Mick Fleetwood Talks Tribute to Peter Green | At Home and Social 

The original Fleetwood Mac's music is like stumbling into a hidden treasure vault! 👑💎

I love how Peter named it Fleetwood Mac, because "Guitarists always leave thier band" and he wanted Mick and John to be able to continue w the name.

Peter Green should get the recognition that Clapton, Page, and Beck get. I saw Peter Green's FM several times back in the sixties and they were the quintessential British Blues band. Still think Jeremy Spence, Danny Kirwin need to be recognized for their greatness.

I love that Mick is still so proud of his friendship with Peter Green and the extraordinary soul-stirring work that He, Peter, John, Jeremy and Danny crafted as young men. I'm so happy he made this concert happen, Peter Green and his music needs to be celebrated.

Peter Green was a talent beyond ALL the others. Listen to him - and you cannot argue with that. A beautiful soul. Beautiful music. Beautiful artist.

Fleetwood s a great guy, many people don’t pay their respects to their roots. Especially to green

Hats off to Mick for doing that great night for Peter

Love how that flame never died between Mick and Peter

Nice to see the picture from the Then Play On LP behind him.

Went to a number of Fleetwood Mac concerts in San Francisco in the 60’s, and was fortunate enough to sit in the front row of most of them. Experienced every talented group under the sun in those halcyon days, and Peter Green will always stand out for the haunting spell he cast on everyone in attendance….that incomparable, soulful voice, along with his genius on the guitar.

Peter Green , the best guitar player of the World, fantastic composer, singer, the King of blues, I love the original Fleetwood Mac, god bless you Mick ❤️

So great to see Mick as a senior English gentleman paying tribute to all those in his past. Love the painting in the background that was the Then Play On cover. Too cool

PETER GREEN GENIUS ABSOLUTE GENIUS R.I.P. THE MAGICAL PETER GREEN AND DANNY KIRWIN BLESS THEM AND THANK YOU MY FRIENDS.

Mick Fleetwood keeping the memory of Peter Green alive with love

Peter Green is one of the greatest guitarist ever

Peter Green really was someone and something rather special back in the day. I never bonded with the later incarnation of Fleetwood Mac. The music never spoke to me in the same way and there were too many heavily medicated egos flying around during that period, for my liking. I was always surprised that they chose to continue under the same name. Any legacy was very difficult to discern. A lot of fans, I'm sure, are quite unaware of the original incarnation.

To me, there has only ever been one Fleetwood Mac and that was the original one, begun by the wonderful Peter Green. I saw Peter play a few years ago and was so emotional I wept. Really wish I could have seen him play with Fleetwood Mac. One of the guitar greats.

Mick Fleetwood seems like quite a nice man. And a very thoughtul and sensitive one.

Santana modeled his entire guitar tone after Peter’s and people don’t seem to realize that either.

Peter Green is a legend, of course the whole band is legendary!

I know it’s rare that’s mick fleetwood will ever see my comment.I’m a huge fan of Fleetwood Mac.I love that you have the “then play on” art behind you!!!.

From England, London Blues scene , Jimmy page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton etc ...huge impact those guys made. Respect as an Englishman...to the Blues....

What an absolute gentleman you are Mr Fleetwood

Gary Moory, Rory Gallagher, Peter Green all gone. Makes me so sad. All these legendary blues guys not making music anymore. May they all rest in peace

One of the most soulful and heartfelt of tributes to a misunderstood genius of blues guitar.

I worked at the new Orleans Superdome and the Smoothie King Center. SEEN MANY CONCERTS. FLEETWOOD MAC was the best concert by far. Greatest CONCERT

Love love love the early Fleetwood Mac. Grew up on the Rumours-era band onward but I went back and started at the beginnings of the band and they are excellent!

He is so naturally wonderful

Peter Green was not only a fabulous musician but a great man with a big heart. For the people that we're touched by his humanity and lack of ego were happy to be part of the tribute concert and it does not surprise me that so many of his peers would show up to pay tribute to him as a man and as a musician I've been following early Fleetwood Mac since I was 13 and as Mick Fleetwood says that was 50 years ago, it's been a great ride and I continue to obsess over the music and guitar playing of what I believe to be the greatest white blues guitarist. Respects to all including Mick Fleetwood, Jeremy Spencer and Christine McVie (I am saddened that John McVie a friend and Band member of 55 years did not make the effort to be part of the tribute) for their efforts to show the impact that Peter Green made not only on the music end but in life in general. Peter always and continues to have a major impact on his fans who have never forgotteñ the kind leader of the original Fleetwood Mac. In the mid 60's Fleetwood Mac impacted the music that consumed Britain and consumed an era of american blues opening our eyes to the musicians that created the blues and opening the door for younger talent to add to the story of the blues and showcasing the talents of many musicians that dedicated their playing to continue the history of the blues. Thanks to all those famous and unknown for their crusade at keeping the blues alive.

I went to see Fleetwood Mac play maybe half a dozen times,and they never disappointed... First time would have been at the sundown in mile end,east London, about 1973 I would think.... Didn't realize just how privelaged I was to have seen them at that time of their career... And the following concerts would have been at Wembley and possibly the rainbow 🌈 etc... At the age of 21 I went to America...never having been abroad before,it was life changing.. While in new York I bought a copy of rumours, which I still have... Now my daughter plays the album to my granddaughter on the school run etc.. Music is a positive influence on us all. Congratulations to the band,past and present members alike

Love you Mick , Peter is so proud of you. Your first class Mick. 🙏😊❤️

There is only one Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac always puts on a Concert..Awesum band

Mick F does a good thing by remembering his old friend… and by lauding PG’s genius.

Nice interview and great remembrance of Peter Green

Saw one of the first shows at the Saville Theatre in 67, along with Mayall, Chicken Shack ( with Christine McVie ) and Aynsley Dunbar, it was a great show with Mick Taylor and Peter on the same bill !

Damn drugs and pushers . One of the greatest musical minds ever was Peter Green , he was SUPERNATURAL

I did a hit of acid and Fleetwood Mac was playing on an old 1960's album. I thought they were around in the 70's. I didn't know they had been around that long. And, then came Stevie Nicks. And Lindsay Buckingham.

Fabulous to see Kirk Hammett perform Green Manalishi with ‘Greeny’.

All incarnations of Fleetwood Mac helps me with this Covid isolation. Saw their concert at Moda in 2018...AMAZING 💕💕💞💖

Great to hear from Mick! Such an ordeal listening to this lady though. Her voice is like getting a rusty nail jammed into your ear

Thanks for the concert in Victoria BC Canada Mick I was there it was a great show!

Hi Katie,another great show. I've been a long time Fleetwood Mac fan so many thanks for keeping Mick talking. With all the different guests you interview you must have some great stories to tell. Keep up the good work.

That then play on portrait....HUGE

Mick...you are one of the BEST DRUMMERS I've ever heard...saw your performance in Tacoma...could've stood up and danced around the fire 🔥 all night long...Thank You

Wow I'm a big fan of the early Fleetwood but I didn't know that Peter Green wrote Black Magic Woman...How cool is that !

Mick should write a book with all his music history. He was there through some magical times in the greatest years of rock music.

Hi Katie, This was the first show interview I've watched you do and it was a smashing success. I love Mick Fleetwood and FleetwoodMac, enjoyed learning about their early years which I had no clue about. As expected, the time just flew by and that is a double-credit to you and Mick's interview fluidity. Thanks much for doing it and I will watch for more episodes of your show now.

Can you remember him ... open mouth sweater vest .. young like the new morning . what an accomplished wonderful musician and gentleman :)🌻

Un Aplauso para ti Mick de toda una vida en la Música 1967-2021., y mas mucho mas, hasta donde se pueda.

Thanks Mick!

Well Mick, i'm sure you know that there a lot of, strike that- an Army of Musicians, out here who continue to gain inspiration and happiness from in particular, Peter Green, but also the whole history of Fleetwood Mac. And i understand how you stand, thank you very much for the combination of roles that you have played along with all the other players in Fleetwood Mac. Immediately Christine's recent death comes to mind, despite the fact that she had not passed at the time of this video. BTW, my favorite perter green songs: Oh Well, pts 1&2; The Green Manalishi, Albatross, Rattle Snake Shake, Black Magic Woman. i listened to FM Live from the record plant, 1974 this morniing. this version of Christine's song, "Why" is wonderful, along with other great players and i appreciate you including the playing of a lead guitar player who will not be named. But that can sometimes be the way of the passing of history.

The voice is unique the energy too

good to see mick. sad peter passed away.

What a peach of a YT recommendation !

Thank You Mick . Will anybody remember PG 50 years from now? Does not matter.. Just glad to think about PG everyday.

I had Fleetwood Macs Complete Blue Horizon Box Set a number of years back. It had their studio pieces , plus the 5th disc had out takes if I remember correctly. The 5th had Peter playing the blues , and I would listen to that more than anything . So impressive. I bought it back then for $19.99 , and now to replace it cost anywhere from $50 used, to over $100 BNIB . I would like to add that that Box Set is why I became a huge fan of Mick Fleetwod as a drummer. What makes some of Fleetwood Mac's so memorable ? Think of it , it's Mick's beats , along with those bass lines. One comes to mind and it's from Tusk . See , you've already thought of it.

I listen to the “Rumours” version of Mac about once every two years. That’s plenty. I listen to the Peter Green version every month multipe times. The first is smart pop whereas the second transcends the genre and is truly magical. Thank you Peter, Danny and Mick. Mac’s Black Magic Woman is so much better than Santana’s.Better guitar, infinitely better singing, better percussion. It is one of the best blues songs ever recorded.

I grew up in the days when rumoers was the album and stevie, Christe, mick fleet wood, and were then Fleetwood mac +lindesy Then. when i seen a video of peter green in the band before lindsey and stevie playing the guitar and the songs he wrote absolutely fasinated me he was a man of genius and my favourite Albertrass ;O Well; Man Of The World; Need Your Love and other songs that are where and will be songs not forgotten and to me brilliant👍Rest in peace Peter.🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🕊🦋.AMEN🙏🎸🌹🕊🦋

Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Mick Fleetwood,John McVie,Christine McVie,Danny Kirwin,Bob Welch. Really Good shit pre-commercial FWM.

And in te background the painting on the cover of Then Play On. Before superstardom, Fleetwood Mac were a respected blues rock outfit. They were also noted for having lead guitar players who went a bit bonkers: Jeremy Spencer and Peter Green. 1969’s Then Play On was the finest album of the Peter Green era. It also has a swell cover, that’s described as follows in the LP’s Wikipedia entry: The painting used for the cover of the album is “Domesticated Mural Painting”, by the English artist Maxwell Armfield.[6] It was featured in the February 1917 edition of The Countryside magazine, which states that the mural was originally designed for the dining room of a London mansion".

Im a drummer ..he is. rock solid ..with the fancy fill ...in the correct timing of feel ..it works ..

Peter Green and Danny Kirwan were the two musical geniuses in FM. The others were good too.

He had no ego! LOL possibly the most egoless musician ever. So many great songs post FM. So many So many. In the sky's. Kolors. Little Dreamers. RIP Danny Kirwan.

You need to realize the similarities of Peter Greene and Syd Barrett ! Both of them suffered for the music and launched their vision of the true music felt in their heart, it's incredibly unknown how much influence that they had over modern music !

When I saw Fleetwood Mac the first time, it was àt a Warehouse, I was blown away by the fu*ckin Drummer, and the Bass player, they were Together, I saw them Later and they were together, they were good when they picked up on Peter's sôñg s, jùs såyîn, well anyway I guess I'm saying that Mick and John are always Phenomenal, jùs sàyin ¡♥️😎♥️¡

ty katie

Amen Corner ...should be remembered ...think I spelt his name right, he was a massive input to the Blues London scene .....

Time stands still for Mick judging by the clock behind him...

Prior to Fleetwood Mac Peter Green performed on one of the greatest British blues albums, John Mayall's Hard Road

Future games and bare trees albums are completely forgotten, 1971-1972 both released, Danny kirwan, again completely forgotten, he was the main man during that era..... Listen to sands of time and Dust, sometimes, and bare trees, excellent tracks....

Then play on painting behind Mick.

A couple things: - The painting on the wall is the cover of the 'Then Play On' album Mr. Fleetwood mentions. - Though he and John McVie were together with Green in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Mick did not play on 'The Supernatural'. That is on the 'Hard Road' album, which was recorded prior to Fleetwood joining and had Aynsley Dunbar (Jeff Beck, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Journey, Starship, Whitesnake...) drumming. I realise he didn't get specific so as to keep the story line simple, but for those interested in the facts, that is what happened. Mick would use the same type of drumming on early Fleetwood Mac's biggest 'Albatross' as Dunbar did on 'The Supernatural' - tympani mallets on toms. - To put Green in context for those unfamiliar, when Eric Clapton left John Mayall to form Cream, Peter Green took his place in the Bluesbreakers (Green had filled in for several gigs the previous year). When Green quit to form Fleetwood Mac, a teenaged Mick Taylor was enlisted, doing three studio albums prior to Mayall dissolving his electric band and recommending Taylor to Mick Jagger as the one to fill Brian Jones vacated spot in the Stones. - Prior to the Bluesbreakers Green and Fleetwood were together in Peter Bardens' band Peter B's Looners, which also included bassist Dave Ambrose (Jeff Beck, Julie Driscoll/Brian Auger & the Trinity) and keyboardist Bardens (Them, Camel, Van Morrison). - Listen to Fleetwood Mac's 'Black Magic Woman', then listen to Peter B's Looners version of 'Soul Dressing'. They are like the raw beginnings of Santana's version of 'Black Magic Woman', though Santana already had the latin thing happening and likely never hears the Looners' version of 'Soul Dressing' (though possibly heard Booker T. & the MG's version). - Green is considered by those in the know as Britain's greatest blues guitarist. And like Carlos Santana, he was greatly influenced by BB King. Though they both styled their playing after King's, early Carlos was also audibly influenced by Green. Listen to Green on 'The Supernatural' and you might think you are listening to Santana. - It is nice that Mick mentions Christine McVie. Though most fans of the Mac know her only from that band (she had helped out on early band recordings including doing the cover art for their 'Kiln House' album before joining for 'Bare Trees'), she was a star in the UK thanks to success with blues band Chicken Shack, with whom she had a hit with the Etta James classic 'I'd Rather Go Blind', a tune she also included on her debut solo album way back then. Her recent passing from this life was such a shock. She was the band's not-so-secret weapon...a real gem who was loved and is missed by so many, including Mr. Fleetwood.

the picture on the all behind mick ...i believe is from there albim ..then play on...very similiar

The greatest English guitar player of all time ... comparing Green with others seems absurd even.

15:06 for whoever wants to make a funny Mick Fleetwood silent reaction GIF (when the host suggests Fleetwood Mac's later output appears on a "Top 10 Break-Up Songs of the 80s" playlist.)

I have no use for any iteration of FM without Peter Green, Danny Kirwin or Jeremy Spencer in the lineup.

PG loved fishing and fish. I think this really helped his head and bought him out of his funk and allowed him to Play On. He beat his demons.

Fleetwwod Mac with Peter Green the best blues band ever exist. I have a suggestion for Mick Fleetwood to make a reunion with Jeremy Spencer, John Mc Vie and Rick Vito and make another celebration of Peter Green. The fans would like to be happy again. Of coursemany other good singers are welcome.

Peter Green was Grreat! Sorry to hear about your Restaurant in Hawaii! Sad that Oprah, and the Rock just didn't make an offer to buy it. They could afford it!

Fleetwod Mac was only the one with Peter Greenbaum !

Yes I agree early FM was way better than the disco thumping version.

Peter was also a great blues singer.

like to have the picture behind Mick

How about putting Peter's son Liam Firlej on the show, so he can discuss the infamous Munich Acid Trip with Mick Fleetwood? You would blow the roof off the World of Rock. Liam has some very good questions to ask Mick and John. Is Mick the Green Manaleshi?

Peter Green was great, only 2nd to Jimi Hendrix. I saw Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac in Stockholm May 1968.Lost my focus on the Macs after Peter Green, Danny Kirwin and Jeremy Spencer had left. They were still a great band... Mick Fleetwood I liked already when he was in John Mayalls band.

How come we never hear much about the album kiln house. My favorite record of all time. I know peter wasn't involved in that one.

I remember Sue Marchant mentioned only a few years back that Peter Green did a gig at The Secret Garden venue in Cambs. He was spotted in Norwich a few years ago as he lived near to Great Yarmouth in his latter years .. I always play Man Of The World and Green Manalishi. I like this English attitude and roots, much better before they became Americanised imo

Green was the best in the late 60s, and most people knew it. His demise as an artist remains a significant loss to music lovers.

There are two Fleetwood mac`s. Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac was first, Disco Mac came later.

Black Magic Woman was influenced a lot by Otis Rush, the CHicago blues guitarist, that probably hardly anyone will give credit to

Santana never played Margate, but I think he understands the U.K!

Any of the Peter Green Tribute Concert profits go to charity? I haven't heard. Now that would be a real tribute to Peter Green. Give all the money to the needy. It's why he left the band and the music industry. "Green Manaleshi" says it all.

supergroup idea....mick...pete townsend...pino palladino....richard thompson...name? six foot

13:32

RIP Jeff Beck

Hi Say Hi To John Mcvie

Hey Mick better get your wall clock fixed. I never knew Black Magic Woman was a Peter Green written song.

Someone ask Mick to do a tribute to Danny Kirwan

"I know this guy, his name is Mick Now MIck don't care if he ain't got no chicks He do the shake.... Peter was calling Mick Fleetwood a w*nker!
