What a man, I met him, rest in peace Peter
I found Peter Green about a year ago. And he quickly became one of if not my favorite guitarist. The best feel in music.
In 1967 I was a kid spending the summer in New York. Went to the club "the Scene" in Times Square and when Pink Floyd finished their set at 1am ( yes, Pink Floyd played clubs in the beguining) it was announced that Fleetwood Mac were going to play till they had to go to the airport and go back to England which ended up being 5 am. The stage was about 8' x 12' and 7 " high. With Pink Floyds gear still on stage Peter had to stand on the floor and I was sitting 6 feet away from him. It was my first brush with blues and its stuck with me for the last 63 years.
Wow, you saw Syd’s Floyd in their only East Coast performance! I’m envious. Do you remember anything about it?
Any particular tracks stand out?
My dear friend and blues Brother was Ron Thompson of Ron Thompson and his resistors. He was good friends with Mick Fleetwood. Many years ago Ron and Mick went to England. They got to hang out with Peter. And I think they even did some session work on Mick fleetwood's solo album called Africa. I miss all three of my favorite guitar players Peter Green, Ron Thompson, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Thank you for posting this for all of us out here that miss and love Peter Green. I even got to speak to BB King about Peter Green. Mr BB King said, he has a big heart and he is a super warm human being. I miss BB King too :-) God bless and stay well.
Saw Ron Thompson and the Resistors at Larry Blake's on telegraph ave in Berkeley. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Thank You. Peter Green is the only one in a class with Jimi Hendrix.
Huh? Not even close. Hendrix was way overrated.
Only people in a similar class with Greeny are his disciples Gary Moore and Snowy White.
@@GBCR what utter bollocks you talk
@@runandraisans6055
You obviously didn't get to see Hendrix live.

@@GBCR what a load of nonsense did you ever see hendrix live
My first John Mayall album was Hard Road. Peter Green the lead guitarist. Absolutely brilliant
that's a great album
Me too.
I was a British Blues and Mayall fan. But as soon as I heard The Supernatural, I knew my music world had changed. Just astonishing. As was Dust My Blues.
Then Play On is my favorite. But I confess, every time I listen to Kiln House, I like it more. Great that we can now stream both in hi-res.
This man and Danny Kirwan are two of the greatest legends in British music ! " Then Play on " has got some of the greatest guitar ideas/playing I´ve ever listened to in my whole life of listening to thousands of albums
agree. it's a jewel.
'Then Play On' is Green's (and Kirwan's) magnum opus. IMO, one of the top 4 albums of the 60's -- with Surrealistic Pillow, Jeff Beck's Truth, and Super Session.
And let's remember the greatest rhythm section in R&R -- McVie and Fleetwood.
@@HAL9007 Great tastes there ... I would personally add one of the greatest , most under rated albums of all time , 60s too ... it´s the " Easter Everywhere " album by the 13th Floor elevators . I´ve always seen that on a whole different level to everything pretty much .
So much incredible music out there to choose from , right ?
@@saraivatoledo1842 Wow, thanks for 13th Floor Elevators. Love them. It's a great time to be a music lover -- so much great music to be uncovered and discovered. Streaming algorithms are great. But nothing takes the place of someone's opinion whom you trust.
@@HAL9007 You´re welcome ! I also only discovered them sometime in the 90s ... but I was also pretty : " Wtf !!! Where has this music been hiding all this time ,- hahah . That is some next level stuff too if you´re into psychedelic rock music ... really weird dynamics as you get more used to the music too .
Glad you enjoyed it ! Cheers !
I met him,Peter 💚💚💚💚💚 Green a year ago.....fell in love with him right away ❤
Peter Green exhibits a direct connection between his hands, heart his fingers and a higher power. My first LP was "Then Play On" in 1969, since then I've been on a crusade to wake people up to the genius of Peter Green and much to my delight I convinced most that Peter was better than Clapton, Beck and Duane Allman who were the popular guitarist at the time in the Bronx, New York . Not only was he a genius on guitar he was a person who led a life I was impressed with and tried to emulate. RIP Peter Greenbaum
Dont forget Bloomfield
Fantastic interviews...loved Leo Sayer's contribution...I saw Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac three times in the 60's and also saw the Slinter Group once. 🎸🎸
SPlinter!
It’s so great that there’s so much love for Peter and it’s something we all share. His music has been a constant part of my life for well over fifty years.
Peter green and Danny kirwin both amazing guitarist who sadly no longer with us
glad someone mentioned danny kirwan 🙂
My dad back in the late 70s early 80s worked with peter green in a removal service
Drinking at the same boozer ? Do share :)
Leo Sayer knows his stuff, knowledgeable guy
Leo knows his shit! Spot on!
Leo Sayer-I never knew he was so knowledgeable-what great stuff
Excellent tribute by him. Wasn’t it? Cool
@@matthewstokes1608 yes his knowledge suprised me ...
Surprised me too! It was excellent and so fun to listen to. The passion. Great!
Leo knows his shit! Spot on!
@@panicandfreakout- mmmmmmm, a little more research on Leo required .
thank you very very much for REMEMBERING PETER GREEN !! great ! love peter green !
@liam firlej i Saw it !...Peter green is my greatest musical and spiritual influence.a great human being.it is not just music, there is something more and indefinable with peter green
How wonderful listening to Leo Sayers memories of Peter Green.
Leo knows his shit! Spot on!
In Uk Leo is still thought as a middle of the road singer, and from his repertoire a bit unhip, but he was into the blues and is knowledgeable about the time and people. He just never had the chance to perform what he enjoyed.
I was listening to the Blues Breakers and Fleetwood Mac, all the British stuff that was hitting the west coast of California. It helped me to discover the blues, which I’m still digging 50 something years later. Peter was a big influence on my early styles which I was copying.
Thank you. This was such an amazing interview segment
me too Peter had so much feel just as mike Bloomfield
early fleetwood mac with jeremy and danny were superb, always touched when someone remembers Peter green
thankyou for sharing this 🙂 x
but midge ure is a real turn off
1971 is when I first heard the Trash Can Dog L. P.
Not only was he brilliant but he was almost saintly and so humble. The man was a genius but unfortunately, found Munich drugs and then God. He was a very spiritual man. Have a listen to " Oh Well " or " Green Manalishi " and you'll see what I mean. What a man. RIP
If you listen to the Green Manalishi you can tell the man was looking for help...he was becoming really unwell, even Mick Fleetwood admitted that they should have realised what was happening to him and should have tried more to get him some help....a very sad story of an extremely talented musician who made a mistake when he was already unwell.✌️🏴
Wonderful
Brilliant video thank you all .
Thank you so much for this great tribute ❤
Well it all started for me around late 1969 when I purchased the early Fleetwood Mac album "The Pious Bird Of Good Omen" which featured Peter's originals Albatross and Black Magic Woman amongst others. Been a huge fan ever since and over the years I discovered the other early FMac albums. Saw the Peter Green Splinter Group at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne around 2002, his follow-up tour in 2010 at the Prince Bandroom, Melbourne and the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band featuring Rick Vito twice in Melbourne over the last 10 years. This is a wonderful insight into the man, his life and his music. Can't wait for the release of the Feb 2020 London tribute concert box set.
Same here, my mate's dad put pious bird....on my ipod. I was hooked
he came to my town in the mid eighties, awful.. not good at all.. 🙁
@@davidevans3227 ...he wasn't well...he wasn't even a fraction of what he was....I saw him when I was about 14 years old ...I've seen vast amount of bands, Led Zep, Floyd, Ozzie etc but even now I can remember Peter Green like it was yesterday and he was absolutely brilliant...no pulling faces and all that...he just smiled all the time .
R.I.P Peter Green you are a legend.✌️🏴
@@edwardmorford2202 thankyou, that's put a smile on my face.. 🙂
wrote that comment in the morning, and i'm always a grump in the morning..
it was such a shame.. but he gave us something great and memorable in the process..
sounds like you got some really good ones.. memories..
@@davidevans3227 Thanks for the reply David...and yes I've got many wonderful memories from the music business, especially the concerts that I was lucky enough to be able to attend..take care Mon Ami🙏✌️🏴
I saw him/them at the Whiskey in 1970. There is a double CD “Rattlesnake Guitar- A Tribute to Petter Green” which is very good for those who might be interested.
I was at that Bimbo's date in San Francisco that Pete Stroud mentioned. It was the first time I saw Peter. His touch was still there but not the fire. He didn't interact with Santana when he came out to play with Peter. The acoustic playing was lovely. Peter signed my ticket stub after the show. I saw Peter Green once more in about 2000. RIP Peter.
Hard Road is my favorite of the big 3 J. Mayal albums.
The riff of Oh Well is such a classic too
So wonderful you put this all together and everyone who contributed. Thank you!! 🌹🎸❤
What a brilliant tribute from a diverse group of great performers. Seeing Peter with the Splinter Group at the Corner Hotel is a highlight that is up there with the best. Well done to Greg Phillips and Australian Musician.
A fitting tribute to one of the all time greats who never really knew just how great he actually was. Rest in peace Peter Green 🙏🏼💚
Thank you for this so enjoyable and so good to know that there are real fans of Peter Green in Australia. When this Covid is beat and l can get to see my son in Brisbane would really like to see some of you people and reminisce about Peter. Leo Sayers contribution was nostalgic as l was a teenager in the sixties living in Brighton UK.
Still my favorite fleetwood mac.i've said it since their first release after buckingham nicks joined the line up they had become a larger version of buckinghsm nics and any whos heard the origanal buckingham nicks lp, mind you it was a very good lp has to know this, sorry
I did buy the new fleetwood mac and was happy with the sound but still i enjoyed the blues years much more.
Peter Green was an amazing guitarist but so was Danny Kirwan
What a great insight to a great musician of intestinal caliber and musical foresight! RIP, Maestro. 😥
That was great. A really nice tribute. Thanks very much.
Just saw and listened to this tribute. Wonderful! So interesting and fun and passionate. Thank you for an excellent job.
Whatever you do, please listen to Peter Barden's "The Answer" to enjoy more of Peter Green ...
Peter green is before my time. Although i listened to hendrix, the first time i heard peter green was on cloudy saturaday morning in 1981. Eddie van halen was being interviewed on radio. They were playing some of eddies favorite guitar tracks. Eddie said (hey you) by fleetwood mac. (i only knew stevie nick fleetwood mack) Eddie was saying how much he loved old fleetwood mac, and mentioned this guitar player. They played extended version 'hey you' and it was incredible to me. Beautiful. So simple. It killed me at that time. Today we can play that stuff in our sleep. Which is Good thing. Modern guitarist ichika, and tim henson are absolutely terrifying. And the 80s shredders like steve vai and paul gilbert are not so elite.
Danny Kirwan was my first musical love when I was 15. I'd love to hear stories of him as well..I know people have their opinions and ratings for guitar players but I feel Danny was every bit as talented at his young age and held his own with Peter. They complimented each other magically..I first heard Albatross but when I got the Kiln House, Future Games, an Bare trees albums I played them to the ground with my parents yelling " turn that down" LOL.
There’s Robert Johnson & Peter Green ...
imagine if PG would have died young very tragically I think he’d be much more appreciated by the masses .
Such a long struggle from a Burning Star flickering for decades ...... 💙
I was fortunate to meet Peter Green in 1997 ish Long Beach California and shake his hand ( I was one lucky teenager ). I recall his finger nails being very long & he looked confused when I thanked him & he retreated to his trailer not long after probably confused as to why such a brash young kid would even approach him.. Not many ( if any ) guitarists/ musicians have what Peter did ..
check out bb king
More Leo Sayer please.
Yes, we has the plastic Shadows, then we had heart and soul in the music. Thank you Peter Green.
LOVE THE CATS HAVEING A TUMBLE AT THE BACK LOL
Rest In Peace Peter green
and danny k

First, for anyone interested, a couple-plus years back John Mayall put out three albums of live Bluesbreakers tracks with the Peter Green/Mick Fleetwood/John McVie lineup. Titled 'Live in 1967', Vol. 1, 2 and 3, these were culled from bootleg recordings made at various gigs by a fan. Some of the tracks have appeared previously, though in this instance Mayall has 'cleaned up' them up and done an official release. Though far from audiophile in terms of sonic quality, the vibe is very much like the 'Diary of a Band' albums with Mick Taylor - real smoky pub/club scene stuff, which is great.

I am watching the video here again after listening to some of the Mac's live 'Boston Tea Party' 3-CD set today and seeing a program about Danny Kirwan. As much as everyone does their best to articulate their thoughts about Green, Leo Sayer's bit is defintiely the most captivating. Of course we are surprised that he of all people would have any familiarity with Peter Green, the Bluesbreakers and the British blues scene, but he most certainly does. An hour-long feature with him alone would be a delightful history lesson.
Also, a nod of approval to Shannon Bourne for his Scott Walker shirt. Walker was another quiet genius deserving much greater recognition.
Where did you see this program about Danny Kirwan? I would be most interested to know.
Thank you so much for this (you're almost forgiven for trying to claim the Gees are Aussies!)
Peter Green was never involved with the Children Of God and his nails were about 1-2 inches long not 10 inches! I know size isn't everything but Dennis Dunstan, of all people, should have his facts straight! A great presentation nonetheless. Very good stuff....
Very true and misleading. It was Jeremy Spencer in 1971 leaving the Fleetwood Mac for the Children of God. I played in 1973 with Jeremy
I've met the new Peter Green reincarnated.
He's a young guitarist living in Brisbane. He even looks like a young Peter Green.
And man can he play.
I'm on his case to get a band together.
But he won't.
Why?
Because he doesn't like the attitude of a lot musicians.
They're in it for the wrong reasons he'll say.
And I agree. I still encourage him to pick his own musicians and form his own band.
He could be or make his band the next big thing.
But he's not interested. And that's exactly why he is the right person lol.
But I don't push it too far. Like Peter Green he's a sensitive soul which adds to his feel and ability.
It's fun introducing him to bands and musicians he hasn't heard of.
It's fun introducing him to Wings of Pegasus, Rick Beato and Justin Hawkins' podcasts.
From The Small Faces to The Cult to Tim Buckley he absorbs it and more.
He has it all there. And yup he idolises Peter Green by playing Green as if he is Peter Green. It's so spooky. Yeah he can weave it around Clapton and Hendrix and Joe Bonamassa.
I gave him the Robert Johnson sessions by Eric Clapton and he has all that already there in his playing.
Roy Buchanan - no problem.
Such talent - probably best to keep him away from the magic mushrooms. The psychedelics are coming back into vogue with the younger generation. Probably because the likes of Joe Rogan keep promoting DMT etc.
Anyways any true Peter Green fans out there wondering if there will be another.
Well there is and he's here in Brisbane building bridges and playing guitar to himself.
Peace and love humans if you can find it
Btw is this the new BBC doco about Peter Green or is that only available on sweat shop Netflix?
The Green God Jumping at shadows and I loved another woman ! You will do well to hear better subtle blues ,infact you have to pull out the BB stuff to compete
thankyou!
little mention of the king..
jumping at shadows one of my favourites.
What agenius he was what a man what a kind humanbeing , 💚💚💚 mriracle , yes some know it ,but also he had no true friends , no matter what ist talked
Children who Rob!
Peter green was awesome but why dont people talk also about danny kirwan.
They do. There are videos here on YT.
Why do people want to question a tribute video to a person and bring up another person?
Because altho i love peter green i think the other guitarists in the band should get more recogition@@HappyHermitt
I’m suprised clapton didn’t play in the green tribute show
Great video just a shame that when these people decided that they should play they obviously shouldn’t have. Tainted the whole thing
Only one I had...
What's his legacy? Daft question.
I was shocked it was not 2019 when he died only last year ,lock down made it slow
Albatros is not as similar to Sleepwalk as a Chuck Berry instrumental 'Deep Feeling'.
It's almost a cover of that.
Fair comment but you can't really put Chuck Berry even remotely close to Peter as far as playing a guitar is concerned...
just found it here on UA-cam, i see what you mean lol..
very similar
@@edwardmorford2202 different animals altogether, but many top players attest to Chuck being thee most influential and impressive guitar players, until Jimi came along.
Then Jimi also loved him.
@@mahatmacote6478 Chuck was basically a power chord player...as far as blues guitarists prior to him you are putting him against the likes of BB King, Albert King, Buddy Guy etc and Chuck comes a long way behind. I understand how early he was in the Rock and Roll era and you've got to give him that, without a doubt, but as far as the guitar players of the time are concerned he was a good sort of rhythm guitarist and great entertainer but not a good guitarist...there were a vast amount of far superior guitarists at the time and believe me I'm not taking away what he did for R & R in any way or form.🙏✌️🏴
After midge, I thought the bloke on the right was harry secombe🤣😅😂
Where was Orianthi?
12.04
@@AustralianMusician Thanks
She didn't make a good job of the opening riff to Oh Well imo it was not clear, a tad too rushed & just sounded fuzzy
WTF is Midge Ure even speaking about Peter Green...
Dead Peter Green?
Great video but some facts are very wrong.
In 1973 I played with Jeremy Spencer and he was the one joining the Cult Children of God and NOT Peter Green! Peter Green already had a bad trip and left to England and Danny and Jeremy recorder a album in 1970 Jeremy Spencer left in 1971.
So the formeren manager is not right about the facts.
no
then play on not 1st album
Then Play On? First? Get a live.
Everybody loves a story. While I appreciate and enjoyed Leo Sayers and Rick de Vitos testimonies, I think former Manager Dennis Dunstan needs to correct his statements and seperate the truth from the lies. I think a lot of what he says is just not true at all. Get your facts straight and don't just utter some BS.
Wasn't it Jeremy Spencer who became ensnared with the Children of God? Did Peter Green actually send them millions of royalties for like 10 years?
@@williamwhitaker219 I don't think Green sent any money to that group. Why would he if he was never involved with them?
I remember from the day that it was Jeremy Spencer who joined the COG…it is especially vivid owing to the fact that I passed up a show coming up (five minutes from my home) because Peter had left the band. Irony kicked me in the ass when I heard that Peter had agreed to finish the tour or part of it without Spencer. It’s one one of my greatest regrets in a long life.
@@williamwhitaker219 doubtful. Why would he?
@@williamwhitaker219 why would he? I think its just BS.
This is just nonsense. Z listers and their 15 mins of fame on the back of PG
