as well and it's been 10 year's since your comment
Well Lyndsey Buckingham was the last guitar/singer guy that led the band Do you know of him?Stevie Nicks?Bob Welsh?
indeed. i only discovered Peter Green a few years ago... the same sentiment... such greatness
That brilliantly fluffed transition with the congas made Peter laugh so wonderfully, have always loved that moment in this clip!
Dear old Danny was doing the heavy lifting here, God bless him.
I think they had a fall out in later years.
Not really Green gave him the lead part mainly but mirrors him note for note in a lot of it.
one of the most badass riffs in music history!
Absolutely
Not just a great guitarist but an very underrated singer.
The guitar on this leaves the greatest impression.
RIP Peter, one of Britain's greatest guitarists, so under rated.
Peter Green is a great guitarist, we all know. But come on! Danny Kirwan deserves big recognition, he practically was left behind PG, playing the solo. This time each member was a "A legend on his own mind"
Yes, Mr. Kirwan with the rippin' leads. Really added to the track.
Someone who knows the real Mac deal
Big Danny fan! Carried the band thru Kiln Hse to Bare Trees with his creativity. He had the best voice....
@@williamwalton583 Danny was the best Mac ever had!
@@Magnetron33 He was da man! Such a pity he couldn't appreciate himself as the beautiful creator he was meant to be.... WAS!
I was hoping to be the first to wish peter a peaceful rest on this page, his best ever song and performance. Rolling stone voted him 58th best guitarist ever. 58th?! They clearly don't know shit.
that list is ridiculous, Gary Moore, Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton should be all on it and high up in the list too.
At least they acknowledged him. Too many people out there who don't even know he existed -- some of them even claim to be Fleetwood Mac fans.
That Les Paul of his went from Peter to Gary Moore & now in the hands of Kirk Hammet....WOW!
Of course they don’t know shit! The journalists who write that rubbish and the majority of people voting, don’t play guitar, and so, don’t understand what is involved in the playing of the sounds they are hearing. Hence they are unwittingly voting, for their favourite personality/showman and believing them to be one of the Worlds best guitarists.
What do want from a commie rag like Rolling Stone.
This is my first time ever hearing the original band. Sounds great! 🤘🏻✌🏼
Peter Greens amazing Les Paul, with the out of phase hummbuckers, given to Gary Moore, now owned by Kurt Hammett.
RIP Danny. He could really play.
He certainly could. A fact many here appear to be completely ignorant of.
@@markcynic808 danny was my fave. Not only play, what about the voice... Mellifluous! Child of mine, jewel eyed judy et al. And probably, like all beauty, to fade from memory into obscurity. I'm probably a bit old now Mark
@@williamwalton583 Totally agree
Danny Kirwan's best, too!
RIP PETER GREEN ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST OF ALL TIMES
Epic performance and a monumental step in the history of Rock music. Peter Green’s phrasing was thereafter copied, countless times by all Rock bands. A genius, an amazing guitarist and a superb singer. R.I.P ‘Peter The Great’.
Did you actually watch the video??? The lead guitar is Danny Kirwan. The phrasing is Danny Kirwan!!! Not Peter
@@megadave1197 Peter Green composed the song. They change ''roles''. What do you want to prove?
Danny needs for credit
Danny Kirwan must be the most invisible guitarist that ever lived.
Its madness!!! People here watching the video and crediting Peter Greens phrasing and lead guitar. I thought I was going mad until I read your comment. It’s like Danny is invisible
Danny is bad Ass!
@@megadave1197 No one doubts Kirwan's contribution. Stop doubting Green's.
One of the greatest riffs ever!
If there was a compilation for "Greatest Riffs in Rock", this would surely be on it. (Others might be: "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth, "Mississippi Queen" by Nazareth, "25 or 6 to 4" (I'm sure I screwed up the title, but that great early Chicago song), "Simple Sister" by Procol Harum, "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream, "21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson, "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin.... actually there could be several volumes.
@@marcfedakgreat riff compilation.
BB King once said Peter Green was the only white man to make his spine shiver playing guitar.RIP to a true guitar genius
I think he even said he made him tear up
Green made the King go into cold sweats
King's exact words were "...he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats."
@@That70sGuitarist Funny how some famous quotes are actually mis-quotes.
Like Ben Franklin didnt say actually say `beer is proof of gods love for man` but was translated from a french quote. Ben really said it was from the fruit on the vine that was proof of gods love for man, not beer.
Didn't know BB had said that. What more would anyone need before bowing down to genius?
This is the old Mac. This IS Fleetwood Mac. Peter Green was Fleetwood Mac at that time. The greatest blues guitar player that the UK has ever produced. In London someone wrote on a wall: Eric Clapton is God. But underneath someone else wrote: But Peter Green is better. You can believe that statement. Peter Green was an incredible artist, but he hated being called a genius. He was satisfied to be simply called highly talented.
Eric WAS GOD🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Kirwan looks about 12 then smokes the shit out of that bad ass riff. Such an underrated player
In my opinion, Peter Green is one of, if not, the most underrated guitar player of all time. Dude replaced Eric Clapton in the Bluesbreakers at like 17 years old or something. This song has more power and emotion behind it with so few electronics (compared to what we have today), it is crazy!!!!
He's not underrated, never was underrated. Why state such utter rubbish?
Danny Kirwan was underrated and under appreciated. Even by his own band!
@@megadave1197 Kirwan went Jesus or something but heard once on RUclips still has licks
i agree with your sentiment. however so much underrated but just not known and recognised well today. for example, if we asked Jimmy Page, he would probably speak in awe of Peter
@@markcynic808 because they, like so many RUclips commentators, know nothing about music
Did Peter Green laugh in the middle of the song??
What a great song, no wonder lots of people have covered it 😀.
Spectacular 🌠🌟
He missed the vocal for the second verse and came in late. That's why he was laughing.
Don’t know anyone else who even listened to this single when it came out. Thought it was fantastic then: not just way ahead of its time, but on a different timeline. Sounds just as searingly brilliant today. One of a kind.
Obviously a great guitarist with his own style. That great voice sometimes gets forgotten.
Fleetwood Mac was never better than when Peter Green was a member
Wonderful guitar work, Danny and Peter. It doesn't get any better than that, oh well!
The soul of Fleetwood Mac... The root... The magic... Peter Green.
This guy ...made me forget Mr. Zappa ... ha ha .. no doubt ..Peter Green was the super genius man .
Danny Kirwan and Peter Green are absolute legends!!!
Great Britain you have such great musicians!
Greetings from Germany
Fleetwood Mac: one of the best bands ever........and my favourite.
Alex from Italy.
Mr. Green gave us his all, and we music lovers gladly took all we could get. Hard to put into words how great he was. Thank you.
They used to write in the subways in London " Green is God"
RIP Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac. He passed away July 2020 😥

Hi,how are you?
What else did ya find?
Predecessor to Led Zeppelin’s ‘Black Dog’
RIP Peter Green, one of London’s finest
That opening riff , phenomenal, & Danny Kirwan is immense!
Except this is all Peter. Danny was awesome though
@@shaunm.2738 you can clearly see on the video Danny playing lead guitar. Are you blind pal 🤦🏻♂️😂
It's almost sounds like "beating around the bush" 😒
3 legendary blues guitarists in one group. Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, and Danny Kirwan, all virtuosos in their own right. Unfortunately, all 3 would succumb to drugs in a span of 2 years of this recording. One of the greatest rock tragedies to beset one single group in such a short time.
Liam Gallagher brought me here
In The Beatles: Get Back, on Jan 22nd John Lennon talks about how sweet this exact Fleetwood Mac performance was. Through the power of the internet I am now here, also being blown away by this version of "Oh Well"
I don't think so. This show was taped near the end of 1968.
RIP Peter & Danny. Never be forgotten 😥
Great video of the band playing live this was a new track and they had not played it a lot and at 1:52 there is a slight delay and Pete is smiling and then outright laughing at this little slip, he looks so happy and I think that's how I want to remember him RIP.
The most underrated rock artist of all times.What a phenomenal rock god
R I P Peter.We love you for ever ...and yes thank you for the music.
Yet you don’t mention Danny Kirwan who is actually playing lead guitar here. If Peter is underrated then what’s Danny 🤦🏻♂️
@@megadave1197 DANNY WAS A FANTASTIC GUITARIST, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. The one person who benefited most was mick Fleetwood. Such is an unfair world.
JJ Cale is in that club also. Quite few by the masses at least those who knew/know know.
@@megadave1197 also very very underated danny was brilliant so was jeremy spencer 3 great guitar players in one band???!!
by far the best version of fleetwood mac. ever, by miles.
The others were soppy middle of the road American pap. This is the real thing.
Probably the number one band i can think of that basically had two careers
@@timothyedwards3623 jefferson airplane /starship were two very different groups. Compare White Rabbit to the awful stadium rock crap.
Snob nonsense, There is a reason Green's FM is mostly forgotten these days and the Rumours era FM only gets stronger. I love Green's FM but it was never going to change music as the later FM did. Super solid blues rock with cool riffs, that's it.
@@jhrdrake7205 i guess if you like soft rock. nothing to do with snobbery, just musical taste, i would guess you are in love with stevie nicks.
RIP the two members of Fleetwood Mac
Peter Green (October 29, 1946 - July 25, 2020), aged 73
Danny Kirwan (May 13, 1950 - June 8, 2018), aged 68
You both will always be remembered as legends.
Absolutely
But here Danny K is doing the stuff - I like them both equally - PG got the fame but DK played more of the solos than most realise - Jigsaw Puzzle Blues, man of The World, Like it That way Oh Well .. all DK.
backthisway source for man of the world ? Can’t seem to find comprehensive personnel online
Peter Green was absolutely devastating on guitar.
The real Fleetwood Mac! 🎸
Peter has a laugh when the band blows the percussion break. On their boss new single. Live TV. You can bet it was mentioned in the dressing room. Doesn't matter, It's beautiful video and sound from a lineup of this band I really love. Cant get enough and thanks for the great quality post.
I was probably 17 first time I heard this in 69 on the only FM underground rock radio station in Dallas at that time. Opened my head to British blues rock, along with Cream, Savoy Brown, Alexis Korner, John Mayal etc. And jazz from Georgie Fame.
Underground radio in Dallas. KNUS....the news under the hour. Loved Tim Brandon.l...Dallas is the best;
You about my age then and I saw Fleetwood at that time and a couple of years later I thing John Mayal which at the time had Eric Clapton in there before he left and formed his own band Derek and the Dominoes.
Excellent. A million miles from the 'Americanised' Fleetwood Mac that followed . Peter Green is a legend....and fancy seeing young Alan Price in the intro.
Although that being said, Peter Green did sound very American most of the time.
Whoa, wait a sec! If not for Stevie & Lindsay, Fleetwood Mac would’ve remained a better than average opening act.
@@jennifersman7990 shut up.
@@jennifersman7990 Albatross got to No. 1 in the UK early in 1969.

Be careful what you ask, my dear. I might not give the answer that you wanna hear...
Here’s a question who’s playing lead guitar here??
John Lennon sent me here
Wow this sounds so far off from FM I listened to in the 80s. This version of the band is far superior than the popband it became.
His best performance of 'Oh Well' RIP Peter.
He’s playing rhythm guitar. The lead guitar is Danny Kirwan!!!! Wake up open your eyes 🤦🏻♂️

On the Mount Rushmore of guitarists for sure!
X9Bull yeah, but he’s no Rory Gallagher.....
@@lexxydoor Or Gary Moore
He just died 😔. It's July 25,2020
Last year I met John Mc Vie and we talked about Peter he said that he thought Peter in his heyday was better than Clapton. I agreed with him. A beautiful guitar player. Rest in peace ✌
@Bob Gary technically, in terms of speed and fretboard knowledge. But in terms of taste even Gary would nod his head to Peter. No disrespect to GM fantastic guitarist.
@Bob As stated previously Bob, I am not talking breadth of technical ability here. It's all about taste. Would GM have become GM without PG? Would PG have been PG without EC, AC, TBW, BB. RJ............the list goes on and on!
@Bob "Lesse"? are you French Bob ? If you meant lesser notes, more taste, then Oui. Je préférer!
@Bob Funny. your intuition isn't great. I have been playing guitar and singing in bands since I was 15, only 40 years! The key thing is that the musician must serve the song. Gary himself acknowledged that he had been overplaying after still got the blues and actually dialled it back on his later recordings. Taste over flash. Still got the blues was effectively a reworking of Parisienne walkways. I am not knocking GM, after Rory Gallagher he is one of the best irish guitarists. Still prefer Jake Burns though! You know what they say about opinions though?
Clapton is GOD 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸!!!!!!
Danny's playing is amazing.
1969 to about 1973...4 or 5 years of pure magic on FM nationwide. You'd hear such an eclectic blend of music in a half hours' time. Fleetwood Mac with "Oh Well", followed by John McLaughlin's "A Love Supreme", then maybe something from Sopwith Camel, like..."Fazon", ending with a taste of Miles Davis from "Bitches Brew"...and on it went. Then the corporate vultures took over with the likes of Boston, Kansas, Foreigner, Styx, etc....and the dream was over.
That’s pretty damn accurate timeline
Often Forgotten Peter Green is One Of the All time Greats & cemented his place in History
I always loved this song. Roots but offbeat and hilarious lyrics and indeed self effacing.
Beatles get back part 2 at 1hr 19 min John talking about Fleetwood Mac on late night 1969 and the singer.
Great find.
Danny Kirwan an Peter Green two great guitar players touched equally by genius and madness. So sad that D.K. gave up.
Best song ever written...Peter Green was and is the Dogs Bollocks.
Rest peacefully great man...Your playing... Your tone... The colour and shape of your sound... will forever be unmatched... immortal...
Everybody has their favourite white blues guitarist from that era and each one has his merits. Clapton invented "the sound" (Les Paul into a cranked Marshall) and Page really invented Heavy Metal. Jeff Beck had his moments too and it's great to see that he's still playing creative music now and not just resting on his laurels. But my favourite is Peter Green. He could rock with the rest but he also had the most delicate touch of all of them. Listen to him playing a slow minor blues like "I've Got A Good Mind To Give Up Living" or "First Time Alone" on John Mayall's "Blues From Laurel Canyon" and you realise that he really had the blues. B B KIng famously said that he was the only white blues guitarist who gave him the cold sweats and I'm with him on that.
totally disagree with all the bollocks written here. Green was multi-gifted the rest don't come close.
Strong stuff. I hope you don't entirely disagree with me!
+Faye Heffernan To be fair they are all brilliant guitarists and excel at different things, haha even as a diehard Page fan, I have to say the best guitarist outta those 4 is Jeff Beck
So many to choose from, but for me it will always be Johnny Winter, unless you're talking about UK based guitarists only. Then it would have to be Peter Green as my favorite. (Just my opinion.)
Blues from Laurel Canyon was actually Mick Taylor playing...before his time with the Stones
Oh Well! Possibly the best Fleetwood Mac was Peter Greens' ♥ What a talent he was! ♥

*Green
This here, right here, is rock music. Thanks Peter....Im grateful for you.
Kirwan and Green knew they had something good. Their rivalry drove them to be the best, even if it made them lock horns and just hate each other, which is a shame, given the high-quality sound their dual guitar riffs produced. This sound defines Fleetwood Mac for me. Thanks for posting!
Kirwan and Green didn't hate each other, as far as I know. But if you were talking about Kirwan and Bob Welch, it would be understandable.
@@rabootocoelhinho5698 Kirwan and Green had a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for each other. They apparently had bitter disagreements at times, but always managed to produce magic. They were both going through a lot at the time, and both reflected fondly on each other in interviews at later points in their lives.
