This isn't just great guitar, it is mind-numbing, especially after the songs is over, and you're trying to comprehend what you just heard! Such deep and skilled playing here it should be in the Library of Congress, and be a mandatory teaching-standard in schools. The power of this solo takes a toll on the listener, glad to see so many who agree.
Did you ever see the 2005 Tribute Concert for Phil Lynott? Gary Moore's playing is right up there with this. I think he even uses Peter's guitar sometimes. IIRC. Here's a link to one song:
ua-cam.com/video/e2ffgZOab2k/v-deo.html
I got something that's not only mind numbing, it's butt numbing as well. It's in my shorts.
You can't teach this. This is Peter's and Peter's alone.
Every note carefully placed ,not just a meaningless flurry of notes for the sake of it ..brilliant !
I've only just discovered this song and the first time I heard it, the solo almost had me in tears, just because it's so fucking good!
@@waynedowling6593 No there's not too many better solo,s than this one .......
@@waynedowling6593 jimi hendrix machine gun filmore 69/70 solo is perhaps the only one in my opinion .....
Its completely improvised not carefully placed. He would have only played this once and would not have remembered it afterwards. It’s Gm pentatonic in three positions any sequence practically fits over this chord progression.
@@megadave1197 It,s brilliant ,,wish l could improvise as good !
One of the most haunting guitar songs I've ever heard. This is music from troubled souls. Peter's voice sounds painful, as the guitars sound as haunting as ever. You can feel the soul in this just screaming in agony. Wonderful song. This show and the Boston Tea Party recordings have some of the best playing from the early Fleetwood Mac band.
PETER GREEN'S FLEETWOOD MAC!!!! Don't forget.
@@thomasbaillie-carrigan3100 always.
Hear hear !
i worked on tours since 1970's with tons of greats - jazzers, Stevie, Stones, Eagles blah blah just happened to pop this on today Sunday my god Peter was great RIP
Peter. Green. the. best blues guitar.player in the World.
This must be the best guitar solo ever - period!
Es el mejor solo.
RIP, Peter Green. Greatly missed by blues fans all over the world.
He had the talent, maybe not the mind to make a great career. He deserved much more recognition that he had ! RIP Peter Green !
Sometimes it's best just to say nothing.
So sad about the news today of the Green God Peter the Great .He was Band Aid when Geldof was stil at school.A truly gifted and giving human being R.I.P
So true, before George Harrison did the first big one for Bangladesh. Peter the Great, now appearing hourly with The 3 Kings, Stevie & Jimi Sextet beyond eternity. RIP
And he had his neck PUP turned the correct way!!! *
Is this pickup lingo? note to self get my pickups rewound. I did the neck one on my 56 strat 11639 but maybe do the other two to Danny specs Gary Brawer at Real Guitars did the bobbin work and a refret in 97 and turned a very old strat into a les paul cause I asked for it. If anyone needs a plek job out of this world good....(Joe Satriani uses Gary as well as many pros ...go to where its Real on Lafayette in da chity of san franny.
Lovely words Mathew Hill. Green, the best of all time....
@@yarygork2334 Peters 59 Les Paul got the neck PUP flipped somehow and the magnet got flipped causing an out of phase sound in the mid position.
I just joke about it being the correct way because it LOOKS better,lol.Flipping the position to match the bridge PUP makes no diff to the sound.IMHO
Peter Green, the master of electric blues. That guitar goes straight to the heart. Very moving and very beautiful.
Straight through the heart
Straight to the heart - Camel
Possibly the best ever
One of the top ten blues performances ever. Period. Peter and Danny are criminally underrated, probably more so by the public and the media than guitarists and musicians, but still.
they are not underrated at all !
Wow i love this.. incredible guitar playing.. pure soul and feeling ❤
There is no need for any human being to play the electric guitar ever again this is everything ♥️
RIP to this great guitarist, singer and songwriter. 💐🎸💐
RIP Peter. As soon as I heard the news today, I thought of your wonderful voice and playing on this track.
Same here. I think its his greatest solo. RIP
Sad day today...the great Greeny has passed away...7/25/2020
I will never ever be tired of this song. He will be forever my favourite guitar player
E. Roldan same here!.. marry me.
E. Roldan Ditto! And again!!
He's my favourite guitar player too. This is an incredible version of an old B B King song which in my opinion is even better than the original
Without a doubt is better than the original haha. Even BB King said "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats".
Mike Bloomfield also plays a great version of this song on the Paul Butterfield Blues Band album East-West, but I still prefer Peter Green's version. I'm also a big fan of Peter Green's version of "Need Your Love So Bad" and played it on Peter's birthday last year at the Casa del Blues de Sevilla.
That solo is nothing but Peter Green. There can be no mistaking. No one can sound as beautiful or look as beautiful as him.
TRUE.
Except for Danny Kirwan.
Top shelf early British Blues with Peter on the Gibson Holy Grail. It doesn't get much better than this folks.
These old British bands had such a deep feeling for the Blues.
RIP Peter the best guitar player of all
world, also composer and amazing singer, the king of blues 😭
Hendrix and Page are my favorite guitar players, but i'm not sure anyone ever made a guitar cry the way Peter Green could.
Stevie Ray Vaughan?
Me too! Hendrix and Green - the best ever. If I was stuck on a desert island with only one artist's music I'd probaby choose Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac days. Can you imagine having nothing but Jimmy Page to listen to? I'd go insane.
@@remarkably1966 🤣🤣 doesn't belong in the same paragraph as Green....
Only Hendrix did something similar (in his own right) - listen to "Who Knows" on studio-recorded "Band of gypsies", "In from the storm" and certain tunes on "Rainbow bridge". Clapton, SRV, J. Winter, Roy Buchanan... "got almost there" - virtuosity, speed, "tone" - all is there, but the guitar remains an excitingly sounding instrument...
@@davidt9238 hendrix machine gun filmore new years eve is the greatest solo ever that will never be beaten .but this is close ...
The note Peter Green hits at 2.21 sends a shiver down my spine. No-one before or since has been able to touch the feeling in his playing on slow blues. Small wonder that BB King said Peter was the only guitarist who made him sweat.
2:21 - 3:21 is incredible
I believe this is why the great BB shivered. The sense of space, power, economy and gut wrenching soul. Makes you weak at the knees.
I think BB said "cold sweats". I know what he means
I don’t think the exact words matter - what’s important was BB’s sentiment.
One of the most beautiful solos to ever leave a Les Paul!..
Holy fuck!! Didn't expect to see this on YT. This show is traded; I got mine from an allman brothers thread long ago. One of my favorite guitar solos, ever. Peter Green will always and forever be a legend.
Nobody phrases like Peter Green. Shredding seems so shallow after hearing this. Every note gets its space. So cool. A lot easier said than done. Peter does it best.
Outstanding. One of my favourite guitar players. Peter Green xxxxx
If the first 5 minutes and 57 seconds didn't knock you out, then 5:58 is the finishing blow! I can't even articulate how awesome that run is... just gotta sit back, listen and let it kick your ass
Thats Danny Kirwan at 5:58
Phenomenal...It's evident why BB King was amongst Peter Green's admirers!! Obviously, the guitar mastery, haunting soulfulness in both playing and singing...plus charisma and then some, that just can't be taught...RIP Peter Green, Danny Kerwin and BB King...Your presences resonate through your music and the ages!!!
Wonderful, haunting blues playing. It could only be Peter Green. No electronic trickery, quite crude amplification, but all completely overcome by sublime feel, touch and tone.
Hands down, one of the best blues guitarists who has ever lived. As BB King put it, "[h]e has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats". All that with nothing but a guitar, an amp, and his hands.
Could this be the best live Blues number ever ? stunning
I think it is. And studio, i'll say "Good bye pork pie hat" by Jeff Beck....
I’ll keep this brief. Wow!
The pictures of a young Danny Kirwan are hard to look at. Danny died less than a month ago, on June 08. His playing was cut short by a similar deterioration of mental stability (by what still remains a mystery today) as Peter Green's. Two great guitarists who's paths crossed briefly during a most influential time in the English music period of the late 1960's. R.I.P. Danny
Danny was a great guitarist
I think that, because Danny was very shy and nervous, he couldn't cope with things after Peter left.
OMG. Was this song really performed nearly 50 years ago?
Life passes by like a flash, indeed.
52 years now.
@@qritique53 now 😕
So passes the great Peter Green RIP 💙
Sad
The best piece of music...as if Peter grabs into my body, grabs my soul, puts it back, walksaway with a smile.
I grew up with Lindsey's Fleetwood Mac, i'm discovering this era, it's awesome!
+Connor B Maybe, but they're different.
+Connor B
No one could ever fill Peter's pants. he is the greatest Brishih blues guitarist. And I mine NO ONE...
Fleetwood Mac after Peter Green = bubble gum.
Real fleetwood mac is actually this, still Stevie nicks was legendary so I think Fleetwood is the best band
He set such a high bar that others could follow but this performance has a crying playing that nobody could ever match or himself surpass - pure platinum
Peter Green the Master of British Blues
"Earthly Blues"
Blues. Full stop.
Thank you so much for posting this truly exquisite performance.
PGFM, my favorite band. Peter's playing just goes up and up and up. So glad this performance was captured on tape. Soon after this, Peter left. I really can't see Peter competing with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Boston and Journey. Peter was one of a kind. Bless him.
Love you dearly Mr.Peter Green......You move my soul..........God bless you Sir....
Perhaps the best thing Greeny ever did. So ironic now that he's gone. This IS the Blues.
Beautiful guitar work by Peter Green. But do not, under any circumstances forget about Danny Kirwan. There is a very good reason that Peter Green, himself, brought Danny into the band. He was not brought in to back up Peter. Peter was not that self absorbed. Danny was, in many ways, an equally adept guitarist. Many listeners mistake Danny's solos for Peter's. Fleetwood Mac in this era had three great guitarists, Peter Green, Danny Kiran, and Jeremey Spencer. When they recorded their material, the musician who wrote the song was always the featured soloist. This is the best way to find out who is playing what. Danny's playing, though somewhat similar to Peter's was very distinctive in that he had a very fast and intense left hand vibrato. Even more so than Peter's. And Danny drew influences from different players such as Django Reinhardt, and Lonnie Johnson along with B.B., Freddie, and Otis Rush. Check out Jigsaw Puzzle Blues, and Otis Spann's Temperature is rising. All Danny! Also check out a later Fleetwood Mac instrumental, "Sunny Side of Heaven" off of the "Bare Trees" Album. Pure genius! I in no way mean to detract from Pater Green's genius. I do believe however that Danny is often overlooked and put in the shadow of Peter. In the later 60's when most of my guitar playing buddies were going nuts over Eric Clapton and Hendrix, I was the oddball and was absorbed in the music of this version of Fleetwood Mac. And then there is Jeremey Spencer........!
I totally agree with you and thanks for expressing your point of view.
my respects for danny kirwan, but peter is on a whole other league. it's easy to distinguish their playing. anyhow, to think how young were the both of them and how talented is just crazy. cheers!
"Peter was not that self absorbed." That is why so many of us love him to bits.
this song was a bb king song so who among the 3 great guitarist got the solo? peter? or danny? or jeremy?
Songwriter: Carl B. Adams BB just covered it, like everyone else.
RIP Peter Green
It's amazing ... Such passionate insight into young minded mental health as humanity rushed too judge the greatest explosion of music EVER . As a person who LIVED THE era's of Rock , the Blues , and experimental remembrance of the old songs of the blacks of the South call the blues, or is b.b. King said the pinks or whatever have you told the stories of how we felt. It all started with sister Loretta Thorpe and I'm told that last year we lost that we lost one of the greatest guitarist Jeff Beck . As a roadie off and on for 14 years I wish they were certain people I could have talked to and got to know, and would have had deep conversations about life and staying steadfast in our convictions. I'm 77 now in a hospital with numerous conditions from being in Vietnam at only 19. Country Joe McDonald said it best . They might take your body but they're not going to take your mind . Live each moment to the fullest, laugh out loud. You're not laughing at them you're laughing at the situation you're in with them.
That part from 2:21 hits my soul like a cannon...Pinnacle of blues.
I agree. Never heard anything played with that kind of ferocity, sounds otherworldly.
i think this has to be the best version of the 5 on you tube
pure blues, peter green is a guitar genius
Check out What kind of woman is this? - Buddy Guy. Wow.
HE IS
One of his best solo performance i have listen to.
My only wish we could see more live videos of these great performances, there is not enough about in my opinion.
a masterpiece and it leaves me humble. only this band, these great men, had such an expressive game
As much as I love the Boston Tea Party shows I feel this is his best live song with Fleetwood Mac. Please let me know if you agree or disagree. RIP Peter
I agree, but then again, this is the best live music I have ever heard ;)
Thanks Robert Cooper for your very interesting comments. I was around studying and listening to these lads intently in the sixties as well but I always thought Greeny had the edge. The events with drugs in Germany which destroyed his genius were a terrible tragedy and cause me great sadness. Listen to that wonderful playing for God's sake!
I was a senior in college and a friend got tickets to go to the opening weekend of a new music venue in New Orleans, The Warehouse. There were three bands playing and our main interest was to see the Grateful Dead. However, I keenly remembered being blown away by Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green's incredibly soulful playing. There was a third group, but I regret that I cannot remember who they were. This brings back pleasant memories of that day in 1970.
I listened to this last night after eating mushrooms and I cried for about 3 hours. It was kind of just intensely painful but I’m glad I went through it. Peace.
Thank you for sharing your music. God bless you and now your mind will be at peace. Looking forward to hear you on the other side.
The "Live At The Warehouse, New Orleans, Louisiana , Feb 1 , 1970" was never officially released. It is available for free online for download as a bootleg. An excellent show well worth downloading. This is without a doubt the best version Peter Green ever did of this song.
Agreed. The Warehouse recordings are almost mythical. And this is my all time favourite live guitar performance - and I wasn’t there, somehow I didn’t need to be. Thank god for PG and UA-cam.
Thank you Peter Just Awesome...
Peter Green outlived Rory. RIP to both of them. What a great song.
Kirwan and Green could have given us nothing short of 10 years' pure guitar genius. I'd love to have watched the two develop new styles through the 70s. Green had a real talent for writing and god given voice, Kirwan the touch of an angel. Very special duo. Spencer was pretty handy, too, on the 4-string.
RIP Peter Green 💔
Completely with out equal.
R.I.P Greeny
Mesmerising. RIP the great Peter Green. Your music lives on and on.
Remembering old times ... the best of my life, as always ... for all of us.
Great, great blues guitar playing. He certainly is a great guitarist. I also like very much Mike Bloomfield's playing on the version done by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band.
Guitar playing takern to another level of brilliants from the great peter green
What a solo!!!
“Danny was Emotionally Fragile. I would look over at Danny and he would be Crying as he was Playing Guitar”….Peter Green
Thank you, Pete.
RIP Peter 💔
Right to the heart RIP
Love you Peter.
incredibly beautiful; after this guitar solo there is a long time of silence, befor you return to earth
I sort of stumbled in here. I always liked the old Mac but I never really looked. Thank you!
1970 peter was unstoppable but unfortunately that's the year he was never the same r.i.p peter greenbaum.
After about 700 listens, I still think this is the best guitar solo ever recorded.
I always link my tablet up to my main amp and speakers to get the full effect of this video ...Sounds great ....
Muchas gracias Qeti, por traducirme la letra de este tema, precioso, que me llega hasta el tuétano. Muchas gracias de verdad Qeti, un abrazo.
♥️
In tears right now 😢 R.I.P you gentle soul
Incredible.
Music from troubled souls. RIP genius!
The best song ever composed
an impressive '70 sound quality !.... RIP Peter Green !
Gotta mind to give up living...Awesome BLUES,
Incredible
Amazing band, it’s a shame it was cut short.
Gotta live it to feel it..💙
Genius.
Both the guitar playing and the singing are equally great!
Peter was friends with Clapton and so was SRV, imagine a collaboration between them 3... wouldn't be legal
Can you imagine being at this show that night in NOLA, experiencing this in person ?? Otherworldly !!
Can't begin to imagine how foolish the Grateful Dead must have felt that night having to follow an epic performance like that!
Yes. But then the Dead should have felt foolish following a dog fart. Only band I ever saw twice and fell asleep both times.
This is one of the best songs by B .B. King that Peter has ever played with so much soul for Peter was really depressed and was leaving the band .
Incomparable!!!
PETER GREEN ME CONMUEVE, ME LLENA EL ALMA, ME ACOMPAÑA SU MUSICA DESDE SIEMPRE Y SIEMPRE LO DISFRUTO
Thank god for u tube
This is insanely good
