Watch Out - Fleetwood Mac

[MrJameswingham]

Peter fluffs a few lines here...but the energy is so strong! And that rhythm section is great....shame they went to the US...we loved them here in London!



[millisitch]

sounds like jazz



[melchizedekism]

The Jesus look? He was Jewish just like Jesus!

[XxDylanLxX]

Do you think green went for the "Jesus look" for a reason?

[georgerism]

this fleetwood mac goes back over 40 years but with peter green on guitar and vocals it is timeless

[punkylynnbrewster]

i had an argument with someone that lindsey buckingham was a better guitarist... i should've done a bit more research before i started that argument.... peter green is obviously the better guitarist...

[DirtyDeck]

@punkylynnbrewster haaaaaaa i wish i hadda been in that argument with you!

[TheHeliumkid]

did i imagine a slow version of this? help

[cbhash42]

i can't say anything about Peter Green that hasn't already been said, but i will add that i'm amazed at how FEW drummers are capable of playing a (real) shuffle at that tempo. So few even bother to learn that. Thank you Mick Fleetwood! A great track!

[strangeones4]

@cbhash42

That's the stigma Mick Fleetwood traded for pop success in 1975.

If they only knew how good a blues shuffle beat drummer Mick Fleetwood was in 1967. This is the fastest (real) blues shuffle I've heard from any drummer (Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, BB King, and Paul B Blues Band). Mick Fleetwood was born to be the drummer for Peter Green, in any project. Just LISTEN TO THIS SONG! Has anyone ever noticed that "Don't Stop" is a blues shuffle? Mick Fleetwood want's PG back!!

[peonwarrior]

There aren't any "best guitarist"...But there are Masters, Peter Green is one of them.

[1953fast]

The best

[DirtyDeck]

Primely BB King. The sense of phrasing. They were kindred spirits in a few ways.

[Fruscianteistheman]

haha

i just picked up my guitar and immideatly started trying to figure out these genius licks

[TDKIII]

I would say Green's musical style (vocals, songwriting/guitar) is a heavy combination of BB King, Otis Rush and Howlin' Wolf, with touches of Freddy King and Albert Collins

the Collins influence is most evident on I Loved Another Woman, which seems influenced by Kool Aid

[EricCirca6566]

@TDKIII I also noticed a slight Albert Collins influence on the song "Greeny." It's subtle but I believe that it's there.

[vegimite2010]

fantastic !!!

[4rainbowed]

Wow ---now I know what Rory Gallagher was talking about... the ONLY time I ever saw him even get close to dissing anybody in an interview, he was saying the difference between Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, and te BLUES, and what they'd become was [here he was so astounded, he was at a loss for words!] .. he said if they ever kept calling them a "blues band" (this was in the 1980s), he could find it hard not to comment upon it.

[cdawg4391]

Best Fleetwood Mac lineup - ever.

[duncanstpt]

Absolutely excellent.

[TheItalianbird]

scoob505 i agree .

[bizual]

Peter Green at his best!!!

[Shim267]

ALL HAIL THE GREEN GOD!!!

[talpajam]

the shaman.

[MorroccoM13]

It doesnt get any better than Greeny

[rwm48]

Great guitar as always, but I think he really sounds a lot like Otis Rush on the short vocal here. Man, great stuff!!

[54Moredoor]

Simply one of the greatest! What a touch he had.

[BorangaGeorgie]

peter green is simply a genius

[theminimumdog]

Peter Green is god.

[simon1000]

PG - greatest blues guitarist!

[IFulcrum]

Ahh Peter Green does it for me everytime! I prefer the slower version of this song, but this version has merit in it's vitality and, of course, Green's ever incredible phrasing :D Thanks for posting

[Julcisko]

Love the sound of bass.

[68bluesman]

Great stuff! They take this in a slower loping shuffle with a less busy John McVie on Blues Jam at Chess Studios.

[timjmoran]

Odd track this.. seems to be only Green, MacVie & Fleetwood.. I don't hear any other guitars here. It is a GREAT example of what a fab Drummer Fleetwood is,

esp on this kind of shuffle. The guy is like a freakin' clock!! ALSO.. just dawned on me that a BIG influence on Green vocally

was Otis Rush.

[sam19851]

@timjmoran

Yes certainly. Otis Rush and BB King among others are not bad guys to take props from! Two of my favorites too actually.

[YoGroucho]

Simplemente espectacular, no hay otro como Peter.

[SHEMAMAN]

Again, amazing playing from a groundbreaking British band and with Mr Greenbaum at his finest.

Thanks for posting this.

Jeff

[dezern8]

Anyone know what year this was recorded?

[Bleadbelly1]

The Original Fleetwood Mac is a compilation album by blues-rock band Fleetwood Mac, first released in 1971. It consists of various outtakes recorded by the first incarnation of the band in 1967-68. The album was re-released in 2000 with four extra tracks.

[dezern8]

Thanks, Bleadbelly. I've got the very first album (Blue Horizon Album), and I love it. I've also got the Boston Tea Party Live CD(vol. one), check it out. Its really good! :)

[Bleadbelly1]

My collection consists of- Mr Wonderful Pious bird of good omen Blues jam in Chicago vol 1 Blues Jam in Chicago vol 2 The Original Fleetwood Mac Fleetwood Mac Windsor 1967 Fleetwood Mac Carousel Ballroom 1968 English Rose Live at the BBC Live at the Fillmore West 1970 In addition I have quite a few of the Peter Green Splinter Band Now it looks like Boston Tea party is on the shopping list!! lol

[dezern8]

Hi Bleadbelly;

You've got the collection I wish I had. Believe it or not, the first Mac album I bought back in '75, when the FM album came out with Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. I liked the song "Rhiannon", so I bought the Album. A friend who played guitar, told me to check out the Fleetwood Mac in Chicago album. I bought it, and have been a fan of the early Fleetwood Mac ever since. I saw them in 1972 when Danny Kirwan was still with them, great concert!

[MrPHBarr1919]

My first album ever i bought when i was a young lad was Pious Bird and i am diehart PG`s Fleetwood Mac fan since then.

[Bleadbelly1]

Yes I fully understand.

It is difficult not to be a devout fan once a person has sampled their blues music I love it.

Keep the Faith

[sam19851]

Grab Men of the World. a 3 cd set mate, im sure you will be pleasantly surprised!

[LowStackTom]

thanx for the upload stoffe2

[chickencordonbleu]

this outtake is SoO good, better than the actual song on this album

[twoslices]

Nobody was better than this guy. Phrasing,timing.He had it all.

[Scoob505]

@twoslices Rory Gallagher was.

[downonme666]

@Scoob505 They both were AMAZING and unfortunately underrated!

[TheoGallagher]

@twoslices A wife who's forgotten nephew had a ball-bag that he held his AT-AT walker and other star wars toys. St. Nick, are reformed Sargent, once described Jamie's scrotum as a hiking sock with marbles in it. After regretfully making this comment, the Sarge went to the boys house in the east end of London holding nothing but a vole taped across his un-shaved chest. "My boy" scream through the crisp night air, "I bring you a vole!" after hours of talking the srt. made the vole eat jami's sac

[Shim267]

Man, Peter looks way better with short hair.

[plattform5163]

Great blues!

[DetKriger]

Genious.

[af4k]

GO GREENY! Ya gotta love these out-takes....

[strangeones4]

Take 1 of this song is on fire, but unfortunately it's an incomplete take. Take note how fast Mick Fleetwood is playing a blues shuffle beat, great stuff.

[Shim267]

I like it fast! Makes me wanna dance!

[TEQUESTA33469]

This should be considered a Public Service to the Music world ....... Many Thanks.

[sam19851]

1:30 - 1:40... an example of one of the many reason s why i love Peter Green.

Diction and timing my friend!

[dfbarbour]

Great tune. Rock solid rhythm section. Fantastic blues voice. Great guitar tone. Not his most assured soloing, but great to hear anything from those Blue Horizon sessions.

[doctorzweistein]

Thanks Stoffe. Great version of the song and very nice effect you have created on the pictures. Great that you have posted so many Green songs.

[sam19851]

Nice speedy version

[NiggerMoviesSuck]

Nice photos!

[dannykirwan]

Stoffe thanks, thanks for further igniting the flame of Peter Green

[Robokiller80]

You can only really ignite something but I agree this is awesome
