The music of a gentler time in humanity. Surreal... It's like a friggin' dream sequence listening to this song. There are so many beautiful pieces out there, but some just have something special flitting about in them. THIS is one of those songs.
Wow, im 65 and considered myself very knowledgeable on music. Tonight March 27 2024 is the first time I've ever heard this. Mind-blowing. Ive literally collected thousands of albums, been to hundreds of concerts, played un a dozen bands. How is it possible i missed this beautiful song? I heard it on Mindhunter show. I thought it was the Climax Blues Band so i looked it up. The music from the 60s 70s 80s will never be repeated. I think that's why the world is so messed up today. 75% of today's music has no soul or love involved in it. Peter Green was a genius.
It's also the vibration / frequency of the music produced in the 60s, 70s, 80s - I grew up listening to this type of music - before the frequency of music was hijacked and corrupted - by greed and nefarious intentions.
Close my eyes and TRY to forget my daily grind, my overwhelming responsibilities, my inner demons and my lifes choices........Im sailing in the South Pacific on a majestic catamaran with a calm sea and beautiful sunset. Thats where this masterpiece takes me, if only for a moment.
@No Brakes, Very well said, I can totally relate!! I never tire of listening to this, I sometimes play it to relax and fall asleep, as I have sleep issues. I play it on a one hour loop vidio. It takes me away, at least for awhile, and I love the ocean. Take Care, Blessings🙏🌟💞🌏🎶🎶💯
Music genius known as Peter Green! I first heard this beautiful instrumental when I was 13 years old in 1969, still listen to it now in 2023. His music will live on forever. ♥ RIP
Hello there is nothing wrong with showing those emotions, and I believe it further enhances the love you have for your husband .families are eternal you will see him again. i suffered the loss of my beautiful wife Helen, 18 months ago miss her everyday but I know one we will be. Reunited one day, wishing you well always as you go through this mortal. Journey sending love to you❤❤.
I feel so ashamed, I have loved this song ever since I first heard it in 1968, when I was 8 years old. Later when I started earning money, I tried to buy it. Probably because I thought it was the Moody Blues, I couldn't find it. I have been a Mac fan since the late 70's but my brain never connected the dots. My apologies to Fleetwood Mac and especially to Peter Green RIP.
This wonderful melody brings back memories of growing up in the Cornish fishing village of St Agnes in the early 1970s, then leaving school to join the Merchant Navy and sailing the oceans with nothing but the ocean surrounding us, not another ship in sight with only the seagulls following in our wake. A young full of life's expectancies 16yr old lad. Now as a 66yr old living in Thailand Albatross still transports me back in time to those wonderful carefree times.
I used to be a bus driver and when I got stressed out by customers, idiot drivers and awful traffic I'd play this song in my head and it would get me through my shift. RIP Peter. Youre sadly missed. ❤
J'ai entendu cette merveilleuse musique pour la première fois dans les années 60 sur Radio luxemburg que j'arrivais à capter au fin fond de la Bretagne. On ne l'entendait pas sur les radios françaises et j'ai racheté le disque à une amie qui se l'était procuré outre Manche. Quel bonheur d'écouter cette musique d'une beauté surnaturelle, une musique qui me fait pleurer et me fait percevoir l'existence d'un merveilleux infini....quelque part là-bas ... là-bas . Comme la musique grégorienne. Une musique qui séduit toutes les générations et que mon grand-père, mélomane, avait tout de suite adoptée en 1972.
I was so lucky to see them play this ethereal masterpiece. It opened a door to a new place in music. Then they would follow with Rattlesnake Shake! What a great band! RIP.
Saw them play live at The Warehouse in New Orleans on a double bill with The Grateful Dead the night the Dead got "busted down on Bourbon Street," tripping my ass off. Magical night.
Such a magical melody. It makes me so mystically moody just like the first time I ever heard it. After travelling all night on foot I crossed an unmarked border into Holland and fell asleep in the woods. In the morning I woke up in a strange new country with a feeling so untethered and strange - yet so fully transcendent...like careening across an ocean on a wind drift. Then I walked into a nearby cafe and I heard this song on the juke box.
Not sure if you know this but this masterpiece was influenced by a Chuck Berry classic called "Deep Feelings," released in 1957. Take a listen sometime.
When my sister was terminally ill she requested this song at her funeral. Made most of us weep. When I listen to it now it takes me right back to those surreal days but also remember the happy times we shared
THIS HEADY DELIRIUM TAKES ME BACK IN A TREASURED TIME CAPSULE .. PETER GREENE .. GUITARIST EXTRAORDINAIRE .. A TIME OF THE SWEET INNOCENCE OF BEING HUNGARY AND OH SO NAIVE AT HEART .. ALWAYS MUSIC IS THE FOOD OF LOVE .. B .. XOXO ❤
It's been one of my all time favorite songs ever since someone gave me the LP in the 60s. And Fleetwood Mac then became one of my all time favorite groups, to this day...before, during, and after Nicks and Buckingham, including everyone's solo and regrouping performances.
My Big Brother was doing the same thing you were in Germany while in the Army in 1972 according to him telling me many years ago. I will be 60 years old next year. He saw many good Concerts over in Europe too !
Still here, winging the airwaves, her name is wisdom, just come back from doing nothing but soaring the thermals over the southern oceans , then flew north and laid an egg on an island here as in the past, extraordinary , this song reminded why you have to remember where you are going even if at times doesn't always make sense
I remember in 1976 I was 6-7 sat on the floor playing with mums records oops 😬 anyway I put this on an i was mesmerized..even today when I need to be somewhere else I put this on, aaaah pure bliss. I’m remembering me on floor an mum doing the ironing, good times.. b safe everyone 😊
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
1st time (68 or 69)I heard this & Oh Well made me stop & listen..... back in the late 60's this was good stuff & now here in 2020 it's still good stuff......
Oh... So beautiful. I heard it a lot during childhood, and I found it very soothing. And now the piece has new meaning to me. A couple of days ago, I was sitting next to someone who's very special to me. We are in the process of getting to know one another, having a good time, laugh and cry together, having wonderful conversations, flirting, warning each other about our own flaws... And then the band started to play Albatross. Just as I thought, oh I would like to hold him, he lay his head on my shoulder, then we held each other tight in a most tender way, just... BEING. The world stood still for a couple of minutes as if our artist souls were being carried by the wind that carried the Albatross...😍
Heard this in the late 60's, it is my favourite piece of music - my mother's and my late partner's too; he played it at my mother's funeral, and it was played at his. It resonates somewhere deep in my soul, I love playing it on a continuous loop. Magical.
Music to guide their beloved spirits onward. A beautiful selection you all had made. This was played at my brother's funeral, along with Eva Cassidy's version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by the Hollies.
Once, long ago, 40-50 years ago, in the American US Southwest, hundreds or maybe thousands of miles from the oceans (Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of California/Sea of Cortez), I witnessed an albatross fly over from east to west.
When i heard this song I was in London Walthamstow East London iam 81years old Love this Song i was about 30years Old when I first heard this Absolutely fantastic ❤❤❤
Turn down the lights , light a few candles , glass of wine and let your mind and the music take away your stress . Chill out in the best way. Instrumental music best way to relax.
David: Love your Analogy. Sort of “slow down the world i want to get off”…….... I love this piece of classic stillness. In my humble opinion, Peter did this kind of “Reflection / Stillness” as i like to call it, in Oh Well Part 2. Albatross included, Both mesmerizing, very still, and they are both able to transport the listener to their very own and “special place”. Very rare to feel that in music, no matter what genre you like….A true test of the musicians skill in communicating their inner soul……to us. A special gift indeed 🌅…Not often found.
my father asked me about who was this song waback in late 1968 = i remember that first every time i hear this song ! and i told who = fleetwood mac - albatross .
Il existait, à la télévision française, dans les années 70, un jeu de rébus qui utilisait Albatross comme jingle.. je regardais le jeu avec mon papa.. et je pense à lui à chaque fois que j'entends cette musique. Je n'aurais d'ailleurs jamais imaginé , à ce moment là,être un jour grand fan de Peter Green. RIP Peter !
A genius. I saw him at the Long Beach Blues Festival late last century. He was eating dinner alone at the Hyatt. I approached his table and told him he was the most amazing guitarist I had ever heard. He didn’t say anything, just stared at me.
I can recalling hearing this tune for the first time back in 1968 when I was a young, impressionable guitarist who thought Peter Greene was one of the best guitarists of the current era. Albatross got scant airplay on the US charts however. Why, I haven't a clue, because it is a beautiful piece of music. Mastery in simplicity -- a very difficult goal to achieve.
Michael McBroom it was no different in Australia. Hardly ever heard it back in the 60’s & 70’s. Shame as I agree with you. It’s a beautiful piece of music.
@@shedmanx3640 Nah, don't agree Sheddy. Albatross got heaps of air play on the radio in '69 and the early 70s here. They even use to play the clip on tv of the Albatross flying over the ocean in glorious Black and White. I was a kid living near the beach in the swinging 60s.....I wish my parents never moved in the 70s!! This was the real Fleetwood Mac, sadly after Oh Well, they disappeared from our airwaves until the horrible Rumours era.😮💨
It is beautiful but 16 minutes was too long for airplay back then. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was 17 minutes, but they had to release a single that was 2:52 for airplay.
I used to see Peter in Oxted surrey many years ago . He was clearly coming back into the world and The Splinter Group was formed during that time. What a legacy first heard this in 1967 maybe.
I just love albatross. I keep playing it.iam Albatrossmad.iwould love to see the Albatross for reel.but to oldnow I am 87.so I am going to have the Albatross music. When I pop off.love it X
This is a wonderful song 🎵 🎵 also my favourite birds 🐦 very relaxing November 13th year is 2024 time is 03;04 iam 81years old This is a wonderful song 🎵 ❤️ ♥️ 💕
Heaven arrays beautiful sound whoever came up with this tune should be knighted forever..takes me back to my childhood days in slow motion with tearful moments. Majestic ❤
Es una obra maestra que conpuso Peter Green y tiene 3 guitarras la suya la de Jeremy Spencer y Dany Kiwan am bajo Mac la Vie y como no en la batería Mic Fleewood. Una gozada y tengo el disco de época de fleewood mac que escucho una y otra vez y no me canso gracias por esta música...
I walked onto a beach in cairns and was awash with shade but a few feet away the water was immersed in full sunlight i had thisbplaying through my headphones! It was a surreal experience as i never had been to a beach with those conditions! ❤❤❤❤
Although I lived through the 1960s both here in America (East Coast) and England I had never heard this song until recently (2023). I think I've listened to it around 50 times or so. It takes me back to my high school days and my 2 friends, both dead now. I don't know why given that I'd not heard it back then. It brings great peace to me when listening to it. Only good memories surface. Thank you Fleetwood Mac wherever you are.
very clever how the cymbal sounds like the waves of the ocean lapping against the shore. I will never tire of this instrumental by Fleetwood Mac I see me in my 90's blasting this out on a Summers day thanks for posting it on repeat
First heard this as a lad aged 14. Still my all time favourite piece of music. Totally agree with with previous comments. I t takes you places and calms the soul. It will take me to my final testing place as I am laid to rest. The last thing I want to hear in this life anyway. Peace to all.

Never too late my friend...never too late.
We were the Lucky ones.
This was influenced by Chuck Berry's Deep Feeling ruclips.net/video/RAAT9UfI0rw/видео.htmlsi=hvIitae3DaJ-diKB
Surprised being that age you misssed it first time round , it was in the charts long enough
It's also the vibration / frequency of the music produced in the 60s, 70s, 80s - I grew up listening to this type of music - before the frequency of music was hijacked and corrupted - by greed and nefarious intentions.
One of the finest pieces of music. Perfect for just laying down on a sunny beach. Brilliant 👏
Iv told my family this tune is when I leave this earth play it loud 😊
My thoughts as well .
Close my eyes and TRY to forget my daily grind, my overwhelming responsibilities, my inner demons and my lifes choices........Im sailing in the South Pacific on a majestic catamaran with a calm sea and beautiful sunset. Thats where this masterpiece takes me, if only for a moment.

Ño words needed
Be kind to yourself
Music genius known as Peter Green! I first heard this beautiful instrumental when I was 13 years old in 1969, still listen to it now in 2023. His music will live on forever. ♥ RIP
Fabulous!
Beautiful song. Inspired by the king of rock and roll, Chuck Berry's - Deep Feelings.
I was 11, myself and my 2 brothers got it for Christmas with a dansette record player.
I first heard this in 1970 when I was 18. It has stood the test of time better than many pieces from that time.
Played this at my husband's funeral showing photos of our life together still cry lisning to it
I hope this makes you cry tears of joy remembering good times! I think this is a great song for happy remembrance ❤
Hello there is nothing wrong with showing those emotions, and I believe it further enhances the love you have for your husband .families are eternal you will see him again. i suffered the loss of my beautiful wife Helen, 18 months ago miss her everyday but I know one we will be. Reunited one day, wishing you well always as you go through this mortal. Journey sending love to you❤❤.
Many people who love the music care about you and your loss. You are never really alone.
At 73 this was the best and first single that I ever purchased, thanks Peter for the fantastic memory and this beautiful music.
I'm 70 years old ,been listening to this " MASTERPIECE " from the very beginning & NEVER EVER TIER of it. Over& over & ............💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🌴🌺
I am 78 and adore this track
They never leave us. We're so blessed to have live in this time
We lived through those times and we're still here, what a ride it's been. PEACE TO YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. 🙏✌️😎🏴
Me too🇮🇹
Yes, one does never tire of this🤩
Will we ever hear this kind of talent ever again in the music industry? Big ask. Glad I'm 58 and not 18✌️☮️🌠🌌👍😁🌍
So am I
67 and still interested. This is what I listened to every morning while my dad died. But music is ever changing and I can't stop listening ❤
most music today is so bad.
55yo. Feel the same ❤
I was listening to the fleet wood mac a long time ago
This is one of my favourite groups ❤❤❤❤
I feel so ashamed, I have loved this song ever since I first heard it in 1968, when I was 8 years old. Later when I started earning money, I tried to buy it. Probably because I thought it was the Moody Blues, I couldn't find it. I have been a Mac fan since the late 70's but my brain never connected the dots. My apologies to Fleetwood Mac and especially to Peter Green RIP.
It captures the essense of a majestic drifting on air currents over the vast and featureless ocean, feeling safety and vastness at the same time.
Love what you wrote !!
If only life could be as beautiful as this piece of music. Music made by angels.❤
it can be beautiful for a few moments with this soundtrack
This wonderful melody brings back memories of growing up in the Cornish fishing village of St Agnes in the early 1970s, then leaving school to join the Merchant Navy and sailing the oceans with nothing but the ocean surrounding us, not another ship in sight with only the seagulls following in our wake.
A young full of life's expectancies 16yr old lad.
Now as a 66yr old living in Thailand Albatross still transports me back in time to those wonderful carefree times.
I used to be a bus driver and when I got stressed out by customers, idiot drivers and awful traffic I'd play this song in my head and it would get me through my shift. RIP Peter. Youre sadly missed. ❤
I was buried to this. Still can 'close' my eyes and think what a masterpiece it is.
😂👏
I'm leaving this world to this beautiful music playing ❤ flying like the Albatross away in the clouds... R.i.p. Peter ❤
So am I. It's going to be my funeral song. Long decided. I'm 70. Great memories.
What i listened to every morning the last month i spent with dad. Love you dad. He died on earth day 11 years ago
And his birthday is Halloween 😊

I was so lucky to see them play this ethereal masterpiece. It opened a door to a new place in music. Then they would follow with Rattlesnake Shake! What a great band! RIP.
Saw them play live at The Warehouse in New Orleans on a double bill with The Grateful Dead the night the Dead got "busted down on Bourbon Street," tripping my ass off. Magical night.
Peter gave us a beautiful gift when he wrote and played Albatross. The music lives in my head and in my heart.
Rest in love Greeny. Fly your albatross to heaven.
And Danny
Such a magical melody. It makes me so mystically moody just like the first time I ever heard it. After travelling all night on foot I crossed an unmarked border into Holland and fell asleep in the woods. In the morning I woke up in a strange new country with a feeling so untethered and strange - yet so fully transcendent...like careening across an ocean on a wind drift. Then I walked into a nearby cafe and I heard this song on the juke box.
Not sure if you know this but this masterpiece was influenced by a Chuck Berry classic called "Deep Feelings," released in 1957. Take a listen sometime.
I remember hearing so many songs on the radio that the announcer would just say “That’s Fleetwood Mac” and no more except to praise the music.
The World needs this kind of healing power today in 2023 as the Planet shifts off its Axis.
Make Love, Not War.
When my sister was terminally ill she requested this song at her funeral. Made most of us weep. When I listen to it now it takes me right back to those surreal days but also remember the happy times we shared
if you are felling low get into a hot bath with a good glass of wine and keep playing this-pure magic
THIS HEADY DELIRIUM TAKES ME BACK IN A TREASURED TIME CAPSULE .. PETER GREENE .. GUITARIST EXTRAORDINAIRE .. A TIME OF THE SWEET INNOCENCE OF BEING HUNGARY AND OH SO NAIVE AT HEART .. ALWAYS MUSIC IS THE FOOD OF LOVE .. B .. XOXO ❤
This is such a beautiful piece of music. Put on your headphones, lie back in the dark, and let your imagination carry you where it will!
ahh pure chill out zen
Experimente ouvi-la numa praia, num dia ensolarado, fica mais linda!
It's been one of my all time favorite songs ever since someone gave me the LP in the 60s. And Fleetwood Mac then became one of my all time favorite groups, to this day...before, during, and after Nicks and Buckingham, including everyone's solo and regrouping performances.
Would there have been a Fleetwood Mac without Peter Green? 😎✌❤🎶
No
NO.
Absolutely not.
We saw the man himself do this one, many years ago and we will never forget one of the best guitarists and song writers ever....
Tripping with Army Buddies in Frankfurt in 70...to this, oh Well.. Rest in Peace old fellas...True friendships ...
My Big Brother was doing the same thing you were in Germany while in the Army in 1972 according to him telling me many years ago. I will be 60 years old next year. He saw many good Concerts over in Europe too !
Reminds me of days at the cafe the Swiss chalet,we played this endlessly
UNDERRATED ERA FOR THE BAND.
The musical equivalent of the best joint you ever had...........just float away to paradise ✌️
Never had a joint but l umderstand just what you mean this music takes you to your special place
Got hooked on this beautiful theme in 1970 still love it and listening in 2022.
me too!!! "albatross" and freddie king's "hideaway" are the greatest instrumentals in rock and roll/blues history. Be Blessed
You will never get a tune like this or beat this absolutely amazing brilliant gorgeous x
I had this album . I always played
The vinyl during early morning hours to slow down after a long colorful party.
The most beautiful song ever createt , Peter Green we miss you 💚💚💚RIP
Still here, winging the airwaves, her name is wisdom, just come back from doing nothing but soaring the thermals over the southern oceans , then flew north and laid an egg on an island here as in the past, extraordinary , this song reminded why you have to remember where you are going even if at times doesn't always make sense

Best piece of music in the world ever
Ouiiiiiiii! Fantastisue

Serenely beautiful
Si je devais retenir un seul titre de Fleetwood Mac, ce serait Albatros !...
My all time favourite piece of music. It sings to my soul.
This is what Peter Green hears in heaven. Hope I will too.
i got married to this, played while she was walking down the isle.
That's beautiful! 😍
@@kathrinsteckling YES

Fleetwood Mac great. But how much greater would they have been with Peter? We'll never know!! Still loving the sounds of the past,
Or Danny?
Still listening 2-4-20 -23 .takes ne back to a better time and a better world. 😊
Once, long ago, 40-50 years ago, in the American US Southwest, hundreds or maybe thousands of miles from the oceans (Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of California/Sea of Cortez), I witnessed an albatross fly over from east to west.
Rest in peace Peter 🙏🎸🎵🔝

@@kramrollin69 Horrible indeed!!!
I used to see Peter in Oxted surrey many years ago .
He was clearly coming back into the world and The Splinter Group was formed during that time.
What a legacy first heard this in 1967 maybe.
Close your eyes and you're flying over the sea... marvelous
I am with you flying over the sea.

Heaven arrays beautiful sound whoever came up with this tune should be knighted forever..takes me back to my childhood days in slow motion with tearful moments. Majestic ❤
Got played a lot in Beijing on EZ FM in the 90s. Beautiful piece!
Es una obra maestra que conpuso Peter Green y tiene 3 guitarras la suya la de Jeremy Spencer y Dany Kiwan am bajo Mac la Vie y como no en la batería Mic Fleewood. Una gozada y tengo el disco de época de fleewood mac que escucho una y otra vez y no me canso gracias por esta música...
I walked onto a beach in cairns and was awash with shade but a few feet away the water was immersed in full sunlight i had thisbplaying through my headphones! It was a surreal experience as i never had been to a beach with those conditions! ❤❤❤❤
Although I lived through the 1960s both here in America (East Coast) and England I had never heard this song until recently (2023). I think I've listened to it around 50 times or so. It takes me back to my high school days and my 2 friends, both dead now. I don't know why given that I'd not heard it back then. It brings great peace to me when listening to it. Only good memories surface. Thank you Fleetwood Mac wherever you are.
I realize the Peter Green wrote this song, but it took the group to bring it to life.
One of the best peices of music
Yeah best instrumental piece of my childhood Peace to you Ruud
Glad I lived through the best era for music, awesome
very clever how the cymbal sounds like the waves of the ocean lapping against the shore.
I will never tire of this instrumental by Fleetwood Mac
I see me in my 90's blasting this out on a Summers day
thanks for posting it on repeat
I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU WE ALL MISS PETER AND YOU BOYS ARE THE BEST
BOYS YOU ARE THE BEST I CAN FEEL MY HEARTBEAT NOW I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU WE ALL MISS PETER
The perfect tune to relax to, helps me sleep when stressed. An all time favourite.
The beat is haunting ❤❤❤❤❤🎵🎶
Love this. My favorite song to play on my E guitar. Close your eyes and sail through the air over the sea
.
This music will do...❤❤
First heard this as a lad aged 14. Still my all time favourite piece of music. Totally agree with with previous comments. I t takes you places and calms the soul. It will take me to my final testing place as I am laid to rest. The last thing I want to hear in this life anyway. Peace to all.
