UK in general returned a LOT of American Blues and Rock via a crapload of bad ass guitar players in all genres from rock to blues to Fusion (John McG s'cuse me?) to surfy Hank M to Vic Flick Bond theme to Frippy Dippy - for such a small area you guys shit out a LOT of great guitar players. Funny but a lot of the greats were born around the time you were getting bombed by Goering's boys....hmmmm, maybe that was the spice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 🎸💥
@@RManFlint I assume you are using population for your calculation. If we recalculate for land area and take population by square mile then UK is 772 and USA is 93. You do the maths, yes that right…maths. So “full stop” it is then. 😂😂😂
Green, Mick Taylor and a few others understood the beauty of space, harmony and being part of a band, complementing instead of always competing. British music at its best.
This is the best example of why you never do anything that can kill your soul. You are not the body you are the soul. This man had a connection with his that may be unmatched. Please never mistreat your soul even if you think you have no talent.
When poeple say Peter Green was not that great, I just shake my head and think, “if onlyyou knew”. No guitarist alive or dead moves me quite the same way.
Just sublime ! He knew so well just when to play slow, and then play fast. A reflex, like breathing to him. That`s what making music can do to a soul. Also love his middle solo on the April 9th. 1970, BBC "In Concert" show, to "The Green Manilishi", before he switches over to the 6 string bass. Never duplicated on other recordings.
This is why our Peter, that's OUR Peter the world over, not just England, is the supreme electric blues guitarist that ever blessed our lives. The one you'd want in your band, the one who maintained his humility all through his life, yet should have been knighted. Some are well practiced and brilliant, only the precious few rise above all with apparent ease, fly like the albatross over the sea. So for the listeners, here's proof enough. For the guitarists, make every note count, and remember Peter Green.
As a fan for 53 years I love the live Fleetwood Mac songs coming out. This version simply blows my mind. Peter shows his soul and pain with his guitar playing. I have no doubt that he is the greatest blues guitarist I ever heard, play on in heaven as you have on earth. RIP Peter
This is the perfect examples me to use when trying to explain the pure genius of Peter green. Power and gentleness, virtuosity with soul , team player and leader and a voice to break your heart. In a word “the blues”. He will always be my hero and he’s in my head whenever I pick up a guitar
It’s not tricky to play. You could learn this within a year of playing trust me. Peter had great emotion in his playing but it’s not technically hard you can get close to this. Jimi is different league so hard to play. Bleeding Heart intro blows my mind.
@@mattt2581 Ahem,Dya think Rory Gallagher should be included in your list mate.Hell fuckin yeah I do,what was I thinking.Greeny was genius, as was Rory, no question, period!!!!☘ .
Absolutely phenomenal, my favourite solo by anyone, ever, this is the pinnacle of guitar solos so far in human history, nothing can touch it, prove me wrong.
This has got to be my favorite blues number. Also, give Rainbow's live version of Catch the Rainbow from Munich '77 a listen. Would be interested to hear what you think about the solo.
Prove you wrong eh? Well here goes; there was... and there was... and don’t forget... No, you’re right, Greeny is pure magic. Been a fan since 1968. You have good taste, my friend.
Absolutely! Peter's tempo on this track is stunning and coupled with his raw but yet controlled vocals is a masterpiece, surpassing even Bb's rendition.
Just his Les Paul plugged into his Tube Amp, no effects, gimmicks. Just his two hands to get the sounds and tone. You can't teach that, you got to have it in you. He is the most underrated guitarist. The other Bluesbreaker in that category was Mick Taylor. The two of them never got the recognition that Clapton got. I never cared for popularity contests anyway. I'd listen to Peter or Mick over just about anyone. Even Gary Moore "RIP" Peter was his favorite.
@@gavalan3367 Peter Green had that tone that was spooky great, Mick Taylor had that tone and can not only play the Blues, he got jazzy and his slides and voicings was second to none.
A Man who had so many gifts, I don't think he himself knew how great he was as a song writer, guitarist, and Singer. His timing was spot on, and man what emotional playing. The World lost another great one to drugs, and bad management. Rest in Peace Peter, and know that the Music you left us will be here as long as there is Guitar players, and people who want to hear a great performance.
Just a brilliant video and so sad that 7 sad tossers gave it a thumbs down. Peter Green was the greatest blues guitarist of our time. RIP Peter, you are now up there with Danny and Gary.
So glad Mick got that tribute show together before Peter died. I hope he took the love with him. This song so perfectly demonstrates the other-worldliness of Peter's genius. Nobody else played and sang like this.
I liked all versions of this band for the same/different reasons. Always a Phoenix quality about them. Obviously Fleetwood and McVie were both persistent, subtle and dynamic throughout. Christine PerfectMcVie is perhaps the pivotal force? Beautiful, poetic, artistic, TALENTED, session savy, stable, even-handed, patient, eye of the storm. She first got credit only for her album cover art on Kiln House, yet she was a legitimate member of the band at that point. Only time I ever swung tickets to see them turned out it was a totally bogus band thrown together by greedy promoters after a brief, unfortunate implosion. Then , they played on, indeed! Great stuff!
@@howardquinn5911 IIRC, their manager, Cliff Davis, claimed he owned the name. Davis took the members of another band he managed, Curver Air, called them FM and took them on tour in America.
I had the good fortune to see Peter with the Mac on quite a few occasions. He is without doubt the best blues guitarist the UK has ever produced and I am sure that Eric, Jimmy and Jeff would endorse that as a fact.
This is Blues in the perfect tone , this amazing talent is given to no other man past or present and was held in Peters grasp for a few years and thats where it rested in these amazing recording's.
Peter Green certainly was a prodigious talent. Equal in all ways to the other guitarists that shot to fame out of the blues revival of mid to late 60's London. Clapton, Beck, Page, Taylor, and Greenie. They were the anointed ones, the future of British blues. I can't exclude Danny Kirwan, because he may actually have been Green's peer, if not in pure playing ability, then in inventiveness. I am glad that they have all made it into the pages of history and the kids can listen to what they did, when they were kids. Absolute genius.....
The Blues of Peter Green's hand and guitar carry a Lot a felling from the soul ,his creations were Masterpiece for the history that this musician left us, rest in peace 🎸
Как старому поклоннику Клэптона, мне приходиться осознать, что Питер, возможно лучше его, как по вокалу, так и по сольному исполнению на гитаре. Очень проникновенен!
As Peter says when introducing the song, he identified with its sentiments and that's why he wanted to play it to show how he was feeling; dark, troubled and desperately lonely. No one has or ever will perform this song better - to play the blues you gotta have lived em!
Shame he felt so alone so many loved his music and a lovely humble guy, You can feel his pain .....?Thanks Peter for the fantastic music just love it .
Another great live version of this B B King song. This is my all-time favourite PGFM song and each live version is different, showing how great a guitarist Peter was in his prime. This is the blues at its best.
this was an amazing show. the following band wound up getting busted on bourbon st. the mac sat right next to us as the nopd searched all the grateful dead's equipment while they were getting bailed out of jail. dead finally took the stage about 1-2am. the flock were the opening band. jeremy spencer was really fun to watch. amazing to have had the luck to have been there and experienced this ;)
You were in the divine presence (the only church that delivers the goods) Frank Zappa... said earlier by someone on this thread . To think I lived in that very London thru the 60’s and a few blocks from the Roundhouse . Chalk Farm was the little tube station where I dashed to work each day.. lI also.taught A levels all over North London to pay rent & feed two kids. All this in my early 20’s and the mad talent & beatlemania etc swirling around me. I came for Virginia wolf and stayed for howling wolf. Just a wild Canadian girl getting her wow levels.
This is just beyond words, it touches something deep inside your soul. It's so emotionally charged, as much of Peter's music is. No one comes close, he's one of a kind, the best, IMO💚🎶💓🎶💯💞💚
I love finding these truly ace songs done by my guitar heroes. Just wish I could play guitar . Nice to re-live my 60's youth again in my 60's Thanks BluzJam for posting this .
this is just amazing takes me to another pace. I wasn't lucky enough to see him in his prime ( born 1967) but got to see him with the splinter group all though Nigel Watson carried Peter through the concert there were moments when he came back and played like this truely amazing and I consider myself lucky to have seen the man live even though past his prime.
I do worry that Peter's guitar solo on this song could be the thing that ultimately kills me. I mean, I literally gasped hearing it just now. This solo is the sun exploding and the earth being scorched, and entire nations running into the oceans with their flesh burning, and there's only a small patch of uninhabitable desert left, so what's the point of breathing anymore? I've played it five times in a row, and now everything else sounds like the aural equivalent of those little rice cake things some people eat when they don't want to taste anything and are just trying to keep from starving to death.
Mr Greenbaum is underrated of course. For me the best guitarist-singer because it all came out of his soul and not just from skills-lessons and so on. Shame the BBC did not show any respect.
He's not making it a contest(after all there's only one winner in that) Danny was amazing, he really was. He felt it, he lived each note like Peter. Peter, was (I know past tense) a once in a lifetime talent, a talent so big that it's impossible to ignore in each and every Peter Greens FM discussion.
