I think this is Peter's finest performance, forced to play this by Danny's broken string, he shows his true love for the blues. That tone... He starts off playing with dynamic subtlety, almost acoustic, and then, in an instant, changing to scorching, searing distortion, that cuts through his humble vocals beautifully. It just goes to show you the level of his ability and the dexterity of his touch, one that many guitarists overlook. With just a slight turn of the volume knob the guitar can be as just as powerful loud, as it is when soft and sweet.
Excellent post - he gets more out of a slight turn of his volume knob than many other guitarists get from stepping on a pedal that activates 5 or 6 rack effects.
He’s also playing that famous “Greeny” ‘59 Les Paul. It went from Peter to Gary Moore (Thin Lizzy) and is now in Kirk Hammett’s (Metallica) possession.
I'm American and every American I knew in the late 60's early 70's would agree Peter Green was one awesome musician. We loved the orginal black blues masters, still love them, revere them, listen to them, and we loved the white blues masters also. A master is a master. Good music is good music.
Been saying that for forty years when I found the album English rose everything Peter did was amazing.glad to hear you feel the same rip Peter. Sorry you had to go to find peace
I'm blown away. This is transcendant. There is something incredibly deep about this performance. It's so PRIMAL . Peter Green was brilliant .This performance proves it.
@@slowhand8301 one major difference, Peter never spouted, nor supported, any of the same racist garbage Crapton was scarfing down like a daft c*u*n*t; in fact, after Peter left Fleetwood, he had a black member as part of his solo titled Peter Green band, which for late 60's-early 70's was a bold move, considering its fresh off the civil rights movement. You really should educate yourself more on not just all of your idols, but a fair amount of human history as well
"Greatest" No. You need to do more blues history. Green, while amazing wasn't a pure blues guy. He had his feet in other styles - rock mainly. To call him blues exclusively isn't accurate. He brought passion of blues style into the rock world, strict blues - not at all. This is the problem with the rock generation and it's understanding of blues. It never looks much father back the SRV, Clapton, Green. There is SOOOO much more there and even cooler stuff. You are hearing and seeing the reframing - not the original stuff. The original stuff is far more compelling.
@@zoso1980 ma lui a differenza di Clapton è SRV se n'è sbattuto del successo e di fare cose che il mainstream gli ha succerito.... È sempre stato Green... Ed è per questo che lo amiamo
RIP Peter Green. I've been listening to Green and early FM a lot this year for some reason just this week I had the odd thought: if I could have someone be young forever that'd be Green in that time. I hope he is smiling now like he used to.
I literally “discovered” Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac about an hour before he died. It was strange. For no reason, I started searching Fleetwood Mac on iTunes to download a song from Rumors. And lo and behold all these other recordings from the late 60’s and ‘70’s came up. Amazing music. How is the original version of Fleetwood Mac so unknown??? Edit: And then, as I searched You Tube for live video of these older songs, I see comments saying RIP Peter Green. 😢 I may be late, but I will keep Peter Green’s music alive.
man did Peter have the BLUES all the way through him, gives me chills when he sings " nobody knows the way I feel, the way I loved that woman bound to get me killed ", we love you Brother, Peace.
Love watching the old stuff - a real huge talent. My first introduction was a song called "Out of Reach" with his unique haunting guitar and vocals. Sadly the real Peter started to disappear by the end of 1970 and never came back. Of course there were many decent recordings after that, but they relied heavily on the help of others, down to who was actually playing lead. Watching him playing with the Splinter Group and after, was heartbreaking. So as I said, it's lovely watching his unique talent in his 1966 - 1970 prime!
Green was a true master of emotion and story-telling in his playing, he was one of the greatest (if no the best). He was so interesting to listen to, never repetitive, and always seemed to know where to take it next to complete "his story". No matter what the instrument is, or genre of music, the goal is the same . . . to "move" people and make them disappear into another world and move their listeners in some profound way, Peter Green did that in spades! I am always in disbelief how good he was at that whether the song was a fast jump-blues, hard acid style rock like Rattlesnake shake, or his searing slow blues like Jumping at Shadows, that man was blessed and cursed at the same time!
It really don't get better than this! This is how a guitar should sound, not that over processed sound that is quite common today :-) And yeah, what a voice!!!
Regretting the farewell of Mr Peter Green's from This plane the oder God of The English Blues you left your Story despite the difficulties your health, your legacy was great Blues Man 🎸🎶🎹🥁
Peter Green, the only guitarist whose guitar playing gives me goosebumps. His legacy is truly priceless and timeless. Keep rocking forever in heaven blowing away God's mind with your riffs my fellow bluesman. Don't forget that we will always love you down here!!! RIP Peter Green
Genius. So sad to hear of his death. Hugely underrated talent. God Bless Peter. Thank you for your music . My only hope is the misguided youth of today, can discover real music.
Lyrics Don't look for no worries, worries and troubles come around Yes, I don't look for no worries, people, worries and troubles come around The world keep on turning, I got to keep my feet on the ground Nobody saw me cryin' - nobody knows the way I feel Nobody saw me cryin' - nobody knows the way I feel Yeah, the way I love the woman, it's bound to get me killed I loved the little girl so good, she made my low down butter come Loved the little girl so good, she made my low down butter come I need the woman so bad, I need her like the sky needs the sun
The true master of the blues.. he had the 'touch' on guitar like no one can emulate.. i met him and shook his hand.. his hands were so small & gentle, i gave him my 'Then play on' album from 1969 to sighn, he opend it and said.. pointing at himself in the photo sleeve, ' that aint me is it?' A lovely guy..
Simply fabulous and untouchable. In this genre, absolutely no one came close to Peter Green... With each note, milking maximum feeling from his guitar and vocal. Just mesmerizing....thank you for posting!
You can't compare bands and artists ..you have to take each on their own merit . The comments comparing are pointless . It is what it is and this is heart wrenchingly soul liftingly beautiful . You either like it or you don't. Beautiful .thanks to whoever uploaded this.
while everyone was away to either change a broken string or have a smoke,Peter had to entertain the audience all alone.The result of this effort was one of the best blues acts.
I saw Peter Green and Eric Clapton a few times in the late 60's in the London club scene.Eric was a always a great technician but never had the should of Peter.RIP Peter.
Peter IS the guitar at this moment and the guitar IS him. Later in life he said, "The guitar used to speak for me. But I can't let it do that for me anymore. I can't let it break my heart again". Maybe the player's dream is in reality just too high of a price to pay...
Two of my favorites died in the last months, John Prine on April 7th of Covid 19, and Peter Green two days ago. A really big lost for the music. Rest in peace, John and Peter. Hope you'll have big jams together up there.
This is what I call "killer rock/blues." The way Greenie includes much of himself in his playing, superb!! No wonder fellow guitarist Gary Moore was influenced by Peter Green.
A Blues Maestro. Thank you for the music and being such an inspiration to others...like Gary Moore. Your music will live on and inspire others.Rest in peace.
Wow!!! Have loved this Man's music since being a teenager in the 70s Absolutely stunning performance!! Wish I'd been able to catch him live!! How can an East end Jewish boy become one of the World's greatest Blues men?
I'm so glad Danny broke that string!
whatever dude, you're missing the point. if that string hadn't broken we wouldn't have this masterpiece
it never did break.
Nemamime I Prezime the vast majority disagree. Enjoy your minority opinion.

+Billy Tebb "Forced" to play it? Probably not really, but thanks broken string!
Billy Tebb In the album version he actually plays this on an acoustic!
all guitarists need to realize the power of volume/tone knobs
He’s also playing that famous “Greeny” ‘59 Les Paul. It went from Peter to Gary Moore (Thin Lizzy) and is now in Kirk Hammett’s (Metallica) possession.
RIP Peter, one of the very very best.. feels like the world stopped turning today.

Feel the same
Me too.....RIP Peter 💔💔💔

One Les Paul + a wall of Fender combos + one Peter Green = This gift to mankind
He actually used a bunch of fender heads and cabs. Just to be an ass.

Should have 1B views. for its blues authenticity.
You could eat that tone its so delicious.

The best thing about Peter Green is that, he isn't just an amazing guitarist, he puts soo much feeling into his playing that almost no one can top it.
Genius man...his touch on that guitar and his voice! Doesnt get much better??
He and Stephen Stills are two of my favorites.
Mesmerising. RIP the great Peter Green. Your music lives on.
man did Peter have the BLUES all the way through him, gives me chills when he sings " nobody knows the way I feel, the way I loved that woman bound to get me killed ", we love you Brother, Peace.
That has to be the best sounding Les Paul on earth. This live spontaneous jam sounds even better than the original album version. Amazing
There was nobody like the late Peter Green, but the World Keeps On Turning... RIP

The backbone to original fleet wood...Peter green.. was for me the inavator...great musician...and vocals...R I P ..PETER GREEN..
Absolute Class. No prep , just filling in while his mate changes a string. Just an outstanding guitarist,singer,songwriter, musician .
Not only a great guitarist and songwriter, but a beautiful voice too. Bless you Peter Green, RIP!

Greeny - the hero of Brit Blues...a magical voice. Stripped bare in all his wonderfulness. Incredible piece of video history right here.
I swear this is the meanest shit I have heard
Thank you. I didn't know how to say it. I think I was too awestruck by Green to formulate that statement.
My absolute favorite guitarist. His musical phrasing is so incredible.
Genius. So sad to hear of his death. Hugely underrated talent. God Bless Peter. Thank you for your music . My only hope is the misguided youth of today, can discover real music.
Lyrics
Don't look for no worries, worries and troubles come around
Yes, I don't look for no worries, people, worries and troubles come around
The world keep on turning, I got to keep my feet on the ground
Nobody saw me cryin' - nobody knows the way I feel
Nobody saw me cryin' - nobody knows the way I feel
Yeah, the way I love the woman, it's bound to get me killed
I loved the little girl so good, she made my low down butter come
Loved the little girl so good, she made my low down butter come
I need the woman so bad, I need her like the sky needs the sun
This is some of the best blues playing and singing that I have ever heard.
2020 August 1st, world keeps turning. We're still listening, Peter. 🎼🎵🎶🎶🎸🎙
The true master of the blues.. he had the 'touch' on guitar like no one can emulate..

'Then play on' album from 1969 to sighn, he opend it and said.. pointing at himself in the photo sleeve, ' that aint me is it?'
A lovely guy..
How on earth can anyone dislike this ??? Sheer genius !
His groove is so sick and he is so unpredictable..
Masterful performance by one of the greats. Good observations on your part, too!
I can't get enough of watching this.

I met Peter last night... in Glasgow... What an honor... Thanks for playing for us Pete. Much appreciated.
along with jimmy probably the best singer of all the quitar heroes.
Thanks for the positive reply. I've been pondering the question for years.
this bit of footage proves to me that peter green could entertain the crowds on his own if called upon to do so, a unique talent.
Kirwin, Spencer, and Green, all in the same band?!!!
Mind-blowing!!!
should be Peter Green & Fleetwood Mac, but thanks for this great track

I have a religion, music and talent of Peter Green Only
What a beautiful soul
Peter Green perfection, he truly was magnificent. Many thanks for sharing.
The best "oh, Danny broke a string, I'll just do this meanwhile...." EVER!
Blues is a feeling as the song says. This cat had that feeling like no other.
Damn. That guitar sounds amazing. Probably because Green puts a feel in like no other. He is just 1 of the best
He was the best period
Peter IS the guitar at this moment and the guitar IS him. Later in life he said,
"The guitar used to speak for me. But I can't let it do that for me anymore. I can't let it break my heart again". Maybe the player's dream is in reality just too high of a price to pay...
Nice to hear someone give the Flag their due, ded! One of the best horn bands of ANY decade. Texas is my favorite, Buddy MIles RULES!
Peter green was truly a great guitarist who paved the way for the Mac. Rip mr blues man
The best blues guitar ever.
This just keeps getting better ever time I listen to it. The Shrine '69 CD hasn't left the player in weeks.
The best feel guitarist ever
Reminds me on hendrix's hear my train coming, but with great les paul tone. Best I've heard PG play.
Like another youtuber said,"Thank fuck Danny broke a string!"

Rest in peace Peter Greenbaum.
