This is the 1st time I have heard this version of Peter playing The Stumble live, aside from the studio recording of it on John Mayalls "Hard Road". In a word , "I AM FLOORED". This shows exactly what level Peter was capable of playing at in this point in time. I have NEVER heard Peter play this furiously and agressively in all my days. Rock on Peter ! We miss you. We miss you badly.
Superb, brilliant. I don't understand why people have to run cats like Beck and Clapton down though...all among the best Britain ever produced, it's not a competition...
Because Beck couldn't hold a candle up to Green. The Clapton hate is just backlash at the perceived disparity in fame. Clapton and Green two of the best ever.
@@Rikktor123 Clapton did very little of any worth after Cream. He's coasted along on his reputation for many years. Beck on the other hand has always been an innovator.
@@cirenosnor5768You nailed it. "Yawn." That's exactly what Jeff Beck's music makes me do! But seriously, folks, Beck is a superb technician, incredible innovator, but boy his music can be downright boring and soulless. Can't be said of Peter (at least of Peter before electroshock)
It's scary just how incredible Peter's playing is in this. The studio version on A Hard Road was already one of my favorites, but this is off the charts. Great Find!
I SAW FLEETWOOD MAC AT THE SHRINE AUDITORIUM ON THEIR FIRST TIME THERE - I SPOTTED JOHN MAC VIE DOWNSTAIRS AT THE BAR BUYING A COCA-COLA I SAW HIM POUR HIS BOURBON INTO THE CAN - I HELD UP MY HALF EMPTY CAN AND HE FILLED IT UP ALSO WE WENT UPSTAIRS AND I MET THE BAND - IT WAS A GOOD SHOW
+GuitarlosCarlos He came into my brother's music store in Tallahassee, Florida one day looking for some Rotosound bass strings, and we were out of 'em! And we were so busy, I couldn't even talk to him! Ugh! Boy, I felt bad that we couldn't give him the strings he needed ... to this day.
I was at that show too...I think it was Pinnacle Productions. Seemed like Peter's Gibson was mirrored on the front. Pinnacle put on the best shows, something like $4.00 to get in and 2 great acts...I never paid tho, bacdoor man.
@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer Fuck the Beatles. I’m tired of them, everyone writes about them on the internet. They are very overrated. After 1966 everyone forgot about them…
Someone....ANYONE... remaster this In Hi-Fidelity STAT! Greenie's wailing at 01:54 to 02:00 is pure Gibson 'n' Marshall genius...the sound of the future of Rock!

Not much you can do to a 57 year old live recording....
I'm not suggesting that any one of Peter's legion of fans has forgotten, but he had as good a Blue's voice as anybody else. As for his fretwork ?? Well it's all on this recording. I used to stand mesmerised watching him at so many of Fleetwood Mac's gigs. Oh happy days :):)
@@awol2602 That's why I commented 'Better than 'God' (EC) himself. Personally, I don't agree or believe in so-called Music Gods... EC got his own, just like Greeny did, and a whole lot more got some you and I never heard of..
Woooh!..that was a blast...and a lot better than reading nonsensical comments about who was better than who at playing guitar...who cares what you think?...the listening public made up their minds that all these well known player are worth listening to....
When Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac did the Chess Sessions in Chicago The things those black blues players had to say about Peter were amazing .BBKing was amazed when he heard it and sad .Most all thoes white blues players can play the runs and the notes but they just don't get that the blues is a feeling.Peter Green gets it .And when I hear him play I don't feel like I get it like he gets it .He's the only one who makes me break out in a cold sweat. And I agree that note for note ,Peter Green pulled more feeling out of every note more than anyone ever ingcluding the great black players .The ones at that Chess session expressed that too. Even John Mayall said Peter was better than Clapton and much easier to work with .They'd cut the album in half the time as when Clapton was with them .
His burning-hot live recordings with Mayall in ‘67 make the studio work sound tame. What are the stories about how Peter Green got so GOOD? How did he do it? How long did it take? Do we have anecdotes from peers and family?
The story goes that Mayall told Green, play like EC and you got the job.. So he did that for a while after which he developed his own unique style when he formed Fleetwood Mac..
This just gets better and better as it chugs along. The excitement must have been bloody electric. I believe the venue of this particular gig was upstairs at the old Manor House pub, off the Seven Sisters Road, which then hosted the Bluesville R&B Club. The pub building is now a licenced grocers store. What the bloody hell has happened to London?
I was there. Then following week was Jimi Hendrix, and savvy Ron and Nanda Lesley announced that if you wanted tickets for Hendrix you had to buy tickets to Mayall the previous week.
It is only now, researching this that I realise that, not only was I seeing Peter Green for the first time, but on the backline were John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. I should have been paying more attention.
There's another live recording of this tune recorded about the same time. It's great, but THIS is the one. The tape was probably playing back a bit too fast because the tune should be in E maj and this is half a step higher. Nevertheless, it just gets more and more exciting as it goes along. It's probably my favourite blues shout up ever. Mental.
@@thelaird5033 noticed that too. Mayall's reel to reel running a little fast. Green is likely 21 y/o on this recording (b. 10/29/46) and been playing about 5 years; simply amazing!
Wow! Don’t often hear Peter play with this amount of savagery and dexterity. I read an interview where he didn’t really like doing so because he felt it was somehow showing off, catering to the ‘Clapton is God’ contingent who didn’t appreciate his more considered blues playing as much. However, when the heckling got too much he would suddenly unleash just to show them he was perfectly able to play like that too. As a guitarist he was all about the music. The main question for me here is who recorded that? And how did it get into circulation? Is it a bootleg?
On the album A Hard Road the tune is in E and here it is in F so I guess the recording is speeded. That´s why it sounds so fast. Yes PG plays very fast but not as fast this.
In fact Peter was absolutely brilliant and sparkling in those years (as author too), but Eric has improved over the years and in the years 2000 he reached a maturity, unparalleled finesse.
Cant agree with you there. Eric stayed fixed in the minor pentatonic and stagnated. After the Layla album he released nothing original. Now Jeff Beck, that's another story.
I don't really agree, either. Eric was probably at his best with John Mayall and during some of the Cream period when they weren't drowning in psychedelia. He was still young, dumb and full of come back in those days. From then on his playing started to get a bit workaday. Very accomplished but with not much edge to it. It didn't do his bank balance any harm, though. He was more popular than ever, but for me it all seemed a little humdrum. I don't know whether it was the drugs and drink that took their toll. Maybe he just got older. These things are all subjective and I've no doubt that there will be plenty who disagree. I know that he definitely would.
@@thelaird5033 We'll never know what Peter Green may have achieved had health problems not got in the way. Beck continues to be innovative. Clapton seemed to have found a successful formula and stuck with it.
