This isn't just great guitar, it is mind-numbing, especially after the songs is over, and you're trying to comprehend what you just heard! Such deep and skilled playing here it should be in the Library of Congress, and be a mandatory teaching-standard in schools. The power of this solo takes a toll on the listener, glad to see so many who agree.
Did you ever see the 2005 Tribute Concert for Phil Lynott? Gary Moore's playing is right up there with this. I think he even uses Peter's guitar sometimes. IIRC. Here's a link to one song: ruclips.net/video/e2ffgZOab2k/видео.html
Its completely improvised not carefully placed. He would have only played this once and would not have remembered it afterwards. It’s Gm pentatonic in three positions any sequence practically fits over this chord progression.
Just listened to Butterfield's version, with Bloomfield. As brilliant as Mike was on this cut, Peter's soulfulness cuts so deep. No comparison for this senior citizen blues hound. Think I'll cry now. Thank you Peter. You gave your life for this.
One of the most haunting guitar songs I've ever heard. This is music from troubled souls. Peter's voice sounds painful, as the guitars sound as haunting as ever. You can feel the soul in this just screaming in agony. Wonderful song. This show and the Boston Tea Party recordings have some of the best playing from the early Fleetwood Mac band.
i worked on tours since 1970's with tons of greats - jazzers, Stevie, Stones, Eagles blah blah just happened to pop this on today Sunday my god Peter was great RIP
So sad about the news today of the Green God Peter the Great .He was Band Aid when Geldof was stil at school.A truly gifted and giving human being R.I.P
So true, before George Harrison did the first big one for Bangladesh. Peter the Great, now appearing hourly with The 3 Kings, Stevie & Jimi Sextet beyond eternity. RIP And he had his neck PUP turned the correct way!!! *
Is this pickup lingo? note to self get my pickups rewound. I did the neck one on my 56 strat 11639 but maybe do the other two to Danny specs Gary Brawer at Real Guitars did the bobbin work and a refret in 97 and turned a very old strat into a les paul cause I asked for it. If anyone needs a plek job out of this world good....(Joe Satriani uses Gary as well as many pros ...go to where its Real on Lafayette in da chity of san franny.
@@yarygork2334 Peters 59 Les Paul got the neck PUP flipped somehow and the magnet got flipped causing an out of phase sound in the mid position. I just joke about it being the correct way because it LOOKS better,lol.Flipping the position to match the bridge PUP makes no diff to the sound.IMHO
One of the top ten blues performances ever. Period. Peter and Danny are criminally underrated, probably more so by the public and the media than guitarists and musicians, but still.
Nobody phrases like Peter Green. Shredding seems so shallow after hearing this. Every note gets its space. So cool. A lot easier said than done. Peter does it best.
Without a doubt is better than the original haha. Even BB King said "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats".
Mike Bloomfield also plays a great version of this song on the Paul Butterfield Blues Band album East-West, but I still prefer Peter Green's version. I'm also a big fan of Peter Green's version of "Need Your Love So Bad" and played it on Peter's birthday last year at the Casa del Blues de Sevilla.
Me too! Hendrix and Green - the best ever. If I was stuck on a desert island with only one artist's music I'd probaby choose Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac days. Can you imagine having nothing but Jimmy Page to listen to? I'd go insane.
Only Hendrix did something similar (in his own right) - listen to "Who Knows" on studio-recorded "Band of gypsies", "In from the storm" and certain tunes on "Rainbow bridge". Clapton, SRV, J. Winter, Roy Buchanan... "got almost there" - virtuosity, speed, "tone" - all is there, but the guitar remains an excitingly sounding instrument...
The note Peter Green hits at 2.21 sends a shiver down my spine. No-one before or since has been able to touch the feeling in his playing on slow blues. Small wonder that BB King said Peter was the only guitarist who made him sweat.
Wonderful, haunting blues playing. It could only be Peter Green. No electronic trickery, quite crude amplification, but all completely overcome by sublime feel, touch and tone.
Holy fuck!! Didn't expect to see this on YT. This show is traded; I got mine from an allman brothers thread long ago. One of my favorite guitar solos, ever. Peter Green will always and forever be a legend.
Phenomenal...It's evident why BB King was amongst Peter Green's admirers!! Obviously, the guitar mastery, haunting soulfulness in both playing and singing...plus charisma and then some, that just can't be taught...RIP Peter Green, Danny Kerwin and BB King...Your presences resonate through your music and the ages!!!
Hands down, one of the best blues guitarists who has ever lived. As BB King put it, "[h]e has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats". All that with nothing but a guitar, an amp, and his hands.
If the first 5 minutes and 57 seconds didn't knock you out, then 5:58 is the finishing blow! I can't even articulate how awesome that run is... just gotta sit back, listen and let it kick your ass
It's amazing ... Such passionate insight into young minded mental health as humanity rushed too judge the greatest explosion of music EVER . As a person who LIVED THE era's of Rock , the Blues , and experimental remembrance of the old songs of the blacks of the South call the blues, or is b.b. King said the pinks or whatever have you told the stories of how we felt. It all started with sister Loretta Thorpe and I'm told that last year we lost that we lost one of the greatest guitarist Jeff Beck . As a roadie off and on for 14 years I wish they were certain people I could have talked to and got to know, and would have had deep conversations about life and staying steadfast in our convictions. I'm 77 now in a hospital with numerous conditions from being in Vietnam at only 19. Country Joe McDonald said it best . They might take your body but they're not going to take your mind . Live each moment to the fullest, laugh out loud. You're not laughing at them you're laughing at the situation you're in with them.
Thank you so much for posting this truly exquisite performance. PGFM, my favorite band. Peter's playing just goes up and up and up. So glad this performance was captured on tape. Soon after this, Peter left. I really can't see Peter competing with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Boston and Journey. Peter was one of a kind. Bless him.
He set such a high bar that others could follow but this performance has a crying playing that nobody could ever match or himself surpass - pure platinum
The pictures of a young Danny Kirwan are hard to look at. Danny died less than a month ago, on June 08. His playing was cut short by a similar deterioration of mental stability (by what still remains a mystery today) as Peter Green's. Two great guitarists who's paths crossed briefly during a most influential time in the English music period of the late 1960's. R.I.P. Danny
As much as I love the Boston Tea Party shows I feel this is his best live song with Fleetwood Mac. Please let me know if you agree or disagree. RIP Peter
I was a senior in college and a friend got tickets to go to the opening weekend of a new music venue in New Orleans, The Warehouse. There were three bands playing and our main interest was to see the Grateful Dead. However, I keenly remembered being blown away by Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green's incredibly soulful playing. There was a third group, but I regret that I cannot remember who they were. This brings back pleasant memories of that day in 1970.
I listened to this last night after eating mushrooms and I cried for about 3 hours. It was kind of just intensely painful but I’m glad I went through it. Peace.
The "Live At The Warehouse, New Orleans, Louisiana , Feb 1 , 1970" was never officially released. It is available for free online for download as a bootleg. An excellent show well worth downloading. This is without a doubt the best version Peter Green ever did of this song.
Agreed. The Warehouse recordings are almost mythical. And this is my all time favourite live guitar performance - and I wasn’t there, somehow I didn’t need to be. Thank god for PG and RUclips.
Kirwan and Green could have given us nothing short of 10 years' pure guitar genius. I'd love to have watched the two develop new styles through the 70s. Green had a real talent for writing and god given voice, Kirwan the touch of an angel. Very special duo. Spencer was pretty handy, too, on the 4-string.
Thanks Robert Cooper for your very interesting comments. I was around studying and listening to these lads intently in the sixties as well but I always thought Greeny had the edge. The events with drugs in Germany which destroyed his genius were a terrible tragedy and cause me great sadness. Listen to that wonderful playing for God's sake!
Great, great blues guitar playing. He certainly is a great guitarist. I also like very much Mike Bloomfield's playing on the version done by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.
Jimi got me started on guitar music, Robin Trower.... but THIS fella. The GOAT. Utterley stunning. Oh, and sorry, I do not have a humble opinion on this matter...lol.
nobody actually can argue about things as taste...what-'s good music..what-'s not and so on but I believe that our youth misses a lot. They think the number of likes is friendship and so on. Well, iám old ( 65) but it is possible to define what music is and what just noice.
Beautiful guitar work by Peter Green. But do not, under any circumstances forget about Danny Kirwan. There is a very good reason that Peter Green, himself, brought Danny into the band. He was not brought in to back up Peter. Peter was not that self absorbed. Danny was, in many ways, an equally adept guitarist. Many listeners mistake Danny's solos for Peter's. Fleetwood Mac in this era had three great guitarists, Peter Green, Danny Kiran, and Jeremey Spencer. When they recorded their material, the musician who wrote the song was always the featured soloist. This is the best way to find out who is playing what. Danny's playing, though somewhat similar to Peter's was very distinctive in that he had a very fast and intense left hand vibrato. Even more so than Peter's. And Danny drew influences from different players such as Django Reinhardt, and Lonnie Johnson along with B.B., Freddie, and Otis Rush. Check out Jigsaw Puzzle Blues, and Otis Spann's Temperature is rising. All Danny! Also check out a later Fleetwood Mac instrumental, "Sunny Side of Heaven" off of the "Bare Trees" Album. Pure genius! I in no way mean to detract from Pater Green's genius. I do believe however that Danny is often overlooked and put in the shadow of Peter. In the later 60's when most of my guitar playing buddies were going nuts over Eric Clapton and Hendrix, I was the oddball and was absorbed in the music of this version of Fleetwood Mac. And then there is Jeremey Spencer........!
my respects for danny kirwan, but peter is on a whole other league. it's easy to distinguish their playing. anyhow, to think how young were the both of them and how talented is just crazy. cheers!

Jimi Hendrix/ Band of Gypsys Machine Gun live @ Filmore East 1969✅
Every note carefully placed ,not just a meaningless flurry of notes for the sake of it ..brilliant !
I've only just discovered this song and the first time I heard it, the solo almost had me in tears, just because it's so fucking good!

There is no need for any human being to play the electric guitar ever again this is everything ♥️

These old British bands had such a deep feeling for the Blues.
He had the talent, maybe not the mind to make a great career. He deserved much more recognition that he had ! RIP Peter Green !
Sometimes it's best just to say nothing.
So sad about the news today of the Green God Peter the Great .He was Band Aid when Geldof was stil at school.A truly gifted and giving human being R.I.P
So true, before George Harrison did the first big one for Bangladesh. Peter the Great, now appearing hourly with The 3 Kings, Stevie & Jimi Sextet beyond eternity. RIP

After about 700 listens, I still think this is the best guitar solo ever recorded.
Sad day today...the great Greeny has passed away...7/25/2020
One of the top ten blues performances ever. Period. Peter and Danny are criminally underrated, probably more so by the public and the media than guitarists and musicians, but still.
they are not underrated at all !
Peter Green, the master of electric blues. That guitar goes straight to the heart. Very moving and very beautiful.
Straight through the heart

One of the most beautiful solos to ever leave a Les Paul!..
RIP to this great guitarist, singer and songwriter. 💐🎸💐
Nobody phrases like Peter Green. Shredding seems so shallow after hearing this. Every note gets its space. So cool. A lot easier said than done. Peter does it best.
RIP Peter. As soon as I heard the news today, I thought of your wonderful voice and playing on this track.
Same here. I think its his greatest solo. RIP
That solo is nothing but Peter Green. There can be no mistaking. No one can sound as beautiful or look as beautiful as him.
TRUE.
Except for Danny Kirwan.
I will never ever be tired of this song. He will be forever my favourite guitar player
E. Roldan same here!.. marry me.
E. Roldan Ditto! And again!!
He's my favourite guitar player too. This is an incredible version of an old B B King song which in my opinion is even better than the original
Without a doubt is better than the original haha. Even BB King said "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats".

Hendrix and Page are my favorite guitar players, but i'm not sure anyone ever made a guitar cry the way Peter Green could.
Stevie Ray Vaughan?
Me too! Hendrix and Green - the best ever. If I was stuck on a desert island with only one artist's music I'd probaby choose Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac days. Can you imagine having nothing but Jimmy Page to listen to? I'd go insane.

2:21 - 3:21 is incredible
I believe this is why the great BB shivered. The sense of space, power, economy and gut wrenching soul. Makes you weak at the knees.
I think BB said "cold sweats". I know what he means
I don’t think the exact words matter - what’s important was BB’s sentiment.
Top shelf early British Blues with Peter on the Gibson Holy Grail. It doesn't get much better than this folks.
I’ll keep this brief. Wow!
Wonderful, haunting blues playing. It could only be Peter Green. No electronic trickery, quite crude amplification, but all completely overcome by sublime feel, touch and tone.

Perhaps the best thing Greeny ever did. So ironic now that he's gone. This IS the Blues.
So passes the great Peter Green RIP 💙

Outstanding. One of my favourite guitar players. Peter Green xxxxx
The best piece of music...as if Peter grabs into my body, grabs my soul, puts it back, walksaway with a smile.

No one could ever fill Peter's pants. he is the greatest Brishih blues guitarist. And I mine NO ONE...
Fleetwood Mac after Peter Green = bubble gum.
Real fleetwood mac is actually this, still Stevie nicks was legendary so I think Fleetwood is the best band
