Somewhere around the early part of the 5 minute mark reminds me of a part that I've heard from Led Zeppelin's "Song Remains The Same" album - That part where the band is vamping on something right before they go into a few bars of "If You're Going To San Francisco".
@loufromperu65 it's no secret that Page is a huge fan of Peter Green . I can hear alot of Green in Page's improv lines on several of Led Zeppelin's concert bootlegs.

This is by far one of the greatest songs ever preformed live. I'm 63 and I saw the first Mac shows at the Wiskey. The first show was canceled because Jeremy Spencer had disappeared. We all know what happened to him. In 1972 Peter Green moved in upstairs from me in Topanga Canyon. He would not talk about music or the old days. He was quite belligerent it. He just wanted to be left alone. Had to respect my hero's privacy.
Peter Green should take some time out of his busy day to show Carlos Santana "OK, here's how I really meant Black Magic Woman to go" now see if you can do that as good as me BITCH
Thank you so much for posting such an amazing version of my very favourite song of all time, and the best line up of Fleetwood Mac ... just listen to the man (Peter Green) bearing his soul.
For those that don't know, this song is about a nightmare Peter had one night, Manalishi is a devil, and the green represents dollars (green backs) it was shortly after this song was created that Peter went off, tried to give all the bands money away ... and thus started the demise of the original line up.
Even if I didn't know who wrote this track I'd have to be totally mental and a dick as well to say that Judas Priest even comes close to this. I say again- A DICK!
Absolute genius! ! The best version of this song anywhere. As others have noted, Peter Green's soul and emotion just jumps jumps out of the so-so sound quality and his mastery of the Fender VI 6 string bass as well as his Les Paul is amazing. Interesting to note that this made the top 10 in the British singles charts in 1970 and now the preferred choice of our youth is Katy Perry. Sigh...!
I like all versions of FM. My favorite version is the Stevie and Lindsey version, but i also like Green's version. This song in particular is fantastic. Thansk for posting.
Peter Green's FM was incredible and undeniably influential, unlike the latter nauseating FM abomination... All in all though, quite a stretch to suggest that FM had any significant influence on Page & Zeppelin.... ridiculous.
@TheRealWitchazel Nope they loved Greeny. Jimmy Page said they based Black Dog on Oh Well. Lindsey Buckingham of FM mark II is highly underated guitarist. See The Chain.
I feel bad for Peter- listening to this- considering the time period, and what he was beginning to go through. I would encourage everyone to check out "End of the Game", and album he recorded after he left Fleetwood Mac. It's basically a live, in-studio jam. All improvised. And like this track, it's just amazing. Different, but amazing. It's a continuation of his spiral, and you can hear it. I'm glad he's doing ok today.
@greenfruitface Agreed. End of the Game is an absolute (if little known) classic. Green was reaching into Timeless Time, past rock rhythms and changes, past Fleetwood Mac. It sounded wonderful when it was released (1970?) and it still does today.
All british blues artists blatantly stole from their idols and didnt give them credit, hell cream's strange brew is lawdy mama rewritten a little. So only going after zepp for plagarism is annoying and shows how little you know about the music before and after the british blues boom. Btw the only real plagarism zepp was ever to get any real backlash for was the lyrics not the actual music.
@Magicquickfingers There is a good piece on Robert Johnson in the English mag' Guitar' it shows how johnson borrowed some signature ideas from other blues men before him! BB King and others borrowed from Django Reinhardt ! so it is o k when a black guy takes from a black guy giving no credit yet not when another race does?I would call you a fucking idiot but you being austrailian it would be redundant !
@AgilePenatonic1 Do tell? Cite your source, please. Actually, "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats." does NOT limit nor differentiate extricate or intimate "White Man" as YOU say "he (B.B.King) said". Since you seem to know well enough to have made this statement and issuing this clarification, please educate us - where have you sighted evidence of this claim, or are you an eye witness who heard this first hand?
@mythtree Peter Green is a modest man. From a schizophenia website " But Green then resurrects a 1960s chestnut, much debated in student union bars of the time. "White men can't really play the blues," he says adamantly. When pressed, he concedes that Clapton "doesn't do badly" but seems incredulous that his own work should be rated alongside the great black American guitarists."
I've always thought that this song and "Oh Well" must have been huge influences on Eric Clapton when he was writing "Layla' The concepts are so similar.
Ahhh... my friend was always telling me his favorite Judas Priest song was The Green Manalishi but I could never understand why. Now I get it. This version is so much better than the JP even though I love JP. Peter Green kills it!!!
This is one of the greatest songs ever written, the raw power and energy and emotion it must have been as amazing to watch these guys play this as it was for them to play it. Simply awe inspiring and what a great bass solo
Just an incredible tune, I wish there were more songs like this in the original Fleetwood Mac's repertoire. Sadly, Peter Green wigged out from acid a la Syd Barrett around the time this first came out, and the first incarnation of FM was no more. On the DVD Live at the Boston Tea Party Vol 1 Green introduces the tune by saying "this is a song about the devil". Thus, the two-pronged crown.
I don't think there's many effects going on this. I saw a DVD on how to play this. Below the surface there is a guitar stabbing chords using the tremolo arm with his amp setting on very fast vibrato (on old Fender amps).
Other than that, its just layering of two guitars - Danny and Peters I think. One is playing a higher inversion of the others. Peter and Danny had great tone anyway. I heard it was played through a Fender Bassman VI too.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
great opening till about 4.00, then it really starts to suck, green was a genius guitarist, but when he "advises" the band improvising - forget it...... no wonder he left or they kicked him out.....sad but predictable..........
OMG. It does not any better than this, people. Greeny's playing is off the charts. You can hear that the hell hounds are closing in. At this point, he had done it all. First with Mayal, stepping into Clapton's shoes, then with FM. . His playing almost made me cry. Absolutely brilliant with blistering solos.
@seandeyoung01 I mean no disrespect, I am a huge fan of Zeppelin and also Fleetwood (especially the early Peter Green days). However, your comment is a bit odd considering both bands came into rock and roll in the same time frame- the crucial 1967-1975 window. But more than that- all great blues rock bands 'took a lot' from the original greats like Johnson and Muddy. But the most important thing is... this is a great tune, man.
@seandeyoung01 They were both experimenters and thankfully they both came up with some great music at that time !! That was the point of the late 60s early 70s.
Musicians were far more creative and inventive .It was what we wanted !! Money came later and now we have people who can hardly sing and need an auto-tune to help them out !!
@seandeyoung01 Yeah, and many of your favorite bands owe a lot to Led Zeppelin. Everybody is influenced by somebody. Attempting to criticize Led Zeppelin is pointless.
@seandeyoung01 but unfortunately not the best parts - such as choosing a pretentious, gay eunoch as frontman for example who was born a cunt, and will die one (soon we hope)
I also wish he had stayed with them longer...when you see the progression from "Albatross" to "Oh Well" and then "Green Manalishi" things just get darker, more intense...better. Maybe Buckingham/Nicks would never have got in the picture (they would have made it eventually, anyways, if not discovered by Fleetwood then someone else), but we would have gotten more stuff like this in exchange.
The studio version of this is devastating, but Fleetwood Mac were always better live, in any incarnation--and I can't believe I just found a live version w/Green...as expected, it tears the studio version to absolute shreds and proves he really was the guitar god of legend. It doesn't get any better than this, does it? And great sound for a 40-year old boot!
This may be a great piece of music and guitar work but it was the beginning of the end of Peter Green as we had known him and that we all loved so much. He was a Blues Machine with an uncanny touch and style.
Man, this is the best thing Peter Green ever did. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! From a 55 year old plastic businessman, bu a hipppie at heart and this song brings back my best memories of FM before they came out with that pop crap starting with Rumors. And to no include him when FM was inducted in he R&R hall of Fame, makes me even more angry and why I refuse to listen to anything after Welch left.
Ihave this version on an album and it truly is one of thee finest ever. PG was really starting to feel the demons I think when he wrote this. And to all the Judas Priest fans - No Offence, but they don't even come remotely close to this dude when he's working his magic!! JP sound sanitised and lacking the soul of Greeny.
@sam19851 Many thanks for upload.....peters Greens greatest work was short but Iconic.
What happened to peters incredible backing guitarist, Danny Kerwin....Fleetwood Mac dumped him and he slept on the streets for years. Now in a Hostel, I heard. What a bunch of money grabbing shits...not there to help out the musicians who made them multi-millionar's. Exactly what Peter forsaw and was against.
Actually there is a BBC recording of some reporter asking JH "how does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world" he answered ask Phil Keaggy (Glass Harp}
Yes your right, i believe its some Greek guitarist. The myth is that he says " Rory Gallagher " i often see that quote come up when in fact it was someone practically unknown to the public.
There's also one when Hendrix is asked that and he says, "You'll have to ask Lenny Breau. I think that was on Johnny Carson or Dick Cavett. This is a cool version of Manalishi, btw.
the Priest version is truly great but then so is this. they are just different. Priest made it a great rock song too, just like they did with j baez's diamonds and rust and spooky tooth's better by you, better than me. you can't really compare. but then I am obviously biased coz i adore judas priest, haha
does anyone think that page's solo in achilles' last stand wad inspired by green's (3:00- 5:00)? it was weird hearing them back to back- everything from the chord changes to their phrasing, tone, mood, etc...
god i certainly havent head many songs that rock harder than this. ive just downlaoded the original from the album and im definitely showing this to all my friends :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
There are a few good ones about who'll be regarded as classics in 10-20 years.... The killers, Kings of Leon, Oasis (or are they already regarded as classics) The Libertines, Razorlight.....and there are a few more but there arnt many!!!
@Naybot9 weep all you want...priest did it because they know its a good song and they did a great job...i like peter green's twisted guitar ideas but it was more refined in priest...different bands...
I did say I thought this was better.I like the erie quality and the feel.also said this was better. yes i like priest better because Im more into metal but i did give fwm credit where credit is due.If you don't like metal. fine but I wouldnt call it shit music. alot of great muscians are involved in metal.I like the harder edge of priest version .but I like the spookie feel of this
the judas priest version rocks harder.I like it better(sorry)but fwm ads and erie vibe to it. paints a scary picture in your head.this is actully better. im just more into metal
let me rephrase...'im just more into shit music' is what you should have said, how can compare the judas shit version to this? the judas priest version is probably the shitest song ive ever heard in my life
really now....for the mainstream part, yea ill give you that, but for more underground bands...nope...and it clearly shows youre ingorant in that sense.......
I just like the real deal, todays music is souless meaningless shit, just my opinion, thats all, no one is asking you to agree with me. You obviously cant handle the fact that someone has an opinion different from yours.
depends on what u like, you obviously havent strayed far from what you either grew up on or what you like now, and are narrow-minded, thats something thats hard to handle for me...or really any musician
I listen to a hell of a lot of new music, hoping that it will affect me in the way that that the legends like Peter Green do, so its not a case of being narrow minded, the music has to do something for me and im afraid most of the modern bands cannot do it for me. Lets agree to disagree.
there was a very good version of this on an lp called without portfolio from early 70s, which would be good to find, if this is not the same one.

This may be a great piece of music and guitar work but it was the beginning of the end of Peter Green as we had known him and that we all loved so much. He was a Blues Machine with an uncanny touch and style.

Man, this is the best thing Peter Green ever did. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! From a 55 year old plastic businessman, bu a hipppie at heart and this song brings back my best memories of FM before they came out with that pop crap starting with Rumors. And to no include him when FM was inducted in he R&R hall of Fame, makes me even more angry and why I refuse to listen to anything after Welch left.

Ihave this version on an album and it truly is one of thee finest ever. PG was really starting to feel the demons I think when he wrote this. And to all the Judas Priest fans - No Offence, but they don't even come remotely close to this dude when he's working his magic!! JP sound sanitised and lacking the soul of Greeny.

Outstanding. And to YouTube or whomever holds the copyright on this: contact me and name the price. Let's just get this over with.
Everyone should be able to hear this on demand. It's better than the original recording.

@sam19851 Many thanks for upload.....peters Greens greatest work was short but Iconic.
What happened to peters incredible backing guitarist, Danny Kerwin....Fleetwood Mac dumped him and he slept on the streets for years. Now in a Hostel, I heard. What a bunch of money grabbing shits...not there to help out the musicians who made them multi-millionar's. Exactly what Peter forsaw and was against.

Didn't Hendrix say that Peter Green was the best guitarist he saw on his first tour of England? That says it all. Great stuff.

Actually there is a BBC recording of some reporter asking JH "how does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world" he answered ask Phil Keaggy (Glass Harp}

Yes your right, i believe its some Greek guitarist. The myth is that he says " Rory Gallagher " i often see that quote come up when in fact it was someone practically unknown to the public.

Glass Harp hails from the Youngstown Ohio area. Videos are available on youtube.

There's also one when Hendrix is asked that and he says, "You'll have to ask Lenny Breau. I think that was on Johnny Carson or Dick Cavett. This is a cool version of Manalishi, btw.

the Priest version is truly great but then so is this. they are just different. Priest made it a great rock song too, just like they did with j baez's diamonds and rust and spooky tooth's better by you, better than me. you can't really compare. but then I am obviously biased coz i adore judas priest, haha

does anyone think that page's solo in achilles' last stand wad inspired by green's (3:00- 5:00)? it was weird hearing them back to back- everything from the chord changes to their phrasing, tone, mood, etc...

Green was a big influence on Page - Black Dog is based Oh Well (Page admitted), Stairway to Heaven = Oh Well Part2?
johnhors 2 years ago
John Paul Jones wrote Black Dog.
davidelrond 2 years ago
He may have the credit, but in the interview I saw Page stated that the guitar and vocal exchange idea came from Oh Well
johnhors 2 years ago
@johnhors
Actually Stairway is mostly taken from "Taurus" by Spirit whom Zep as the New Yardbirds warmed up for on numerous occasions. Do a youtube search

@djmikio yes you are right, Brian Matthews on Radio 2 played the Spirit song a few weeks ago and mentioned that it inspired Led Zep.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
There are a few good ones about who'll be regarded as classics in 10-20 years.... The killers, Kings of Leon, Oasis (or are they already regarded as classics) The Libertines, Razorlight.....and there are a few more but there arnt many!!!

@Naybot9 weep all you want...priest did it because they know its a good song and they did a great job...i like peter green's twisted guitar ideas but it was more refined in priest...different bands...

I did say I thought this was better.I like the erie quality and the feel.also said this was better. yes i like priest better because Im more into metal but i did give fwm credit where credit is due.If you don't like metal. fine but I wouldnt call it shit music. alot of great muscians are involved in metal.I like the harder edge of priest version .but I like the spookie feel of this
smithdsmit 2 years ago
the judas priest version rocks harder.I like it better(sorry)but fwm ads and erie vibe to it. paints a scary picture in your head.this is actully better. im just more into metal

let me rephrase...'im just more into shit music' is what you should have said, how can compare the judas shit version to this? the judas priest version is probably the shitest song ive ever heard in my life

I just like the real deal, todays music is souless meaningless shit, just my opinion, thats all, no one is asking you to agree with me. You obviously cant handle the fact that someone has an opinion different from yours.
JAYROX1969 2 years ago
depends on what u like, you obviously havent strayed far from what you either grew up on or what you like now, and are narrow-minded, thats something thats hard to handle for me...or really any musician
polock2112 2 years ago
I listen to a hell of a lot of new music, hoping that it will affect me in the way that that the legends like Peter Green do, so its not a case of being narrow minded, the music has to do something for me and im afraid most of the modern bands cannot do it for me. Lets agree to disagree.
JAYROX1969 2 years ago
do you listen to heavy stuff? or more progressive stuff? or jazz? lol..or just a rock guy? cause if you just like rock i understand your point.
polock2112 2 years ago
