So glad to see Green still has it despite how fragile the guy may be, we'll never see the type of playing the Green did in his early youth with the Blues breakers and Mac. So glad that this gifted passionate soul is playing the Blues despite the horrors he endured . Thank You so much Peter . You are the best , 2nd only to Robert Johnson. You had it all ,emotional phrasing ,tone to die for and Dorian tinged Blues that left BB King with the Cold Sweats. Blues will always be the heaviest of all...
"we'll never see the type of playing the Green did in his early youth with the Blues breakers and Mac." Hope you've learned to keep your stupid opinions to yourself, over the last seven years.
I met Peter three or four times during the Splinter Group era, and my band supported him once at a gig, he's a thoroughly nice guy, and although he was somewhat vague the first time I met him he was more and more 'with it' each time. Fine chap.
So right you are, PMB! Perhaps Peter's greatest quality, which sets him apart (and 'above', in my opinion!) from other guitarists is his restraint: he allows the 'white spaces'.....the empty spots between the notes....the silence...to come through. He believes a whisper is better than a shout.
.....yes, effortless, and so full of expression. Nice mellow tone too. This is how The Stumble should be played. Freddie King would be applauding if he could hear it. So many others who've recorded this piece over the years have destroyed it by trying to play too fast and flashy or with a high-gain sound (like Gary Moore, for example). That doesn't impress me. They should all relax, lay back.......and listen to Peter Green.
@PlayMoreBlues Spot on. I wouldnt decry anyone else but the ones who use out and out agression just sound out of control to me - in Peters own song words Showbiz Blues. You have uploaded what I think is Peters best playing during his comeback years great show! Thanks for taking the time to upload this. Cheers
Wow! Really sticking to Freddie's licks on this version, and sounds great on a Tele -- much different than LP/Marshall combo of the Bluesbreakers days.
When I saw him play he seemed to Struggle with the stumble rather now he seems to have picked up pace and Dudley Moore and arthritis have perhaps been confined to where they should be.
@Eliot Artigue Sorry, but I don't agree. Peter had the touch throughout. Long nails and all. Check out the Israel tapes. Soulful. And he did real good stuff with Splinter Group. It just wasn't the usual rock star crap on demand.
@@Jahnink with splinter group he was a backup. Big guy played all the parts. He REALLY struggles with the POS fender guitar. No sustain whatsoever. I know albatross was recorded using a fender? But that one you can throw in the trash. He had to pluck the string infinitely cause the damn thing doesn’t sustain AT ALL! Say what you will but Peter was NEVER the same after his trip to Germany. His musicality Diminished greatly. He’s one of favorite guitarists from JOhn Mayall to FM. After that? His music is not exactly touching and his tone was gone. I agree with long fingernails he can play. But don’t sit here and say splinter group was ground breaking because Peter was famous and his name in the band drew the crowd but his playing was hugely subpar

even in this when he is absolutely not on top of his game he is still great, my nr 1 insporation for blues guitar. gone but not forgotten

Great post and he played brilliant. Hes always just so relaxed and free. Seems totally effortless.
Never seen Peter playing a Telecaster before this clip ! 🎸

Godspeed Mr Peter Green
Beautiful playing
Still a fine bluesman. Not many players would be able to carry it that quiet.

I disagree
Gary Moore brought a more solid and exciting version
But in saying that there is room for everyone
Tasteful, jolly Blues. Nice "narrative" notes. Love the rhythm player; all down strokes with the thumb (t.p?). Tight stuff.
Its great to see him pull some of his face's that he use to haha

Peter Green the legend, second only to BB King !
BB King would disagree. He'd put Peter Green in the number 1 spot.
I wouldn't say either is better or worse. Or best. As beat poet Gary Snyder was fond of saying, "comparisons are odious."

Fantastic. Wonderful feel for the piece.
Better than his original

the fire done went out.
Too bad his amp is on 1, and he's playing a tele.
Quit bitching, you stupid asshole.
Peter doesn't need to crank the volume. That's for kids.
@@Jahnink he sounded like shit. Needed a Les Paul. Since 1970 he lost all his touch. Extremely sad but face it! lSD fucked him him beyond playability

It is unfortunate that the LSD also turned him into Arthur Scargill.
Peter Green could play a tennis racquet and it would still sound great
😂!
