Danny Kirwan is too often overlooked but he contributed greatly to the sound of the band.
He did all the heavy lifting in this track.
You know, as I have read, that Danny Kirwan was Peter Green's guitar student at about the age of 16, that he brought into his band ...
Danny Kirwan, hugely underrated imo. Love the old, original Fleetwood Mac!
I'm with you Mary. But virtuosity for both these greats was fleeting. Thankful for the recorded legacy.
@@richardmindemann6935 Yes, absolutely.
This is THE PROPER Fleetwood Mac, latter line ups dont come anywhere near to the musicians here, and any band with Peter Green in it takes some beating. Pure genius ☘
Lindsay Buckingham is also an incedible guitarist.
@@eeeee190The point is everyone has heard of Lindsey only people with any brains in music know of Danny
I like both versions of FM. Christine M contributed a hell of a lot to the Lindsay/Stevie era.
Totally agree.
TOO RIGHT ❤
Peter Green one of the great ones. May he rest in peace
An absolute bloody masterpiece. What a band they were.
The ever amazing Fleetwood Mac in their early days....how brilliant! Peter Greens presence in the band was astonishing....what a guitarist! Sensational Fil! 😀👌🤘
I saw Fleetwood Mac a couple of times with Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, and Jeremy Spencer. Truly a great line up, and I loved this version. I saw them later, when Bob Welch was playing with them. It was a great concert and I very much enjoyed it. Welch is a very good guitarist and I like his playing. Back in the early 2000s, I tickets for my brother and I to see Peter Green and his then current band, at the House of Blues. It had been many years, since I had last seen Peter Green and it was like seeing an old friend. I very much enjoyed that concert. I'm a long time fan of Peter green, always loved his playing and feel he is one of the all time best guitarists. I miss him.
Three of my favorite bands.
Thanks for the analysis. I love this performance. During this period right before he goes off the rails, Peter exudes an irresistible psychedelic Jesus charisma. When he laughs here, it's so engaging; you can tell he's genuinely having a lot of fun.
R.I.P Peter Green another guitar legend has left us,
Rip Peter Green died july 25th
Legend
"...and the crowd goes mild" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Probably shocked and stunned.
@@mrgordons The girls in the audience look like Beach Boys fans.
@@KayEl58 Let's hope they've recovered since then. They did definately not see that coming.
@@KayEl58 I was thinking they were expecting 1966 rock n roll and then heard this. The girls were probably thinking, "I can't dance to this!"
Definitely a thunderous round of indifference.
Fil has that "let me in that band!" smile on his face. Thanks for this analysis.
Oh damn. just 5 days after I posted a comment here the great Peter Green dies. I am truly devastated, he was a guitarists guitarist... RIP Peter, your legacy will live on forever.
Back when Fleetwood Mac was funny, edgier and hard driving rock pre Stevie. Love your guitar licks demonstration!
Thanks!

I remember seeing them in -69 in Sweden. It still is one of my best concert memories. Danny Kirwan is much underrated and there is no one like Peter
Also saw them in 69 at the Greens Playhouse in Glasgow later became the Apollo.
Never forget that concert,and later meeting the band in Glasgow's Buchanan St as they booked into The Ivanhoe Hotel,long gone for thirty years. I was fifteen years old and learning guitar.
There is no one like Peter - Perfecrly said.❤
@@stairwaytoheaven413, Peter Green is the greatest guitarist ever, and don't worry about that thumbs down. I hit it on accident.
@@philiprufus4427, I think Peter laughs because it fits the mood of God being like him. People look down on others and God is the ultimate looking down on others person.
They were in their absolute prime at that time. The interplay between Peter and Danny is so good, and they complemented each other perfectly. It's a shame that lineup didn't last longer, they were only together about a year and a half once Danny joined and before Peter left, but what a legacy they left behind. The amount of great music out there from that short period is amazing. Not sure if you've ever heard Live At The Boston Tea Party, it was recorded in early 70 not too long before Peter left. 'Jumping At Shadows' from that is one of my all time favorite blues songs. The dynamics and the feel in it are sooo good. It's not anything complicated, but Peter's leads and fills (and Danny's rhythm) are just perfect. If you haven't heard it you have to give it a listen. And 'Black Magic Woman' from that is amazing, too.
Great analysis Fil, I like that idea of the riff being like a conversation. Peter Green was such a talent, his guitar playing had such "feel". Some of the early live Fleetwood Mac recordings really show his technique and real understanding of the blues.

Your music appreciation classes are my go-to videos. While this was technical, I am starting to understand your language. Don't ever apologize that your videos go on too long or you make them too technical, that's why we watch you.
PS you should have time stamped your "And the Crowd goes MILD" comment. ROFLMAO.
I'm not sure about the Danny Kirwan story. They were familiar with Danny's playing and I believed his group opened for FM. "We'd seen him play and thought he was very good, both Peter and I." Jeremy Spencer
Yeah, "Oh Well" is a great song to use in the excellent presentation of an iconic Fleetwood Mac Song. I loved the musical sensibility of these guys, who obviously loved to play together.
I’m a huge Fleetwood Mac fan from the very beginning all the way through to now! I love that you did this video! Peter and Danny were both absolutely amazing guitar players. Thanks again!
1969 , age 18, enjoying Fleetwood Mac playing Oh Well. 2020 , age 69 , still enjoying Fleetwood Mac playing Oh Well
I was a fan of early Fleetwood Mac...this is EARLY early Fleetwood Mac. Good stuff.
Me too
Peter Green and Danny Kirwan...the best.
@@jimmycampbell78 the only reason this American middle-aged man even picked up a guitar in the first place at 12 yrs.old.. Thanks Peter thanks Danny.
Nope! Early is early!
Early is 67-68! This is clearly the second period of Fleetwood Mac…
Danny Kirwan and Peter Green complement each other so well that I cannot distinguish who is who anymore.
"Then Play On" is one of the first albums I bought and I still have it 50 years later. And it's the best Fleetwood Mac. Before I knew the names of the band members, I had known the name Peter Green and I assumed it was him playing those lead solos. It wasn't till much later (RUclips) that I realized it was Danny I was hearing mostly. Peter had the voice and the writing, and was a great guitarist, but those two together were amazing. Peter's story is a sad one. But I love him. His Splinter Group has some great songs. I forget the guy who plays most of the guitar on those songs. I love Peter Green and this incarnation of the band. How they got the name is a cool story in itself. Or selflessness of Peter. A Man of the World.
Completely agree with you. This is the best lineup of Fleetwood Mac and that is their best album.
I would argue that Pious Bird Of Good Omen is right up there too :) Got it in early 70s and still one of my favourite albums
@@johnvender I never heard of that album, but it is a compilation album right? I just checked it out and it has some really good songs. Including one that is on "Then Play on". Most of the songs I have are mp3. Gathered over the years. Need your love so bad is great. Most I have were bootlegs from "sessions" or live recordings. I have almost everything I think. But only On mp3. Peter's singing is awesome, no matter who was playing guitar. You won't get argument from me, unless you tell me the later incarnation of band was better. I can't listen to any of it...lol.
I "discovered" FM in the Kirwan/Welch years. The Welch/Weston/Kirwan years will always be my favorite. That being said, I did buy Then Play On soon after, (and even had an early copy with the liner notes that didn't include "Oh, Well" even thought the record did), and loved that version too. Heck, I even loved some of the Lindsey years. Fleetwood Mac are 3 of my favorite bands;)
@@avlisk I need to be schooled...lol.. I lived in the mountains off grid for half of the 70's. Before that I lived in th e sticks with no radio. In 69/70 Can't remember which year, I had a record player and that is when I bought "Then Play On. I am sure it was because a friend had it, becase again we had no FM radio here. I had about tem albums, Hendrix, Steppenwolf, Grand Funk..etc. I went to Hawaii in 1970 and saw Jimi, Steve Miller, and a few other bands. Came back to teh mainland, left my albums with a friend and moved to the mountains. On and off thru the early and late 70's I would get to listen to one FM station when I visited friend in Albuquerque. Long story short, I do not know the history of Fleetwood mac. I have no jacketed albums except that one to read, SO I don't know who all played in that band, after or even during Peter Green's tenure. And none of the music I have on mp3's tells me who is playing..lol. I have never heard of Weston. I am sure I could wiki it up but... I am old now and forgetful. Not sure I would learn much from wiki. RUclips has been my go to for the last20 years. And now music is disappearing from YT. I know about Peters trials and accidental overdoses by watching documentaries about him. The rest of the band, even Kerwin, or Welch, I don't know where they played or with who. Am I wrong to assume the he Welch/Weston/Kirwan years were after Peter fell off the world? I guess I could go to wiki and see what I can find. I also wish I could find a good documentary on the evolution of the band. ALso I cannot type so please excuse the typo's I missed..lol
I find myself in the happy situation of liking both incarnations of Fleetwood Mac - totally different bands, but both great at what they do. That was a most enjoyable and instructive analysis/lesson. Thank you, Fil!
I saw them at the Fillmore West in 1969. Five grungy guys who played better than anyone. I think in 1969 they outsold the Beatles and Stones in record sales. Jeremy Spencer wore a gold blazer and played Viva Las Vegas. Hysterical. He was quite the showman. The Yardbirds get mentioned for having such great guitarists but these guys had three of the best.
I saw them at the Shrine in Hollywood, along with Zappa's Ruben and the Jets.
I was at the same Fillmore West gigs to see Peter, but got a good appreciation for Jeremy and his slide playing
Excellent analyses Phil. I always felt that Danny possessed an exceptional vibrato technique which is rare with guitarists today. So sad and ironic that we lost one of the greatest ambassadors of British white blues today. Thank you Peter. R .I.P.
Peter? What about Danny who died alone and penniless becoming an alcoholic partly because his ‘band mates’ didn’t bother to care or indeed help, no danny was in my opinion on par with Pete who also was badly treated after the incident involving the two drug peddlers at they infamous ‘party’ !…
Great choice! Loved Peter Green. Loads of talent and these guys were so young then, paving the way! As my daughter says, I may be old but I've seen all the good concerts!
The REAL Fleetwood Mac.
Peter Greene should rank in the top guitarist of all time. No one had that tone.
YES!
he already is my friend
Green's vocals are also quite good.
I actually prefer danny Kirwen. I know he got a lot from peter but Danny's tone is amazing
Peter Green⚘❤⚘
And that is one of the most amazing songs in rock. Greene and Kirwin. Wowsers!!!
My first album was Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits (original lineup) and I’ve loved Peter Green ever since. It’s only in relatively recent times I’ve come to understand how important Danny was and what great guitarist, singer & songwriter he was. Great analysis.
Fabulous break down of the whole song- Been listening to this song the last 50 years
peter green and danny kirwin are VASTLY underrated !!!!!!!!!!
In the USofA only.
they're not "underrated " as far as I know...
How many people have heard of Peter Green compared to the number of people who have heard of Hendrix, Clapton, & Page? Well, even fewer have heard of Danny Kirwan.
Underappreciated would be my descriptor.
@@JAP42 NOT,If your a Brit and were around at the time !
I love when you demonstrate with your 🎸 guitars! Great job analyzing the music video and guitarist. 🙌🎸🎤
That was some great analysis and storytelling. Imagine seeing this live in 1969. It must have blown people's minds
So much to say!
I’ve been listening to Peter all Covid Quarantine! I haven’t listened to him in a while and I loved getting reacquainted! So I was so excited to see you analyzing this song!!! Thanks to whoever suggested.
Peter’s playing and vocals emotes so much emotion, such a joy to listen to! This line up, all five amazing, was just incredible and like so many, sad it ended so abruptly.
Danny getting into Fleetwood Mac is a little reminiscent of Peter getting into Blues Breakers.
And lastly, I SWEAR I was going to ask you tomorrow night about Greeny, the Les Paul. They talk about a factory error on the pick ups that gave it the “ out of phase” sound for him... “what does out of phase mean?” ... what timing🤘🤘
Thank you FIL!!!!
The Madge Sessions #1
Is my favorite jam by these guys or by anyone for that matter!
Out of phase means simply "out of tune" though it was not, but just gave different sound then other guitars of same make. It was not an error from the factory, PeGe said that he was fiddling him self with the pickup & when about to put it back rewired it in "wrong" (oposite) way.. & today should be Pete's birthday... Blessings 🙏🕊️🌟✨
@Helen Gren Some electric guitars 🎸 are "manufactured" new with "phase" switches, to "reverse" the "phase"ing of the pickups, polarity, magnetics, and alter the sound!
@@helengren9349 "In-phase", or "Out-of-phase"! Blessings ✨️ 🙏 🕊🪽🪶😇🙈🙉🙊😇💔❤️🩹❤️🔥💞
@@jayblumetti9590 Yes, I know... 👍
@@jayblumetti9590 Yes, but probably not in case with Pete's guitar...? 🤔
P. Green has been one of biggest musical heroes for as long as I can remember. This is Fleetwood Mac!
Even with intensive rehearsal, a few funny moments will occur.
Danny Kirwan was an Amazing songwriter and guitarist.
Sooo good! Loved your guitar demo too, Fil. I was lucky to be gifted a ticket for my 18th birthday to see Fleetwood Mac in concert in November 1977 - their massive Rumours tour with Lindsay Buckingham, Stevie Nicks & Christine McVie in the line-up.
That was a pale shadow of the _real_ FM. When Suckingham/Knickers joined it all went to hell.
Peter Green was a musical genius and one of the greatest guitarists of his time.
Off ALL time.
An excellent analysis, as always, EXCEPT that I was hoping to hear the whole thing (Parts One and Two), and anticipating Fil's comments on how different the biz was in those days: more experimental, and more open to different ideas. If you've never heard Oh, Well, Part Two, do yourself a favor and check it out. Prepare to be completely surprised and (perhaps) immensely gratified. I hope Fil comments on it at some point.
Mid 1980's and I was living in a hut in the middle of nowhere, working in a dairy. My new room mate turned up with a cassette of Peter Greene. We played it to death and when it died I spent a couple of hours unravelling it. It continued to function for quite some time but needed emergency CPR (cassette palliate ressusitation) from time to time. Now I have it on disc.
Remember how young Danny was here and Peter saw him as his protege and possible successor. Danny was a guitarist of the finest quality and a beautiful soul with it.
Yes!!!! My favorite Fleetwood Mac bar none !
Sometime in the late 60's? I had this red album called Fleetwood Mac
There was no Lindsey.
There was no Stevie.
And it was awesome. I played the groves off of it.
The rest is history.
Stevie Nick's and Lindsey. Buckingham had their own album called Buckingham Nick's and if you ever heard it you would differently no that fleetwood mac changed into Buckingham Nick's ,sure they were a successful group but they were no longer the fleetwood mac we grew up with and enjoyed the Fleetwood mac the blues group.
They would have fit in perfectly at Woodstock 1969
Afternoon Fil. Great analysis. I wander how many younger people you will influence. Fil I think you are remarkable in so many catagories not to mention the fact that you work so hard every day.👏 You are well -just wonderful Fil. Have a good, restful, happy, healthy kind of day, love ya. I spiked the likes also on the Live stream for tonight & I hope to make it.❤
I bought my first LP in 1967 after watching Fleetwood Mac on TV, they have allways been my favourite band, I never get tired to listen to these old songs. They still rock
I have to say for me Peter Green remains one of the finest bluesman to come out of our country….he was one of the greatest exponents of making you listen to the notes he didn’t play as well as the ones he did.
Best of the best ❤
Thanx so much for anylising Oh Well. It's been a favourite of mine since I was a kid. That's when Fleetwood Mac was a rock band!! Sure wish we had some close ups during your demos!! Also, the long version of this is magnificent!!😎
Oh wow! 'Oh, Well'!! ..........I never understood the personnel evolution of Fleetwood Mac, very cool to see the early famously awesome line-up! Loved the analysis and especially the demo...you make it so easy to follow.
You know there are many horror stories..good or bad..behind the scenes type stuff with their most famous lineup..Buckingham..Stevie etc...and Hi Lynn
Jeremy Spencer (the guy playing maracas) joined a horrible religious cult The Children of God, Peter Green may or may not have been kidnapped and dosed with too much acid, abandoned Judaism and became a messianic Christian/lunatic and sometime grave digger, and Danny Kirwin had a brief solo career before becoming a homeless alcoholic before his death.
@@mevrammcoyoteV8f150 Hi Mark! I only remember there were romance stories behind the 'Rumors' album, but Seed_drill in the reply above fills in some of the horror story facts...yikes!
@@seed_drill7135 Whoa! Those are a lot of grim developments for one band! I'm sad to hear them, but grateful for the help understanding. Thank you.
Peter Green and Danny Kirwan had such a unique alchemy.
They did. Danny was such a great guitarist but I think where he really excelled was in his lyrical compositions. The Kiln House album displays his greatness as well as it can be done. Cheers !!
Yes. Totally agree. Both guys’ stories are tragic.
"Albatross," "Black Magic Woman," "Rattlesnake Shake," "Green Manalishi," "Man of The World," so many great songs.
If you like the Peter Green Fleetwood Mac, check out "Boston." All three nights of a stand in 1970 a few weeks before Peter Green left the band. Just wow.
Fil. We will always wonder how things would have gone had it not been for that infamous LSD fiasco in Germany that that took Peter from us plus Danny's substance problems . It would have have been glorious to have had them never have gone to that party . What a shame . As always your review was spot on. We miss them both as does the whole world of guitar players.
Wow, you really picked that one right in time. R.I.P. Peter Green. Nice breakdown Fil.
RIP Peter Green. What a talent
I always used to hear this song on the radio and could never find who it was by. Needless to say my jaw hit the ground when I found out that it was Fleetwood Mac. Definitely NOT Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow.
Can’t see Bill Clinton (or any other presidential candidate) taking the stage to this song
They definitely did NOT get better with age. When I was in high school they were a deep cut FM band and Thinking bout tomorrow was a distant nightmare in the future.
1967...Fleetwood Mac....when they were Fleetwood Mac....their sound was the best until mid 70's....Chris McVie was always a better vocalist than SN.....I grew up in a phenomenal musical era!!!
Well now you are digging back into the gems of my youth. Peter Green - hero.
Brilliant analysis! And the little background history you always add make your vids a joy to listen to. Thanks Fil!
What timing. RIP to the legendary Peter Green. Gotta love his wild bends on Albatross as well.
Fil is a gifted teacher.
Thanks!
Thanks again for the analysis and tutorial. This is still, to me, the definitive Fleetwood Mac. The way Danny and Peter played off one another is a joy to hear. "Like It This Way" from The Boston Tea Party and other live performances features more of their guitar telepathy.
The great Peter Green - Fleetwood Mac was never the same without him, despite their commercial success.
Fleetwood Mac played our blues club in 1967. The line up was Fleetwood, McVie, Green and Spencer. We knew very little about them other than some of them had been with John Mayall. But we were surprised to see Jeremy Spencer as he had played the club a few months before with an earlier band(The Blues Dusters I think it was). I was the bass player in the resident band so I immediately struck up a conversation with John McVie. I asked him how things were going with the new band and he said it was a bit tough financially but he hoped the new album, which they had just recorded but not yet released "would do OK" I think it did a bit more than "OK!" He later let me use his amp at the end of the night when we all got back on stage and had an almighty jam.
They are one of the few bands that started with strong underground following back in the 60s and transitioned into a very successful commercial band later. They always had fantastic guitarists. Thanks for sharing a video of the late Peter Green.
Spencer Kirwan and Green were all fantastic guitarist. All laying the foundation for the Fleetwood Mac lore.
Everyone has a favorite Fleetwood Mac Band era/lineup. M. Fleetwood managed to give life to some great creative souls over the years. I like the original lineup right to the present lineup. But my personal favorite album (because I like two guitarists accompanying each other) is Kiln House. My Favorite song is Station Man written by Kirwan and Spencer. But the whole album has great influence that capture some diverse styles and
genres of rock. Some real dreamy songs along with a couple butt rockers.
Station Man is also my favorite . . . followed by Spencer's brilliant send up of country music with "Blood on the Floor." Well, goodbye world . . .
A pal of mine was social sec at Manchester Art College, a very small venue. He booked Fleetwood Mac, Tyrannosaurus Rex (just Marc Bolan and the other guy back then), and Duster Bennett. He put the show on for 7/6d. That was 1968, just before ‘Albatross’ came out. A great night.
Agreed. My 1st exposure to Fleetwood Mac as a kid was this song, studio version. Both Green & Kirwan deserve more credit, but Spencer played some cool slide on other songs too. I also liked the Bob Welch era. Buckingham/Nicks? Yeah best-selling pop rock, but I like the early versions of the band even better.
I loved learning some of the history of this lineup Fil. So interesting! And now I understand why Peter was laughing. lol
Thank you so much for your analysis and your master class. And all the respects you have for Peter and Danny s work, I am a real fan of FM and Humble Pie as well big hug from Chile
I first heard Fleetwood Mac's original greatest hits on cassette around 1989 and it fundamentally changed my mind on a lot of things. In amongst the soap opera there is astounding talent and, of course, Peter Green; a man who even invited a tribute from B.B. King.
This is only the first movement. Love the studio recording where it goes into beautiful nylon string/flute part.
You’ve taken your analysis videos to the next level with the demonstrations of technique. Great stuff, thank you. 🤘
I saw this video a long time ago and was so fascinated that I forgot to upthumb it. Thi mornigng I saw the thumbnail for the Haim sister's awesome version of this, then the thumbnail for the Peter Green version; then this popped up on autocue. An "Oh Well" treat that made my day.
I think it's possible that Fil doesn't know how good he really is.
RIP Peter Green, so sad we've lost another great musician from the 60's. A very influential British guitarist (ask Santana) who was never intimated by other great guitarists of that time, Jimi Hendrix above all others. I was privileged to see Peter in concert in Manchester back in the late 90's with his Splinter Group.
Fil, yours is one of the few opinions on this classic worth reading.
I took the entire song to my guitar teacher to learn- still know it note-for-note via muscle memory.
With all due respect & loyalty to my teacher, who's a friend, I almost wish you'd been my teacher.
Oh geeze I'm having flashbacks, My sisters boyfriend at the time (now my brother in law) took me to see this line up in early 69 when I was 14, and I fell in love with their sound, and Peter Greens playing... Thank you so much for this reaction, you've made a old man very happy today.
It's lovely to see Phil hardly able to contain his enthusiasm, but trying nonetheless and largely succeeding in being coherent.
As long as their are people on this earth, this riff will be played! It is so amazingly iconic! And Phil, can't believe you waited 4 mins before picking up your guitar!
😂
I remember a interview with Mick Fleetwood being asked yes or no questions, one question was, Beatles or Stones and he said Stones, there were many other questions he answered but then the big one, Peter or Lindsay and he said “ Both” he also said he enjoyed this version of Mac as he had more freedom with the drum lines!
A classic high energy song from one of my favorite bands. Danny Kirwan was always underrated and Peter got most of the good press, but if you want to hear something deceptively easy and seemingly light, listen to Danny playing " Jigsaw Puzzle Blues". By the way, acoustic guitarist Leo Kottke recorded a version of Oh Well.
Dam it’s been forever since I heard this song and the first time I heard this version. Fantastic!
'He was the only guitarist who ever gave me the cold sweats, he had the sweetest tone' -' BB King. RIP Peter Green.
Not sure if he ever said that. I can’t find the source anywhere
I used to own all the Fleetwood Mac albums, but Then Play On was always my favourite. It was quite the departure from their blues oriented material of the time.
Did they give everyone in the audience a Valium when they came in to the studio? I don't think I've ever heard this song before. Sweet mother of pearl, this puts the Fleetwood Mac that I grew up with to shame. I'm off to discover more of the music this line up produced. Thanks, Fil. You rocked that guitar tutorial.
Donna Colwell, Ha! Enjoy the REAL "Mac".
@@TheLisab56 This is honestly a revelation. I didn't know what I had been missing.
Thanks!
@@donnacolwell3988 , Most people still don't know anything about the earlier history of Fleetwood Mac. They were a blues band, added Christine McVie, then Bob Welch, and became a somewhat psychedelic band, and became a pop band with the addition of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. I like them best as a blues band, but Mystery to Me, and Bare Trees, are great albums in my opinion. [ edit, I should add that Christine McVie's maiden name was Christine Perfect, I kid you not, until she married John McVie !).
@@goodun2974 Yep, they came directly from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, and there were several other British greats who cut their teeth with John.
If I had heard this version before, I've forgotten all about it. I went back and replayed it with Lindsey Buckingham singing and I like Peter Green's vocals better.
No shit bub...
Where do we find music of this quality today? What on earth went wrong???
Mostly computers.
Thank God for RUclips!! 😍
I have asked myselt that question too many times.
If i had 1 thing to blame.
Not having to actually play through the whole song went wrong.
Aka..digital recording
Nirvana turned depression into a fashion statement and killed the power and the beauty....this kind of music died there and then. We lost "soul" music after 2LIveCrew. With a few exceptions, this type of performance remains dead. [current music execs have chosen easy to sell crap ever since]
Loved it all: the original performance, the analysis, and the demonstration. Great stuff!
Thanks!
WHAT A TREAT THAT WAS. THANKS.
It always amazed me that a guitar God like Peter Green would more often than not take a back seat and allow Danny Kirwin to play the lead guitar on so many songs, and be quite happy to do so. Very humble, with no ego.
Yet he got all the credit for Danny’s playing.
No he didn't.
PG named the band for his rhythm section -- It's only become known as "PG's FM" since Fuckingham/Knickers polluted it-
I have ALWAYS loved Fleet Wood Mac, especially with Stevie Nicks, saw and met them while on Tour with Jimi Hendrix, A Fabulous Live Band, For Sure! And a fabulous demo of guitar chords, bends, and shapes, from one my favorite musicians, and guitarists!! BRAVO!!
SN ruined the world's greatest blues band.
When I first heard Bare Trees and Future games ( I'd stack them both on the turn table) Danny Kirwan's guitar, vocals, and song writing is what stood out.
Absolutely love their early album "KILN HOUSE." So many great songs. "Jewel-eyed Judy," "Mission Bell," "Blood on the Floor," more! Still have the vinyl!
I liked the explanation for Peter Green's laughter...and in a completely unselfconscious way it reinforces the sentiment of the song!
True Fleetwood Mac original. Thanks for analysis Fil. 👍
I'm gutted Peter left us today. He was one of the finest blues and rock guitarists around, and one of a handful of musicians I felt I still had to see in this lifetime. He left us so many great pieces of music. For me, his solo in ' I've got a good mind to give up livin' ' is his showpiece; a basic minor blues, nothing unexpected, but so much emotion, and THAT tone. Rip Mr Greenbaum.
RIP Peter Green. I got into Fleetwood Mac right at the beginning. I was a big Mayall fan, so it was just a natural progression.
Ever many Thanks for this shout out about Greenie! Love your (always) superb attention to the deep detail of the music. Thank goodness you are a guitarist that can and does understand what Perter Green was up to. And shared it here. I'm thinking you've seen Dave Simpson's videos on PG .. . . you and Dave have 'together' created a gold mine of information about Peter Green. Of which I for one will never tire. incidental that I've been listening to PG for 55 years now, and counting! Thanks again!!
👍🎸🎻I love Fleetwood Mac and especially later when the legendary Ms. Stevie Nick's was in the mix, great songs and times indeed. Great analysis always. Thank you Fil, have a good evening, its10:45pm NY Time. (Raini, it me Fil,just change things)
Cheers.....( like it when you say Fil that the crowd goes mild, I was laughing too)
Hi Fil! For me it was fun to see the way they dressed! It was pure 60’s! It is just fun to see how my generation ushered in new sounds, and new ways of looking! I was not a huge Fleetwood Mac fan, but they were really quite good now looking back! Funny how you see things differently as you get older! Thanks for showing us this one! ✌️
