Peter Green lifted Fleetwood Mac to a whole new level which they never achieved again. He brought a rare visceral raw spiritual honesty to the band and we should be all feel blessed that he graced the rock n roll world with his stellar talent.
Absolutely! 🙌 I personally think he was the BEST blues guitarist Britain ever produced (yes, I think Peter was a better blues guitarist than Eric Clapton).
BB King said Peter Green was the only one who gave him the cold chills, and that's good enough for me. I'm old enough to remember Fleetwood Mac playing Albatross on Top of the Pops.
@@jeremybennoch4338 No, Peter was not a member of The Yardbirds. The only band that both Eric Clapton and Peter Green played in (at different times though) was John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Eric Clapton joined the Bluesbreakers after he quit The Yardbirds, and when Clapton quit the Bluesbreakers, Peter was his replacement. The iconic Yardbirds guitarist trio was Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page-Peter Green was NEVER in The Yardbirds, nor did he ever play on any of their songs.
I wish Peter had never gone to Munich and took that L.S.D. it spoiled a great, great , enormous talented genius who knows what he could have achieved in his career what a tragedy it was for him and all of us fans. R.I.P. THE GREAT PETER GREEN.

In the space of a couple of years, you got Black Magic Woman, Albatross, Man of the World, Need your love so bad, Oh well 1 and 2 and this. All timeless brilliance, Peter and Danny RIP to both
Peter Green has passed. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. The first time I heard this it was the Judas Priest cover and I thought it was great. Then I heard Peter Green playing it and the song took on a whole new life. I really love this song and am grateful Peter Green wrote something so ethereal for us to enjoy.
Peter Green will always be my number one source of musical inspiration. What a talent, and what a gift to us. Rest in peace, dear Peter. And thank you.
I'm the exact same. Was my all time favorite Priest song as a teen. Then I head the Fleetwood Mac version, and you know, I thought it was totally different, but equally great!
The raw feel and emotion that Peter Green put into it cannot be duplicated by anyone. This song was crushingly heavy by 60's standards and is still much heavier than the Judas Priest cover. I love Priest's version of this song and they can usually elevate any song they cover to make it better but they failed to do that in this instance. Peter Green cannot be replaced or topped.
"Greatest Song" is such an individual perspective thing. . .a good friend swore that Robin Trowers' "Bridge of Sighs" was it. Both songs are totally "one of the greatest," but I think that we can agree the Lipps Inc. interpretation of "Funky Town: is the gold standard in song. . . at least between the middle ages through current times. Tongue-in-cheek, but it IS my guilty plerasure ;)
if we're talking guilty pleasures i'll see your funky town and raise you a love shack by the b52s 😁 if we're talking purely pop then abba and stevie wonder both wrote objectively perfect examples of such - according to my old man and i make him right in all seriousness though i would probably throw something like beethoven's sonata 8 pathetique or appassionata in there and on another day id just say pretty much any one of fifty beatles songs could take the cake for me; help, a hard day's night, a day in the life, hey jude, etc etc
@@jackssmirkingrevenge9365 Regarding the B-52's. . . to me the most absurd-yet-irresistible tune they ever composed (as well as the performance) was "Planet Claire." Not a hit, but man oh man. . . check it out if you haven't. Regarding serious rock, I'm one of those Stones guys (in particular Beggers' Banquet through to Exile. . . my fave deep cut: Factory Girl). The "law of diminished returns" regarding the Beatles catalogue set in about 10 yrs. ago (though that's saying something!) Early Beatles: "I'll Cry Instead," later Beatles: "I got a feeling." Thanx for responding ;) Speaking of "I got a feeling," I got a feeling that we're a couple of dinosaurs. . . I pretty much gradually lost interest in the current stuff after grunge (mid-90's)
thanks, youre right planet claire is funky as hell! and being as we're in an unabashed b52s trip, i reckon this is my favourite song of all; ruclips.net/video/Hl_EEpRfrkk/видео.html and i know what you mean regarding diminishing returns. i think the beatles suffer greatly from their mastery being overplayed and thus losing some of the magic they undeniably had. hence why i stick to the lesser played gems when out and about getting my groove on - the night before, things we said today, rain, polythene pam, dear prudence, yer blues, you cant do that, hey bulldog etc but i still break out the big daddy hits every once in a while actually im 'only' 34, lol. so dont feel too disheartened.. good music is still being appreciated by folks my age and younger! in fact some days i stick on my sixties stuff, blue cheer, velvet underground, stones, etc when i want to hear modern music after getting down to my early twentieth century blues all day - robert johnson, leadbelly, son house, blind willie johnson et al 😊 and by your grunge comment i dont know whether or not you like it or that was the final straw for you, lol. but there is some modern music that still rocks. do me a favour if you have the time? plug some good earphones in and check this link out for me, if you havent heard much by these guys youre in for a treat. enjoy 😊 ruclips.net/video/fpG8-P_BpcQ/видео.html and if you like that check out their first album; ruclips.net/p/PL7A6C8DB82556B5DF nice reminiscing with you! take care brother 👍
I don't know about greatest song ever, but greatest guitarist ever is certainly right. Now if only we could clear his head of marijuana, alcohol, and LSD along with the concept of giving up all money and joining a hippie commune there in Sweden where he blacked out and went into complete psychosis just after this performance. Then we could have really found out what a guitar could have been capable of being.
I saw these guys live in 1969, Houston TX. Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwin. The original FW. Awesome blues band!
This is probably the darkest a rock song has ever got ...glad I´m not alone in sensing this. To most people it´s just some notes with some guy made "crazy " (lol ) by having toured with The Grateful Dead and all that circunstancial bs ...
My generation that were teenagers in the late 60's, early 70's with having all these great bands and musicians with the calibre of Peter Green. Boy were we the lucky generation. And no ugly technology or CCTV eirher. It was total freedom 🤗🎸🌃
Hell yeah, Priest performs it very well too. How do you like Diamonds and Rust by them ? Man, getting old I can see that I started to look like a vampire like them. Body becoming garbage but thanks that soul remaining still young listening to these great guys...
Yes, this version is so much better. Despite the fact that Priest is an actual heavy metal band, this version is so much heavier. The Peter Green era is my favorite era of Fleetwood Mac.
Underrated?No way! If BB King writes the foreword in your biography, you are on Mt Olympus, in the Pantheon, up there with all the Becks,Breaus,Pass,Hendrix, etc…..
Three minutes in and Green gives a master class,his tone brings tears,so much soul.For me he was and still is the greatest British blues player EVER...forget Clapton(although i love his stuff) Peter is the man.
BB King once said, of all the White Blues players, P. Green was the only one that gave him "cold sweats..." Clapton was great, but no-one had such soulful intensity as P.Green. . . and not a single wasted note.
Unfortunately they both went the same way. Tanked in the early seventies because of drugs. Neither of them were ever the same. Danny and Jeremy too actually. It happened to many. Kossoff. More and more names come to me. Don't do drugs.
@@zeuhltube "Child of Mine" off BareTrees and "Jewel Eyed Judy" off Kiln House. "Station Man" too. They way they put pretty melodies together with powerful guitar was unique, there never was anything else quite like it. And it ages rather well.

Three brilliant British blues-rock guitarists unselfishly and seamlessly sharing lead and vocals - no prima donna egos - even from the generous incomparable Peter Green
Love ❤️ Peter Greens voice and guitar 🎸 playing it’s everything! I’m 71 and been listening/ playing this all my life and never tire of it. It still Rocks !!
I'm nearly 70, and remember the first time it was played on the radio in my parents home. You'd have thought the devil had made a personal appearance at Sunday dinner. I loved it, but was a solo thing.
What I remember from this era is that Fleetwood Mac was Peter Green(the soul), Mick Fleetwood and John McVie(the rhythm) accompanied by Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan on guitars. They were and still are a great band.
@@richardjohnson7379He said he's “the only living guitarist to make me sweat" and that he had "the sweetest tone I've ever heard.” That's a compliment of his playing.
Better management . Great music in United States. But they were being used by the music industry. Bands played record companies got rich, musicians got checks.. in UK. Bands got famous. Played, made records, got rich. Record companies got checks. All management
This is an absolutely stunning song - full of atmosphere and passion, and brilliant playing. The later FM weren’t a patch on this lineup - without Peter Green, how could they be?
I wouldn’t say that . Just a different version with Christine M , Stevie. And Lindsay but still they did some pioneering of their own between the pop hits . Think Tusk with USC Trojan band
He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen or heard. I wish I could go back in time and stop him going to that house in Munich. We lost the most talented musician the world has ever seen.
Siân Ishmael the munich party didn’t wreck him. he was just mentally ill. danny kirwan, interestingly, was arguably even worse off than green, and yet there’s not much mention of him.
Steve Davis .... The Munich incident didn’t help him or Kirwan. Mick, Jeremy and John all agreed that whatever they took sent them both deeper into loopyville. That entire story of the Munich entities is trippy, their ties to Beider Meinhoff etc. no matter what, Greeny and Kirwan would have been much better off not frying what little grey matter they had left.
You are looking at a recording less than 10 days after the Munich party. Peter walked away from that party fine. He just exposed the rest of the band, and they were scared.
Sometimes you hear a guitarist play so emotionally and heart-wrenching you feel like they could completely control you if they wanted to. Peter was one of those guys for me
I saw them performing this live at the Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne Switzerland in very early February or March in 1970; to a half empty luxurious hall. The audience had been seated according to the price of our payed entry ticket but upon the realization that most of seats had remained empty because of that fact Peter Green decided to allow the whole crowd to ignore the ‘rules of the house’ and to chooze to sit wherever they wished ; needless to say the whole crowd moved up close to the performing band and in this way communicated their affection and appreciation of the group. Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green gave that night one of the best rendition of “the green Manalishi” ever; I shall never forget!
When I was a teenager back in the 80s I showed interest in learning to play guitar. The first person who gave me advice was a worker in the local youth club. He happened to be a childhood friend of the great man himself and turned us on to his playing saying that you need look no further for feel technique and tone and he was 100% right. Peter was just starting to get help with his personal issues at the time and stan took a couple of us to meet him. Being so young I didn't fully appreciate the significance or opportunity of the meeting and I remember him playing a little bit but he had a thing about cutting his finger nails and that they were so long it hindered his playing but what really did stay with me was his warm and gentle nature a really lovely soul got the feeling that he felt he wasn't worthy of his own talent but of course I could be way off
I guess Peter Green is just another criminally, absurdly, underated guitarist in the Rock and Roll of Fame since 1998. It's more accurate to say he wasn't a household name, just like many other great guitarists who are called " underrated " in the RUclips pantheon of rating experts.
Brilliant song by a brilliant guitar player. This was the beginning of the end for the original and only FM. First Peter, then Jeremy, then Danny all had their issues and left. I believe this was the first group to feature 3 guitarists.
@@heaven-is-real ive read its the green dog "manalishi" that ask him to stop getting fame and giving away all his wealth and instrument. This is all the drug fault, it fucks with his mind big time..
@@uzumaki6759 @hr 777 . A great oversimplification. Indeed, there were and are many for whom psychedelics could trigger (possibly already latent) schizophrenia or other mental instability. This is why various indigenous cultures used them only cautiously and under the guidance of a respected , knowledgeable 'elder'. They were never intended and are ill-suited for mere recreation/ partying. And even less-so for those who may be vulnerable (because of genetics or other factors) to mental instability.
Peter Green will always be my number one source of musical inspiration. What a talent, and what a gift to us. Rest in peace, dear Peter. And, thank you.
I think this is one of the highlights of popular music. The hauting and creepy atmosphere in the FM version is lost in all the cover versions I have heard until now. That is why I think the original is still the best. Danny and Peter really rocked.
Greeny as it best!!! I really love Peter Greens songs- They are so unique, and bringing me down immediatly. Maybe its only the sweet tone thing…. For me its magic….. RIP Peter, I miss you.
Powerful tube amps, raw lyrics and live, one take, no wonder why Peter made so much money, what an artistic performance, never to be duplicated by current acts on prime time tv ever again, at that time you actually had to be talented to get recognized.
Ironically enough, Peter left the band because the rest of the band refused to give away their money like he was doing. This song (The Green Manalishi) is actually about an LSD-induced nightmare Peter had of a green dog with horns that relentlessly barked at him and attacked him. In his nightmare the dog symbolized the evils of money, and from that time forward, Peter wanted NOTHING to do with any money that seemed more than enough for him to survive on. Ofc a lot of his reasoning for doing some of the odd things that he did (he pulled a gun out on a guy who was trying to deliver a royalty check to him in 1977) were due to delusions and auditory hallucinations that were a part of Schizophrenia (which he was diagnosed with). Excess drug use, stress, and random genetic susceptibility will get you that (“that” as in the development of a lifelong psychotic disorder).
I always thought that Danny and Peter were souls of the same kind. Danny was a stellar player, with a vibrato I can only hope for in my best dreams and Peter had this unfathomable sadness in his eyes like he saw something we couldn't and felt it harder than any of us. They didn't belong to this band. They deserved better.
Peter, everytime I hear you play I cry like a baby, this doesn't happen with all the other great players I love. May you rest in peace legend, I love you. Did I told you that the Green Manalishi is my fave song ever? Thank you!!!
The greatest Mac line up doing their greatest song, brilliant. Imagine how great this band would have become if Green, Kirwan and Spencer hadn't been got at.
A rhythm section? You’re sorely mistaken. Listen to the entire video of Fleetwood Mac’s performance of “I’ve Got A Mind To Give Up Living/All Over Again” and tell me that that sounds like a rhythm section! 😂 You’re basing your entire judgement on one performance out of the MANY performances that have been recorded during the Peter Green era of Fleetwood Mac.
Listen to any of their live performances of “Black Magic Woman” (which was written by Peter Green and originally done by Fleetwood Mac, not Santana-although Santana took it and ran with it like a champ! 🙌) during the Peter Green era as well
One of the BEST songs ever recorded although Oh Well is also a great classic..Fantastic guitar playing by Peter and then the lyrics! You can already hear his next step was the asylum for the mentally insane.Yes, it´s sooooo good!!!!!
My favorite Mac song, from any period. With a stunning rhythm that I still don't understand. Even Judas Priest had to simplify it in order to cover it. I'm sure most of you know what it's about.
For sure JP had to simplify...way to progressive and loooooooong (but in a good way) for HM back in '79. JP pretty much just took the first 2 minutes and repeated the sequence.
Can't argue with the late great B.B. King who said about Peter - "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats." - B.B. King.

Peter Green lifted Fleetwood Mac to a whole new level which they never achieved again. He brought a rare visceral raw spiritual honesty to the band and we should be all feel blessed that he graced the rock n roll world with his stellar talent.

One of Britain’s greatest blues rock guitarists ever, criminally underrated. A real genius.

hey man, its got it all,@@jansoldek932
I wouldn’t say that . Just a different version with Christine M , Stevie. And Lindsay but still they did some pioneering of their own between the pop hits . Think Tusk with USC Trojan band
@@dagnabbit6187 they weren’t a patch on the original lineup
Scariest tune ever. Makes me do things I dont want to.
Like tidying your room?
All to do with.. Green Manalishi = Greenbacks - His distaste for money at the time and what money could make you do.
He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen or heard. I wish I could go back in time and stop him going to that house in Munich. We lost the most talented musician the world has ever seen.
Siân Ishmael pg was top 5 but relax he wasn’t Hendrix or Zappa. He was a fvcking beast tho
Siân Ishmael the munich party didn’t wreck him. he was just mentally ill. danny kirwan, interestingly, was arguably even worse off than green, and yet there’s not much mention of him.
Steve Davis .... The Munich incident didn’t help him or Kirwan. Mick, Jeremy and John all agreed that whatever they took sent them both deeper into loopyville. That entire story of the Munich entities is trippy, their ties to Beider Meinhoff etc. no matter what, Greeny and Kirwan would have been much better off not frying what little grey matter they had left.
@@stevedavis8329 Peter was already in trouble wise before Munich. That was just the final push ditto Danny K
You are looking at a recording less than 10 days after the Munich party. Peter walked away from that party fine. He just exposed the rest of the band, and they were scared.
People tend to forget what Jeremy Spencer added to the band he was just as an important member as the rest. The band was a complete unit music wise.
Sometimes you hear a guitarist play so emotionally and heart-wrenching you feel like they could completely control you if they wanted to. Peter was one of those guys for me
I saw them performing this live at the Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne Switzerland in very early February or March in 1970; to a half empty luxurious hall. The audience had been seated according to the price of our payed entry ticket but upon the realization that most of seats had remained empty because of that fact Peter Green decided to allow the whole crowd to ignore the ‘rules of the house’ and to chooze to sit wherever they wished ; needless to say the whole crowd moved up close to the performing band and in this way communicated their affection and appreciation of the group. Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green gave that night one of the best rendition of “the green Manalishi” ever; I shall never forget!
In my opinion it was the best Fleetwood Mac
The best of all versions of 'Fleetwood Mac'
This is one of Mac's greatest ever songs and I'm sad to hear Peter Green has died Yet another great legend gone too soon!
They had 3 incredible lead guitarists
When I was a teenager back in the 80s I showed interest in learning to play guitar. The first person who gave me advice was a worker in the local youth club. He happened to be a childhood friend of the great man himself and turned us on to his playing saying that you need look no further for feel technique and tone and he was 100% right. Peter was just starting to get help with his personal issues at the time and stan took a couple of us to meet him. Being so young I didn't fully appreciate the significance or opportunity of the meeting and I remember him playing a little bit but he had a thing about cutting his finger nails and that they were so long it hindered his playing but what really did stay with me was his warm and gentle nature a really lovely soul got the feeling that he felt he wasn't worthy of his own talent but of course I could be way off
Creep show
RIP PETER GREEN!!! one of the best musicians to walk the earth

This song was symbolic of the magic and mystery around at this time for those in the know.
THIS is Fleetwood Mac.
This guitar solo is one if not the most emotional and greatest guitar solos ever easy
This is rock at it's very best. Peter Green was without doubt a rock superstar!
Brilliant! The later 60's/early 70's were by far the best years for real music there's ever been..
Phaedra Collins fantastic years i was 17 in 1970 lived through a fabulous era...😉
@@Falco45able Yeah..it was great to be young then.
Agree.. I always say this.
Me too M8.
May, 1954 :)
One of the greatest yet darkest songs ever written
This is freakin amazing!!!
RIP Peter Green, devastated.
This song is a dream...
I guess Peter Green is just another criminally, absurdly, underated guitarist in the Rock and Roll of Fame since 1998. It's more accurate to say he wasn't a household name, just like many other great guitarists who are called " underrated " in the RUclips pantheon of rating experts.
Brilliant song by a brilliant guitar player. This was the beginning of the end for the original and only FM. First Peter, then Jeremy, then Danny all had their issues and left. I believe this was the first group to feature 3 guitarists.
Jeremy is still with us! Isn’t he?
Not sure if you meant passed, apologies if you didn’t 👍
Oh for those days when Fleetwood Mac were a proper band great track
R.I.P Peter Green. He deserved so much more credit than given
_the night is so black that the darkness cooks_
Played a combination of Rock, Blues, all with great lyrics and by a great Band. Peter Green very underrated sadly missed, musician! .
R I P Mr Green thank you for the rifts and classic songs
Peter greens guitaring is haunting ...such a great lost talent
The greatest lead guitarist. The greatest rhythm section in all of R&R. The greatest 2nd and 3rd guitarists ever. Just magic. RIP, Greeny.
too bad he let what he thought were his oh so cool party friends permanently screw up his brain for the rest of his life
@@heaven-is-real ive read its the green dog "manalishi" that ask him to stop getting fame and giving away all his wealth and instrument. This is all the drug fault, it fucks with his mind big time..
@@uzumaki6759 agreed it totally destroyed it, permanent damage (evil stuff going on there)
@@uzumaki6759 @hr 777 . A great oversimplification. Indeed, there were and are many for whom psychedelics could trigger (possibly already latent) schizophrenia or other mental instability. This is why various indigenous cultures used them only cautiously and under the guidance of a respected , knowledgeable 'elder'. They were never intended and are ill-suited for mere recreation/ partying. And even less-so for those who may be vulnerable (because of genetics or other factors) to mental instability.
@rogerhoffmann620I collect old national geographic as well sn
Small world ain't it?
Peter Green will always be my number one source of musical inspiration. What a talent, and what a gift to us. Rest in peace, dear Peter. And, thank you.
So incredible to see Danny and Peter jamming here. Many thanks!
that Guitar solo is next level
I think this is one of the highlights of popular music. The hauting and creepy atmosphere in the FM version is lost in all the cover versions I have heard until now. That is why I think the original is still the best. Danny and Peter really rocked.
All five of them rocked.
Just incredible ! Puts hairs up on my neck ! Brilliant guitarist has stood the test of time !! Still sounds awesome
Great solo, wonderful tone, elegant ideas, no shredding.
Greeny as it best!!! I really love Peter Greens songs- They are so unique, and bringing me down immediatly. Maybe its only the sweet tone thing…. For me its magic….. RIP Peter, I miss you.
Powerful tube amps, raw lyrics and live, one take, no wonder why Peter made so much money, what an artistic performance, never to be duplicated by current acts on prime time tv ever again, at that time you actually had to be talented to get recognized.
Ironically enough, Peter left the band because the rest of the band refused to give away their money like he was doing. This song (The Green Manalishi) is actually about an LSD-induced nightmare Peter had of a green dog with horns that relentlessly barked at him and attacked him. In his nightmare the dog symbolized the evils of money, and from that time forward, Peter wanted NOTHING to do with any money that seemed more than enough for him to survive on. Ofc a lot of his reasoning for doing some of the odd things that he did (he pulled a gun out on a guy who was trying to deliver a royalty check to him in 1977) were due to delusions and auditory hallucinations that were a part of Schizophrenia (which he was diagnosed with). Excess drug use, stress, and random genetic susceptibility will get you that (“that” as in the development of a lifelong psychotic disorder).
Oh my God, this is true rock masterpiece. RIP Peter in Green Heaven
This song had an immense effect on me the first time I heard it. Thank you Peter Green. RIP.

Same here the solo is perfection. So dark and full of emotion.
one of the greatrockbands all time!!!!
This song is not as dark as people want it to be. It’s just fantastic!”
I agree with yo very much !!! But it tells us about money and how greedy people can get , just like the greenmanilishi (hindufemale)
1 of the all time great guitarists,the great Peter green.
And vocalists. His voice was perfect for blues - rock - and this.
If there was a list of the best guitarists of all time, at the top with a ONE in front of his name would be Peter Green.
I am so glad I grew up with this ringing in my ears as a 15 year old in London...What a wonderful line-up Peter, Danny and Jeremy made...
Saw them at the Tolworth Toby Jug pub sometime in the 60s.Fabulous!
Me too lol
That vibrato is so dark and sinister! I love it!
Rtpgreen GOD............i. cried when I was told about his passing
No body can play this great song like Fleetwood Mac the late greats Peter Green @ Danny Irwin BLESS THEM BOTH AND THANK YOU BOTH.
I always thought that Danny and Peter were souls of the same kind. Danny was a stellar player, with a vibrato I can only hope for in my best dreams and Peter had this unfathomable sadness in his eyes like he saw something we couldn't and felt it harder than any of us. They didn't belong to this band. They deserved better.
I must admit i had a beer or two when I wrote the comment above. It was unfair to McVie and Fleetwood.
So beautiful and great sounding that it actually hurts.
wow what a tune, tone and time.
Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac. The only Fleetwood Mac that matters. So tuff.💪
This is priceless! A musical treasure.We are so very lucky video like this exists.Thank you🌟
Peter, everytime I hear you play I cry like a baby, this doesn't happen with all the other great players I love. May you rest in peace legend, I love you. Did I told you that the Green Manalishi is my fave song ever? Thank you!!!
The greatest Mac line up doing their greatest song, brilliant. Imagine how great this band would have become if Green, Kirwan and Spencer hadn't been got at.
Very, very few songs have ever truly sent a shiver down my spine like this just has...
Just like it always has.
Watching this I realize " Fleetwood Mac " isn't a band it's a great rhythm section with various line ups and eras. What a ride for Mick and John.
A rhythm section? You’re sorely mistaken. Listen to the entire video of Fleetwood Mac’s performance of “I’ve Got A Mind To Give Up Living/All Over Again” and tell me that that sounds like a rhythm section! 😂 You’re basing your entire judgement on one performance out of the MANY performances that have been recorded during the Peter Green era of Fleetwood Mac.
Listen to any of their live performances of “Black Magic Woman” (which was written by Peter Green and originally done by Fleetwood Mac, not Santana-although Santana took it and ran with it like a champ! 🙌) during the Peter Green era as well
Thank goodness for old videos of pure talent - I can be 24 again..
One of the BEST songs ever recorded although Oh Well is also a great classic..Fantastic guitar playing by Peter and then the lyrics! You can already hear his next step was the asylum for the mentally insane.Yes, it´s sooooo good!!!!!
your not wrong there.
cutie fan
cutie fan
cutie fan oh well will be played at my funeral. all of it. nothing else.
dueling guitars with Danny Kirwan
RIP to The Green God and Danny!
Great songs never die. This is one of them. Oh yeah. 😁👍🍺
What a shame for Peter green and Danny kirwan that they couldn’t keep it together. Talented dudes.
RIP Peter. Your talent was there for all to see. You truly were an amazing writer and your music totally unforgettable. Thank you.
Peter Green came from another sphere. How fantastic he was jeeezzz
One of my favourite Fleetwood Mac tunes by the original and best FM imho.
My favorite Mac song, from any period. With a stunning rhythm that I still don't understand. Even Judas Priest had to simplify it in order to cover it. I'm sure most of you know what it's about.
For sure JP had to simplify...way to progressive and loooooooong (but in a good way) for HM back in '79. JP pretty much just took the first 2 minutes and repeated the sequence.
Can't argue with the late great B.B. King who said about Peter - "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats." - B.B. King.
Farewell you interdimensional being, thanks for the music
ONE OF THE BEST ON THIS PLANET----R I BLUES P
RIP Peter. I wish I had been able to tell you more about what your music meant to me.
Absolutely wonderful Peter Green and his Mac sounds from the soul
