Peter Green lifted Fleetwood Mac to a whole new level which they never achieved again. He brought a rare visceral raw spiritual honesty to the band and we should be all feel blessed that he graced the rock n roll world with his stellar talent.
Absolutely! 🙌 I personally think he was the BEST blues guitarist Britain ever produced (yes, I think Peter was a better blues guitarist than Eric Clapton).
BB King said Peter Green was the only one who gave him the cold chills, and that's good enough for me. I'm old enough to remember Fleetwood Mac playing Albatross on Top of the Pops.
@@jeremybennoch4338 No, Peter was not a member of The Yardbirds. The only band that both Eric Clapton and Peter Green played in (at different times though) was John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Eric Clapton joined the Bluesbreakers after he quit The Yardbirds, and when Clapton quit the Bluesbreakers, Peter was his replacement. The iconic Yardbirds guitarist trio was Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page-Peter Green was NEVER in The Yardbirds, nor did he ever play on any of their songs.
Peter Green has passed. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. The first time I heard this it was the Judas Priest cover and I thought it was great. Then I heard Peter Green playing it and the song took on a whole new life. I really love this song and am grateful Peter Green wrote something so ethereal for us to enjoy.
Peter Green will always be my number one source of musical inspiration. What a talent, and what a gift to us. Rest in peace, dear Peter. And thank you.
I'm the exact same. Was my all time favorite Priest song as a teen. Then I head the Fleetwood Mac version, and you know, I thought it was totally different, but equally great!
The raw feel and emotion that Peter Green put into it cannot be duplicated by anyone. This song was crushingly heavy by 60's standards and is still much heavier than the Judas Priest cover. I love Priest's version of this song and they can usually elevate any song they cover to make it better but they failed to do that in this instance. Peter Green cannot be replaced or topped.
I saw these guys live in 1969, Houston TX. Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwin. The original FW. Awesome blues band!
My generation that were teenagers in the late 60's, early 70's with having all these great bands and musicians with the calibre of Peter Green. Boy were we the lucky generation. And no ugly technology or CCTV eirher. It was total freedom 🤗🎸🌃
THE ORIGINAL FLEETWOD MAC ... AT ITS BEST !!! PETER GREEN Guitar & Vocals DANNY KIRKWAN Guitar JEREMY SPENCER Guitar JOHN McVIE Bass MICK FLEETWOOD Drums ... WHAT A BAND !!!
I saw them performing this live at the Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne Switzerland in very early February or March in 1970; to a half empty luxurious hall. The audience had been seated according to the price of our payed entry ticket but upon the realization that most of seats had remained empty because of that fact Peter Green decided to allow the whole crowd to ignore the ‘rules of the house’ and to chooze to sit wherever they wished ; needless to say the whole crowd moved up close to the performing band and in this way communicated their affection and appreciation of the group. Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green gave that night one of the best rendition of “the green Manalishi” ever; I shall never forget!
Love this! The early days of discovering our rock n roll music, bands and concertgoing. When we were all- musicians and fans- making up the rules as we saw it should be 😎
That is a great experience wish I could have seen that show myself Peter Green in the early Fleetwood Mac were just so good and then everything all went to hell but I do give Bob Welsh a lot of credit for keeping the band afloat and alive he did a great job but when Bob left that's when I stopped listening to Fleetwood Mac and I still hold true to that today
In the space of a couple of years, you got Black Magic Woman, Albatross, Man of the World, Need your love so bad, Oh well 1 and 2 and this. All timeless brilliance, Peter and Danny RIP to both
I wish Peter had never gone to Munich and took that L.S.D. it spoiled a great, great , enormous talented genius who knows what he could have achieved in his career what a tragedy it was for him and all of us fans. R.I.P. THE GREAT PETER GREEN.
Three brilliant British blues-rock guitarists unselfishly and seamlessly sharing lead and vocals - no prima donna egos - even from the generous incomparable Peter Green
Underrated?No way! If BB King writes the foreword in your biography, you are on Mt Olympus, in the Pantheon, up there with all the Becks,Breaus,Pass,Hendrix, etc…..
This is probably the darkest a rock song has ever got ...glad I´m not alone in sensing this. To most people it´s just some notes with some guy made "crazy " (lol ) by having toured with The Grateful Dead and all that circunstancial bs ...
@@mikemclean676 Those themes ...and given room for deeper interpretations ...also it´s got this dreamlike quality to it which no song ,imho ,has ever ,before or after ,captured, ...a very unique song ,inspired song basically. I´m not 100% sure now if this was the last thing he created for Fleetwood Mac ,but if it was ...what a way to go.
Hell yeah, Priest performs it very well too. How do you like Diamonds and Rust by them ? Man, getting old I can see that I started to look like a vampire like them. Body becoming garbage but thanks that soul remaining still young listening to these great guys...
Yes, this version is so much better. Despite the fact that Priest is an actual heavy metal band, this version is so much heavier. The Peter Green era is my favorite era of Fleetwood Mac.
This is an absolutely stunning song - full of atmosphere and passion, and brilliant playing. The later FM weren’t a patch on this lineup - without Peter Green, how could they be?
I wouldn’t say that . Just a different version with Christine M , Stevie. And Lindsay but still they did some pioneering of their own between the pop hits . Think Tusk with USC Trojan band
@@zeuhltube "Child of Mine" off BareTrees and "Jewel Eyed Judy" off Kiln House. "Station Man" too. They way they put pretty melodies together with powerful guitar was unique, there never was anything else quite like it. And it ages rather well.
Love ❤️ Peter Greens voice and guitar 🎸 playing it’s everything! I’m 71 and been listening/ playing this all my life and never tire of it. It still Rocks !!
I'm nearly 70, and remember the first time it was played on the radio in my parents home. You'd have thought the devil had made a personal appearance at Sunday dinner. I loved it, but was a solo thing.
Three minutes in and Green gives a master class,his tone brings tears,so much soul.For me he was and still is the greatest British blues player EVER...forget Clapton(although i love his stuff) Peter is the man.
BB King once said, of all the White Blues players, P. Green was the only one that gave him "cold sweats..." Clapton was great, but no-one had such soulful intensity as P.Green. . . and not a single wasted note.
Unfortunately they both went the same way. Tanked in the early seventies because of drugs. Neither of them were ever the same. Danny and Jeremy too actually. It happened to many. Kossoff. More and more names come to me. Don't do drugs.
I guess Peter Green is just another criminally, absurdly, underated guitarist in the Rock and Roll of Fame since 1998. It's more accurate to say he wasn't a household name, just like many other great guitarists who are called " underrated " in the UA-cam pantheon of rating experts.

Better management . Great music in United States. But they were being used by the music industry. Bands played record companies got rich, musicians got checks.. in UK. Bands got famous. Played, made records, got rich. Record companies got checks. All management
He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen or heard. I wish I could go back in time and stop him going to that house in Munich. We lost the most talented musician the world has ever seen.
Siân Ishmael the munich party didn’t wreck him. he was just mentally ill. danny kirwan, interestingly, was arguably even worse off than green, and yet there’s not much mention of him.
Steve Davis .... The Munich incident didn’t help him or Kirwan. Mick, Jeremy and John all agreed that whatever they took sent them both deeper into loopyville. That entire story of the Munich entities is trippy, their ties to Beider Meinhoff etc. no matter what, Greeny and Kirwan would have been much better off not frying what little grey matter they had left.
You are looking at a recording less than 10 days after the Munich party. Peter walked away from that party fine. He just exposed the rest of the band, and they were scared.
They were both the proper Fleetwood Mac just different. Let’s not forget that both Green and Spenser spaced out and were basically gone. Things run their course and things change… simple as. I was a huge Green Fleetwood Mac fan, saw them live at various pubs back in the day and actually sat next to Green at breakfast at my tour managers apartment in the 80’s. I didn’t recognize him until we were introduced, a shadow of his former self, almost an empty shell. The continuation of the original Mac would have been impossible after those bloody German idiots screwed Green up.
What friggin nonsense you talk. Rumours and the eponymous album are great. Blues bands had had their day by 1974 and Mick et al realised this. The tedious coda here reflects that reality.
@@TrevorBarre hey buddy! You should regulate your tone. Nobody is questioning your opinion but some people think differently. The aggression is a little unnecessary, especially when talking about the music we love. This ain’t football!
@@richardjohnson7379He said he's “the only living guitarist to make me sweat" and that he had "the sweetest tone I've ever heard.” That's a compliment of his playing.
When I was a teenager back in the 80s I showed interest in learning to play guitar. The first person who gave me advice was a worker in the local youth club. He happened to be a childhood friend of the great man himself and turned us on to his playing saying that you need look no further for feel technique and tone and he was 100% right. Peter was just starting to get help with his personal issues at the time and stan took a couple of us to meet him. Being so young I didn't fully appreciate the significance or opportunity of the meeting and I remember him playing a little bit but he had a thing about cutting his finger nails and that they were so long it hindered his playing but what really did stay with me was his warm and gentle nature a really lovely soul got the feeling that he felt he wasn't worthy of his own talent but of course I could be way off
WELL DUH! This was the REAL Fleetwood Mac. Not that bubble gum fucking garbage with that trench Stinky Nix. When she "sings" she sounds like Kate Hepburn having a stroke. HAH ha
How have you reached the conclusion that he was under rated! That is so far from the reality which is that he was recognised by his peers as one of the greatest exponents of the blues and rock guitar
Brilliant song by a brilliant guitar player. This was the beginning of the end for the original and only FM. First Peter, then Jeremy, then Danny all had their issues and left. I believe this was the first group to feature 3 guitarists.
@@heaven-is-real ive read its the green dog "manalishi" that ask him to stop getting fame and giving away all his wealth and instrument. This is all the drug fault, it fucks with his mind big time..
@@uzumaki6759 @hr 777 . A great oversimplification. Indeed, there were and are many for whom psychedelics could trigger (possibly already latent) schizophrenia or other mental instability. This is why various indigenous cultures used them only cautiously and under the guidance of a respected , knowledgeable 'elder'. They were never intended and are ill-suited for mere recreation/ partying. And even less-so for those who may be vulnerable (because of genetics or other factors) to mental instability.
A rhythm section? You’re sorely mistaken. Listen to the entire video of Fleetwood Mac’s performance of “I’ve Got A Mind To Give Up Living/All Over Again” and tell me that that sounds like a rhythm section! 😂 You’re basing your entire judgement on one performance out of the MANY performances that have been recorded during the Peter Green era of Fleetwood Mac.
Listen to any of their live performances of “Black Magic Woman” (which was written by Peter Green and originally done by Fleetwood Mac, not Santana-although Santana took it and ran with it like a champ! 🙌) during the Peter Green era as well
One of the BEST songs ever recorded although Oh Well is also a great classic..Fantastic guitar playing by Peter and then the lyrics! You can already hear his next step was the asylum for the mentally insane.Yes, it´s sooooo good!!!!!
Peter, everytime I hear you play I cry like a baby, this doesn't happen with all the other great players I love. May you rest in peace legend, I love you. Did I told you that the Green Manalishi is my fave song ever? Thank you!!!
I think this is one of the highlights of popular music. The hauting and creepy atmosphere in the FM version is lost in all the cover versions I have heard until now. That is why I think the original is still the best. Danny and Peter really rocked.
Greeny as it best!!! I really love Peter Greens songs- They are so unique, and bringing me down immediatly. Maybe its only the sweet tone thing…. For me its magic….. RIP Peter, I miss you.
Peter Green will always be my number one source of musical inspiration. What a talent, and what a gift to us. Rest in peace, dear Peter. And, thank you.
I am 56 years old I’ve been playing the Judas Priest version of that song forever I did not even know that the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Greene even wrote that song! It is so much classier than the Judas Priest version I am thoroughly impressed! Of course nothing against Judas Priest!
Powerful tube amps, raw lyrics and live, one take, no wonder why Peter made so much money, what an artistic performance, never to be duplicated by current acts on prime time tv ever again, at that time you actually had to be talented to get recognized.
Ironically enough, Peter left the band because the rest of the band refused to give away their money like he was doing. This song (The Green Manalishi) is actually about an LSD-induced nightmare Peter had of a green dog with horns that relentlessly barked at him and attacked him. In his nightmare the dog symbolized the evils of money, and from that time forward, Peter wanted NOTHING to do with any money that seemed more than enough for him to survive on. Ofc a lot of his reasoning for doing some of the odd things that he did (he pulled a gun out on a guy who was trying to deliver a royalty check to him in 1977) were due to delusions and auditory hallucinations that were a part of Schizophrenia (which he was diagnosed with). Excess drug use, stress, and random genetic susceptibility will get you that (“that” as in the development of a lifelong psychotic disorder).
Sometimes you hear a guitarist play so emotionally and heart-wrenching you feel like they could completely control you if they wanted to. Peter was one of those guys for me
The greatest Mac line up doing their greatest song, brilliant. Imagine how great this band would have become if Green, Kirwan and Spencer hadn't been got at.
What I remember from this era is that Fleetwood Mac was Peter Green(the soul), Mick Fleetwood and John McVie(the rhythm) accompanied by Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan on guitars. They were and still are a great band.
This song is scary and I'm a grownup. I think that's how they made it to be , and the percussion suits it so nicely, they were all on the same wavelength almost like as one. Intense.
I think people forget or don’t know about the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green , they were bloody awesome!!!
Peter Green lifted Fleetwood Mac to a whole new level which they never achieved again. He brought a rare visceral raw spiritual honesty to the band and we should be all feel blessed that he graced the rock n roll world with his stellar talent.
David Thompson - It was his band..
Right on. What a player!

Phaedra Collins fantastic years i was 17 in 1970 lived through a fabulous era...😉
@@Falco45able Yeah..it was great to be young then.
Agree.. I always say this.
Me too M8.
May, 1954 :)
Rtpgreen GOD............i. cried when I was told about his passing
No body can play this great song like Fleetwood Mac the late greats Peter Green @ Danny Irwin BLESS THEM BOTH AND THANK YOU BOTH.
This song was symbolic of the magic and mystery around at this time for those in the know.
When I was a teenager back in the 80s I showed interest in learning to play guitar. The first person who gave me advice was a worker in the local youth club. He happened to be a childhood friend of the great man himself and turned us on to his playing saying that you need look no further for feel technique and tone and he was 100% right. Peter was just starting to get help with his personal issues at the time and stan took a couple of us to meet him. Being so young I didn't fully appreciate the significance or opportunity of the meeting and I remember him playing a little bit but he had a thing about cutting his finger nails and that they were so long it hindered his playing but what really did stay with me was his warm and gentle nature a really lovely soul got the feeling that he felt he wasn't worthy of his own talent but of course I could be way off
Creep show
So incredible to see Danny and Peter jamming here. Many thanks!
Rumours has it that this was the best Fleetwood Mac line-up ever.
thats not rumours, thats true after green left , all go down hill ( pop music)
WELL DUH! This was the REAL Fleetwood Mac. Not that bubble gum fucking garbage with that trench Stinky Nix. When she "sings" she sounds like Kate Hepburn having a stroke. HAH ha
That’s a top shelf pun
jaycockah Appreciate that!
@@jaycockah it really is
The best of all versions of 'Fleetwood Mac'
This is one of Mac's greatest ever songs and I'm sad to hear Peter Green has died Yet another great legend gone too soon!
RIP PETER GREEN!!! one of the best musicians to walk the earth

People tend to forget what Jeremy Spencer added to the band he was just as an important member as the rest. The band was a complete unit music wise.
RIP Peter Green, one of the greats, and the guy who almost made Fleetwood Mac a doom band.
Please explain
_the night is so black that the darkness cooks_
Played a combination of Rock, Blues, all with great lyrics and by a great Band. Peter Green very underrated sadly missed, musician! .
How have you reached the conclusion that he was under rated! That is so far from the reality which is that he was recognised by his peers as one of the greatest exponents of the blues and rock guitar
This is rock at it's very best. Peter Green was without doubt a rock superstar!
RIP to The Green God and Danny!
Brilliant song by a brilliant guitar player. This was the beginning of the end for the original and only FM. First Peter, then Jeremy, then Danny all had their issues and left. I believe this was the first group to feature 3 guitarists.
Jeremy is still with us! Isn’t he?
Not sure if you meant passed, apologies if you didn’t 👍
The greatest lead guitarist. The greatest rhythm section in all of R&R. The greatest 2nd and 3rd guitarists ever. Just magic. RIP, Greeny.
too bad he let what he thought were his oh so cool party friends permanently screw up his brain for the rest of his life
@@heaven-is-real ive read its the green dog "manalishi" that ask him to stop getting fame and giving away all his wealth and instrument. This is all the drug fault, it fucks with his mind big time..
@@uzumaki6759 agreed it totally destroyed it, permanent damage (evil stuff going on there)
@@uzumaki6759 @hr 777 . A great oversimplification. Indeed, there were and are many for whom psychedelics could trigger (possibly already latent) schizophrenia or other mental instability. This is why various indigenous cultures used them only cautiously and under the guidance of a respected , knowledgeable 'elder'. They were never intended and are ill-suited for mere recreation/ partying. And even less-so for those who may be vulnerable (because of genetics or other factors) to mental instability.
@rogerhoffmann620I collect old national geographic as well sn
Small world ain't it?
Watching this I realize " Fleetwood Mac " isn't a band it's a great rhythm section with various line ups and eras. What a ride for Mick and John.
A rhythm section? You’re sorely mistaken. Listen to the entire video of Fleetwood Mac’s performance of “I’ve Got A Mind To Give Up Living/All Over Again” and tell me that that sounds like a rhythm section! 😂 You’re basing your entire judgement on one performance out of the MANY performances that have been recorded during the Peter Green era of Fleetwood Mac.
Listen to any of their live performances of “Black Magic Woman” (which was written by Peter Green and originally done by Fleetwood Mac, not Santana-although Santana took it and ran with it like a champ! 🙌) during the Peter Green era as well
One of the BEST songs ever recorded although Oh Well is also a great classic..Fantastic guitar playing by Peter and then the lyrics! You can already hear his next step was the asylum for the mentally insane.Yes, it´s sooooo good!!!!!
your not wrong there.
cutie fan
cutie fan
cutie fan oh well will be played at my funeral. all of it. nothing else.
dueling guitars with Danny Kirwan
Oh for those days when Fleetwood Mac were a proper band great track
Just incredible ! Puts hairs up on my neck ! Brilliant guitarist has stood the test of time !! Still sounds awesome
Peter, everytime I hear you play I cry like a baby, this doesn't happen with all the other great players I love. May you rest in peace legend, I love you. Did I told you that the Green Manalishi is my fave song ever? Thank you!!!
ONE OF THE BEST ON THIS PLANET----R I BLUES P
I think this is one of the highlights of popular music. The hauting and creepy atmosphere in the FM version is lost in all the cover versions I have heard until now. That is why I think the original is still the best. Danny and Peter really rocked.
All five of them rocked.
Greeny as it best!!! I really love Peter Greens songs- They are so unique, and bringing me down immediatly. Maybe its only the sweet tone thing…. For me its magic….. RIP Peter, I miss you.
This song is not as dark as people want it to be. It’s just fantastic!”
I agree with yo very much !!! But it tells us about money and how greedy people can get , just like the greenmanilishi (hindufemale)
Das war noch echte geile Musik ich habe diese Zeit einfach nur geliebt .heute ist einfach nur alles SCHEISSE.
Peter Green will always be my number one source of musical inspiration. What a talent, and what a gift to us. Rest in peace, dear Peter. And, thank you.
So many great musicians in one band. Out of this world.
one of the greatrockbands all time!!!!
I am 56 years old I’ve been playing the Judas Priest version of that song forever I did not even know that the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Greene even wrote that song! It is so much classier than the Judas Priest version I am thoroughly impressed! Of course nothing against Judas Priest!
RIP Peter Green, devastated.
Powerful tube amps, raw lyrics and live, one take, no wonder why Peter made so much money, what an artistic performance, never to be duplicated by current acts on prime time tv ever again, at that time you actually had to be talented to get recognized.
Ironically enough, Peter left the band because the rest of the band refused to give away their money like he was doing. This song (The Green Manalishi) is actually about an LSD-induced nightmare Peter had of a green dog with horns that relentlessly barked at him and attacked him. In his nightmare the dog symbolized the evils of money, and from that time forward, Peter wanted NOTHING to do with any money that seemed more than enough for him to survive on. Ofc a lot of his reasoning for doing some of the odd things that he did (he pulled a gun out on a guy who was trying to deliver a royalty check to him in 1977) were due to delusions and auditory hallucinations that were a part of Schizophrenia (which he was diagnosed with). Excess drug use, stress, and random genetic susceptibility will get you that (“that” as in the development of a lifelong psychotic disorder).
One of the greatest yet darkest songs ever written
This is freakin amazing!!!
Sometimes you hear a guitarist play so emotionally and heart-wrenching you feel like they could completely control you if they wanted to. Peter was one of those guys for me
R.I.P Peter Green. He deserved so much more credit than given
This song had an immense effect on me the first time I heard it. Thank you Peter Green. RIP.

Same here the solo is perfection. So dark and full of emotion.
Peter Green was so under rated as a player and on vocals. I wish life delt him a better hand .
*_Yes, there is no justice ..._*
RIP Peter. Your talent was there for all to see. You truly were an amazing writer and your music totally unforgettable. Thank you.
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL❤❤❤.
The original Fleetwood Mac!
Hell yeah.
THE ONLY FLEETWOOD MAC ❤❤❤❤❤
I am so glad I grew up with this ringing in my ears as a 15 year old in London...What a wonderful line-up Peter, Danny and Jeremy made...
Thank goodness for old videos of pure talent - I can be 24 again..
This is priceless! A musical treasure.We are so very lucky video like this exists.Thank you🌟
R I P Mr Green thank you for the rifts and classic songs
I thought the JP version was awesome and original. But thanks to UA-cam I get this. JP version great but this is something else. Wow
The greatest Mac line up doing their greatest song, brilliant. Imagine how great this band would have become if Green, Kirwan and Spencer hadn't been got at.
1 of the all time great guitarists,the great Peter green.
And vocalists. His voice was perfect for blues - rock - and this.
If there was a list of the best guitarists of all time, at the top with a ONE in front of his name would be Peter Green.
Peter a true guitar legend and brilliant vocalist and Man.❤❤❤
What I remember from this era is that Fleetwood Mac was Peter Green(the soul), Mick Fleetwood and John McVie(the rhythm) accompanied by Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan on guitars. They were and still are a great band.
Peter greens guitaring is haunting ...such a great lost talent
RIP Peter you will be missed
No doubt one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time white or black
Oh my God, this is true rock masterpiece. RIP Peter in Green Heaven
One of the most haunting rock songs ever. It never got the recognition it deserved.
So sad that Peter Green is no longer with us...
RIP Peter. you will be missed. thankyou for all the joy your music brought me
Great solo, wonderful tone, elegant ideas, no shredding.
Pure genius.
Greeny one of the immortals!!!!!☘
This song is scary and I'm a grownup. I think that's how they made it to be , and the percussion suits it so nicely, they were all on the same wavelength almost like as one. Intense.
