Never knew much about Peter green until my grandad showed me his music . It was like opening a treasure chest for me at 25 years old I can honestly say Peter greens worst song is better than any new songs out today . rip Pete 👍🏻
They say that playing the blues isn't difficult but to be good you have to feel it and by God doesn't he feel it and don't we feel it listening to him play it.
Whoever told you that is talking nonsense! The blues is definitely not easy to play! The techniques required such as sustained bends, pull offs, vibrato, pre bend vibrato! Trust me the blues ain’t easy to play. Compare it with jazz or classical for instance. Non of those techniques are used. That’s just the left hand not to mention the right hand needs to learn how to alternate pick, use of fingers, thumb for percussion. Only once have you mastered that can you think about putting in feeling!!
Peter Green was simply the greatest white blues singer/guitarist who ever lived. Anyone would kill to have his vocal ability, and they'd do the same to possess his guitar skills. He could do both. No one else has come close.
One of The Greatest Blues Guitarists that ever lived, used to see him about a lot in local shops,as he lived near me on Canvey Island,and although he had issues,he was always friendly if you spoke to him.R.I.P Peter.😢😔🙏🕊
Right. And who knew they would be the ones to continue the name in to the 70's when it became a pop band. A good pop band but a far cry from Green, Kirwan, Spencer blues.
I really admire Eric Clapton at times, but I think Peter Green surpassed him in playing with more passion, his tone and phrasing just incredible, impeccable vocals as well. If Peter had never gone down that LSD road who knows what else he would have done musically, I think the fame and, as the "Green Manalishi" (greed for money), just got to him, he really just wanted to play beautiful music...which he did!
I remember Anthony “Duster” Bennett ! He was friends with John Mayall and at one of Mayall’s shows, he gave Duster the stage and he did a one man band thing . He was really great. So sad that he died so young in a car crash . .
Make a dumb man scream and shout. Had the pleasure of talking to Peter over an orange juice or two a few years back about Duster Bennett and what an amazing performer he was. Very little video seems to exist which is a shame. The drive on this guitar solo is out of this world and I think even BB King said Peter was the guitarist who could make the world stop turning. Lovely man, just got a little lost on the way but haven't a lot of us?
Listening to this , makes you realise not just what a brilliant guitarist Peter Green was , but what a great singer he was too. I’m so grateful I got to see him live before he past away.
Oh sweet Jaysus, Mary and Joseph. This is the best piece of blues ever recored, like. Or even the best music in general. God bless Mr. Green and may he rest in peace.
I love this track. First tune I wanted to hear after hearing Peter sadly passed away last night. Yes, I shed a tear especially during the solo. Tasteful playing like no other. Rest In Peace, Peter Green.
His guitar sound and vocals are haunting in a bluesy way. Arguably one of the best blues guitarist/vocalist ever........ if not the greatest! Grateful for what Peter Green left us. Thanks for posting.
Yes, it's the haunting quality which really moved me...there's The Supernatural too, which conveys the same feeling (John Mayall)...I'm 65 and still loving it.
@@schmoegler Yeah,besides Peter Green I just loved John Mayall Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton. That John Mayall vocal tone and texture during that time was absolutely sic! All Your Love was aptly placed as the first song from that record.
@@schmoegler Yeah, 67 years old and a FWM fan 4ever. A Fool No More and Need Your Love So Bad send me to a different reality.....EVERY TIME! I loved the Bob Welch sound as well, Hypnotyzed.
Back in 1969, I think it was, we had just finished 'Band Practise', when our Manager brought in a record of Fleetwood Mac's 'Need your love so bad'. We listened and were blown away by Peter's Guitar playing. All these years later, still blown away... I can play it note for note, but I'm not Peter...
Even the incredible Gary Moore did a wonderful version of this track but it just wasn't the same, the combination of this 1970 analogue sound at the Fillmore and the soulful playing not to mention the incredible vocals are unparalleled. Even the mighty Clapton circa 1968 could not have done better.
I saw Peter Green on his last tour of the UK. On the last song of the night, he played the guitar, the only way Peter Green can play, which was brilliantly. I could just imagine the impact he must have had when he replaced Clapton. He knocked me for six, as we say in the UK, he was on fire!
Great!!! I saw some memorable shows in SF but missed Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. A good friend saw them at Winterland. He wished i could have been there, though i was i was only 13 at the time. Did finally make to FE, 07 Tom Petty. Great show, too.
Well, not this particular show (it was recorded in Boston at the Tea Party) but yeah, I was there too, Fillmore West, Jan. 1969, right up front. Riveting; absolutely the best. I was high as a kite on mushrooms that evening
U know sometimes someone has to point out the obvious for us to see it. I've listened to this song a few times, but till I read your comments, did it occur that guy is right on. Excellent comment and Excellent solo
Such a sad loss to us all.....for those that never saw/heard Peter live I feel for you.......just listen to this.....an object lesson to all would be bluesman. Bless you Peter, be at peace now
RIP Peter you Will be one of greatest guitarist of blues history and you stayed the master of numbers guitarist for the life. .. So long Peter... So long... peace at your mind
The Brits had a run of great guitarist in the 60's Blues boom,people lose the plot with it going on about the greatest etc.They all had something special to offer,some were ethnic,some added elements to their music.Peter Green done both,he was a great musician and will be remembered
I'm impressed how a few notes played with passion easily reaches the parts of the soul that zillions of frantic ones cannot. As Carlos Santana says "get inside the note,feel it feel it."... And the bonus of Peters sweet voice all adds to this masterpiece. How can one put it in words ? you cant, just enjoy Peters massive talent. RIP Pete...serenade the Angels and fellow musicians wherever they may be..
Peter Green!!! God's gift to the Blues.His Voice carries the conviction in every word.His Phrasing on the Guitar is so moving!! Never a barrage of notes,or a bombardment of sound to pummel the listener into submission.Just pure Guitar tone plugged straight into the Amp,unlike so called local imps that hide behind pedals for faux tone.So much to be learned just listening to the greatness that is Peter Green!! Thank you.
Play this every Friday across the world at every country's 12 o clock mid-day, then live the rest of the weekend accordingly. Our world will be a better place. Peace.
There's a superior version from the same live recordings in Boston ( where McVie and Kirwan don't get lost during the intro like here) You can find it on a recording simply titled, Fleetwood Mac BOSTON on Madfish records (2013). I first heard it in the 80's on a Dutch label.
ANY who are Green fans, A MUST HAVE, Gary Moore had Green's '59 Les Paul at this point, and recorded the album with it, but Moore's tribute album 'Blues for Greeny' is an ABSOLUTE masterpiece of guitar work.....RIP to 2 of the greats, Peter Green(baum) and Gary Moore....you'll be missed
Someone was arguing in a thread here, that "soul" can not be perceived in playing. It is all just a matter of technique. I beg to differ, and THIS is my argument. Thank you.
Peter Green had a direct connection between his heart, head his fingers and a Higher Power. You can feel Peter's pain in this Duster Bennett song which was most likely written with Peter's help. Peter played on Dusters LP and was known for gifting songs to struggling artists. Peter was a better man than most with a zest to do his best to put as much positive karma in this world.
still love this duster Bennett classic done in this way by the best mac , remembering duster when he came to Melbourne back in 1975 for the blues.levis concerts series at the show grounds
What I liked about peter greens music is you can feel the pain in his singing and playing. Also, You can hear a lot of Gary Moore in there as well. Amazing talent. 👍👍
No one. Heard Peter only once- late '68- but heard all of 'em, basically: Albert, BB, Freddy, Jimi, Otis Rush, Mike Bloomfield....never did hear SRV through, and he's near the top.
Such a sad loss man he could play the blues and all the ups and downs in his life shame always be remembered rip pete hope you keep playing up there with all the greats 👍
Had he not gone down the road of ruin (drugs)we the public would have had a huge repertoire of his music sadly his career was short lived. This was my era as a teenager I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
That feel you just can’t be in this class with effort alone. It’s comes from deep pain sorry practice an just a natural born rhythm an knowing when your vocal has said just enough to give those notes the room to just bloom over it all an come back at you from the emotion an most of from the places your taught to hide from normal everyday life an find a way to say it in a way that it comes into another soul from a song an it’s all of sudden exceptionally excepted from they others hiding the same thing that never found there way to express there inner demons. I miss him an I miss Danny I’m in my 50’s now an I will never let this music pass I’ll just keep giving these songs to others an hope someone else takes it an gives it to so it’s really are job to give it to others.
I must have heard this several hundred times now but it just seems to get better Peter is a true star he plays from his soul subtle yet cutting he never played as good again as he did in this era brilliant
Pure blues..........Awesome...........RIP Peter Green...........first heard him with Mayall in 1960s.......He and Clapton were my favorite blues guitarists back then, along with Alvin Lee, Albert King and Buddy Guy.
I love his vocals. you can really feel it. Thanks for uploading this. this guitar riff is most likely the most over played riff in the history of the blues, but his singing to this riff, is one of the very best" in this riffs history. not to mention his unbelievable guitar playing.
How come 6 idiots did not like this? As well as a writer, Peter Green was the best natural Blues Guitar player of his generation. His voice and his "out of phase" Gibson guitar, made him outstanding in an era that had many great guitar players.
Peter Green what a legend a unique talent he made that tone all his own great to hear him at his early best in a band that were a great showcase for his unbelievable playing buts let not forget there were 2 other excellent guitarists in this band Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwin Both great string benders in their own right it's just they were eclipsed by the genius of Green.
Having lived in the SF bay area during the amazing 66-68 period, when some of the greatest music ever made was there, one of my favorite moments was seeing the true Fleetwood Mac for the first time. I knew Green's work with Mayall, as I did Clapton's before him, and he was every bit Eric's equal at that time. Blues knows no color, but Green is one of the hues that makes it up. Just heartbreaking guitar playing, and I say that as a guitarist for the past 43 years.
Oh Man!! Peter Green Was One Of My Most Favorite Blues Guitarists Ever!! I Just Loved The Work He Done With John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers & Fleetwood Mac!! This Is Just Fantastic & Brilliant!! 5 - Stars ***** !!!! - BigWillieWillHom :)
Sadly, though Greenie still lives, we won't hear this kind of greatness from him again, and haven't for four and a half decades. The acid took most of his mind and talent.
@@keithwanless206 no the acid did not, Schizophrenia did and Peter was born with the predisposition, the acid is disorienting and people with Schizophrenia are already disoriented. The disease is largely genetic but most people don't show symptoms until their mid Twenties. Peter showed symptoms well before the Munich trip its just that you have a bunch of clueless people jumping to conclusions and constructing myths out of ignorance
