I have always liked 'Peter Green's' Fleetwood Mac - I still have the cassettes as well. A great Blues band. I still liked their soft rock years as well. I was telling people about Albatross long before 'Fleetwood Mac' became 'popular'. Hers to real music.
Fucking amazing song. How could he possibly have come up with this? It probably took him a couple of hours at most, but it alone is worth more than anything I (or anyone reading this) will ever hope to accomplish. But he didnt just do it once, he's got about 20 equally amazing songs. Best musician on earth? Maybe not, but Defiantly my favorite.
@IceCubeJohnson Theres a documentary about Peter Green here on You Tube,in it he says this song is about his then Girlfriend and the verse"Dont turn your back on me",is about him turning his back on her in bed!!Genius!!
so thats five years before they recorded their best album!
man that must burn your ass!
lol
vastly different music from the different lineups - and for sure if i was stuck in an elevator with lindsay or stevie i'd prolly chew my own arm off to have something to hit them with in order to stop them whining about how hard their lives are, but the mid 70's lineup made vastly better records.
@naughtyhorse WRONG! I saw Fleetwood over a dozen times in the seventies, they always sounded great. The albums that became hits were com mercial, and even if as you say they were 'better records', that only speaks to mainstream sensibilities. Nice sentiment about the 'arm chewing', though.
Thank God for John Mayall, puttin guys like him to work when they were young. Clapton, John Mcvie, Peter Green, Jack Bruce, Check out Mayalls, Lookin Back LP.

just one other thought,Savoy Brown was very blusey and the members got more into mainstream with "Foghat".they put out about 12 LP's and i bet almost no one knows who they are.there stuff is all good including some R&B covers.
Having heard Santana's version of this song------which is pretty good, actually-----I think that Peter and irwin and Spencer really nailed the song the 1st time around.
Santana,s version is great but Peter Greens the boss its a pity he could not have heald his head together a bit longer and we would have had many more iconic ground breaking songs. Who the fcuk is going to remember justin bieber or rebbeca black songs in 40 years time
This song is so smooth, chilly and just fine. I can't explain why Santana earned so much credit for chopping this masterwork to pieces with a mambo bell.
Beautiful song, so deep and full of blues. People will never understand what is real music. This was uploaded 3 years ago and has only 100 comments, while some rebbeca black or justin bieber songs are uploaded this year and in less than a half month they have thousand of comments and billion of views.
Yes no one these days anyways.. its all about fake beats and dance music, its really sad that some people cant tell what true talent and music is. By the looks of how its going.. it appears to be getting alot worse aswell, Maybe one day people will learn to respect straight feeling and intensity of a man his voice and his guitar.. I sure hope that day will come soon
@Thrasholocaust the real reason is the music industry has always been run by the people who decide who will be a star and who will play at the corner tavern.hype is what its all about and of course people need to feel entertained.these are "sheeple" then there are those who disregard that approach and look deep for talent and meaning in what they ingest.i feel this music and i never knew about it when it was current.but i love it now.Ten Years After was another sub-terranion group,
@Thrasholocaust no one knows how greatpetergreen is and the real story of his creation of fleetwood mac . they should come back and rock the world with mick,spencer,kirwan,vito,mcvie,perfect,weston,bob welch,stevie nicks,lindsey Buckingham who is the most talented finger player in the world. It sounds like he is playing 2 guitars at the same time. Give them the respect and credit when you play there songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i had john mayall and the blues breakers vinyl record and i really noticed how badass pete was in the supernatural sustaining that e forever man i was like who is this cat and found out all i could
the mac never got any better than this :) with peter green leading the way, the band became a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. songs like "black magic woman" prove this.
Between in that and next fleetwood is almoust 10 years sadly!Nomore Peter just American ways and good life and wifes and kids...fucking great life,,, says fuck of
This IS FLEETWOOD MAC!!! Compare this to Bob Welch era FM, or the LB/SN years. The Carlos Santana version of this GREAT song was ruined. Actually seek "Roundhouse Fleetwood Mac". That is the best "Black Magic Woman".
FUCK YES this IS the best version. The original always is. Why do you think Carlos dug it so much that he had to cover it? Carlos paid "homage" to Peter Green by covering it.
I don't like to compare people but how can you say Santanas' version is better. Santana said the song is perfect the way it is and played it note for note.
@boutsiqueen This is the original, however the cover by Santana is totally the best.
"Black Magic Woman" is a song written by Peter Green that first appeared as a Fleetwood Mac single in various countries in 1968, subsequently appearing on the 1969 Fleetwood Mac compilation albums English Rose (US) and The Pious Bird of Good Omen (UK). It became a classic hit by Santana and sung by Gregg Rolie in 1970,.
Whoa. I knew this wasn't an original Santana tune, but I didn't know until just now who and how awesome the original composers/performers were. Rock on! Oh wait, you're all in your 60s now... Fuck it, rock on!
@itsnotinthisbox then you would be correct. peter green did indeed write it. an d in my opinion this song could be rejuvinated once again if peter green would team up with the Lady Gaga and do a remake of it. just my opinion. KISSES!!
Jesus! what a band Fleetwood Mac were with Pete in the line up! This is a helluva good gig - wish I'd been there. As BB said of Pete, "That's my boy!" And that drum and bass rhythm section is second to none proving my theory that good rock should not merely rock but swing and bounce too. To hear these guys at the top of their game is pure magic!
try this song now and it would be slaughtered by jay mcnizzle dizzle fizzle feat. some other bunghole. Im happy for the ones that find it in 2000-2010 cause I couldn't stomach any of it.
It kind of sucks that I heard Santanas version 10,000 times before I discovered the 67-70 period of FMac. I grew up thinking that was a Santana orig. Ive been schooled since thank god!!
yeh someone said that BMW and the Supernatural are similar think there both in Dm but have the A (?) note in there i think, its a weird progression, like cream white room or tales of brave ulysses its that Dm, C, Bflat kinda thing. where does this come from?any clues?i cant seem to attribute it to any of the delta guys but maybe i just havent heard it yet, musicologists get back to me, cheers
@dreed007 supernatural came abt when he was in the bluesbreakers. black magic woman was during fleetwood mac. but i do know where ur coming from... he prob used the same progression and changed it around. supernatural's eerie as hell...but black magic's like some sorta hypnotic trance...still, awesome stuffs both songs
@dreed007 Supernatural was 1967 (Bluesbreakers' Hard Road album). BMW was a Fleetwood Mac single in 1968, then on their 1969 compilation albums (English Rose-US/The Pious Bird of Good Omen-UK). BMW was a hit for Santana in 1970.
I don't know... who would argue that Peter Green did not influence Carlos Santana? Carlos covered "Black Magic Woman" and claimed in an interview that he "took it to another level". Even if he had taken the cover to another level, that would not amount to an outright denial that he was influenced by Peter Green. If you cover someone else's song, you are hard put to argue that you are not influenced by the original artist. So who is making a statement like that?
@reubenvabner0 Santana merely took it to another genre (added Latin influence). He had a hit with it and made the money; why did he have to be arrogant about it?
@nintendonut100 Sorry dude, Santana's version is an interpretation, his phrasing is completely different. This absolutely rocks it though. It belongs to Green.
@herndonrobertk This is beautiful - the sound Peter got with just a Les Paul and a Fender amp (no effects) was just amazing (you can understand why Carlos latched onto to this song)
@herndonrobertk I think he didn´t use Fender amps... It´s Marshall JTM-45 and Gibson Les Paul Standard 59... The Genius Peter Green... God save him...
@LEmygdio I think another poster made mention of the Fender amp. I would have assumed Green used a British amp at that time. It's all good man. It seems we all enjoy Peter Green's sound!
right so like the solos n that, whats he doing there?its like dm pentatonic but has this mysterious 'latin' quality that i just cant suss out even with my big sussing stick
Black magic woman was the last song peter performed with Fleetwood mac in new york and that was after he was druged by the germans.
I heard that in that concert he played this song for 4 hours and played his hear out. That was the last performace of his career before going to mental hostpital. I feel for him, bloody germans druged him.
Check out "the Peter Green Story" 12 part youtube before it gets taken off again. It will answer alot of questions. I saw them live at Eagles auditorium, Seattle 1969. He is truly the best ever!
22 Dec 2009; I heard Mic Fleetwood interviewed on the wireless today. FMac are in Australia finishing a tour. He talked about this song, about Mr Green, and then they played it. Mic Fleetwood sounded so passionate about this, he tours with his blues band, now, doing lots of the early songs. Very respectful of Peter Green's influence, input etc. before drugs took hold. Wow, wish I had known of this before I saw FM in Sydney early December. Fantastic.
@NoviJimB - i have part 1 of the boston concerts as well. i also part 2 which is also great, particularly rattlesnake shake: 24 minutes of sheer brilliance from start to finish. quality-wise, parts 1 and 2 about equal. part 3 is harder to come by as the c.d wasn't available for long. i reckon the original line-up saved the best for last with this american tour from february 1970.
I think that part 3 is mostly the Jeremy Spencer 50s tribute type stuff - not too crazy about that personally. What I wouldn't give to be able to go back in time and see them on that tour, though. Green and Kirwan at their best. I bought part I years ago and forgot all about it. Broke it out after hearing some of the stuff posted here, and man am I glad I did. Black Magic Woman and Jumping at Shadows are just incredible, the rest ain't too shabby either.
@NoviJimB - i haven't heard part 3 yet but i will reserve my opinion until i get around to listening to it, if i ever do! i reckon it was peter green and danny kirwan that provided the guitar playing and that jeremy spencer only played elmore james stuff. without kirwan or someone like him, the band would never have broken from being a blues band strictly speaking. i agree, i would standing at the front row and cheering them on. not fussed about the later stuff, although i like stevie nicks.
Green is amazing on this- his tone, note selection ..feel . But its wasnt just him. without the Bass and Drums ( and Danny Ks work)this would only have 1/2 the impact. just listen to what happens on other covers of this song including Peter Greens own recordings later on. Fleetwoood and Mac are the essence of a great section. They didnt earn millions later on because they had a preety singer. Listen to the way that Macvie and Fleetwood swop the control of the beat in Go your own way for example
the album that this comes from Live at the Boston Tea Party Vol 3 is unbeleivable blues start to finish....there's also a really good vid on here of Dave Zito (Fleetwood Mac later) doing Peter Green's song....Let's remember folks....Peter Green wrote and recordedthis song b4 Santana.
My pleasure Pete. Green is one of my rock idols,not only for his super skills,but my belief he'd play for nothing on a street corner just to spread the gospel of the blues.
Carlos Santana - You can fuck right off!

I don't know... who would argue that Peter Green did not influence Carlos Santana? Carlos covered "Black Magic Woman" and claimed in an interview that he "took it to another level". Even if he had taken the cover to another level, that would not amount to an outright denial that he was influenced by Peter Green. If you cover someone else's song, you are hard put to argue that you are not influenced by the original artist. So who is making a statement like that?

@reubenvabner0 Santana merely took it to another genre (added Latin influence). He had a hit with it and made the money; why did he have to be arrogant about it?

@reubenvabner0 so that just makes Carlos an admitted Plagiarist a brilliant one but a plagiarist nonetheless he stole all his technique from Peter.

@nintendonut100 Sorry dude, Santana's version is an interpretation, his phrasing is completely different. This absolutely rocks it though. It belongs to Green.

@herndonrobertk This is beautiful - the sound Peter got with just a Les Paul and a Fender amp (no effects) was just amazing (you can understand why Carlos latched onto to this song)
Thanks for posting.

@herndonrobertk I think he didn´t use Fender amps... It´s Marshall JTM-45 and Gibson Les Paul Standard 59... The Genius Peter Green... God save him...

@LEmygdio I think another poster made mention of the Fender amp. I would have assumed Green used a British amp at that time. It's all good man. It seems we all enjoy Peter Green's sound!

Black magic woman was the last song peter performed with Fleetwood mac in new york and that was after he was druged by the germans.
I heard that in that concert he played this song for 4 hours and played his hear out. That was the last performace of his career before going to mental hostpital. I feel for him, bloody germans druged him.

Check out "the Peter Green Story" 12 part youtube before it gets taken off again. It will answer alot of questions. I saw them live at Eagles auditorium, Seattle 1969. He is truly the best ever!

22 Dec 2009; I heard Mic Fleetwood interviewed on the wireless today. FMac are in Australia finishing a tour. He talked about this song, about Mr Green, and then they played it. Mic Fleetwood sounded so passionate about this, he tours with his blues band, now, doing lots of the early songs. Very respectful of Peter Green's influence, input etc. before drugs took hold. Wow, wish I had known of this before I saw FM in Sydney early December. Fantastic.

This is
'Live at Boston Tea Party'
from february 5-7, 1970.
The greatest performance
of FM I've ever heard.
It was my firs live album of them
and I was totally shocked.
It was evening but I din't go to sleep . . .
Listing to 1st CD of this live take me whole night.
Regards for all Greeny's fans !

The Boston Tea Party is a must have if you're a big FM-with-Green-and-Kirwan fan. I have part I, with this and Jumping At Shadows, etc. fantastic.
NoviJimB 2 years ago 3
@NoviJimB - i have part 1 of the boston concerts as well. i also part 2 which is also great, particularly rattlesnake shake: 24 minutes of sheer brilliance from start to finish. quality-wise, parts 1 and 2 about equal. part 3 is harder to come by as the c.d wasn't available for long. i reckon the original line-up saved the best for last with this american tour from february 1970.

@aewd1980
I think that part 3 is mostly the Jeremy Spencer 50s tribute type stuff - not too crazy about that personally. What I wouldn't give to be able to go back in time and see them on that tour, though. Green and Kirwan at their best. I bought part I years ago and forgot all about it. Broke it out after hearing some of the stuff posted here, and man am I glad I did. Black Magic Woman and Jumping at Shadows are just incredible, the rest ain't too shabby either.
NoviJimB 2 years ago 2
@NoviJimB - i haven't heard part 3 yet but i will reserve my opinion until i get around to listening to it, if i ever do! i reckon it was peter green and danny kirwan that provided the guitar playing and that jeremy spencer only played elmore james stuff. without kirwan or someone like him, the band would never have broken from being a blues band strictly speaking. i agree, i would standing at the front row and cheering them on. not fussed about the later stuff, although i like stevie nicks.

sockwizardman, so true. For me Fleetwood + mac are one of the top five rythm sections ever, period.

Oh should give it a deeper thought but quickly I would mention: Entwistle - Moon, Bruce - Baker,
Jones - Bonham, Mc vie - Fleetwood, Lee - Peart. I would mention others, like Hammond - Bunker, Squire - Bruford which I like a lot too.

Green is amazing on this- his tone, note selection ..feel . But its wasnt just him. without the Bass and Drums ( and Danny Ks work)this would only have 1/2 the impact. just listen to what happens on other covers of this song including Peter Greens own recordings later on. Fleetwoood and Mac are the essence of a great section. They didnt earn millions later on because they had a preety singer. Listen to the way that Macvie and Fleetwood swop the control of the beat in Go your own way for example

My pleasure Pete. Green is one of my rock idols,not only for his super skills,but my belief he'd play for nothing on a street corner just to spread the gospel of the blues.
Totally committed to the art.
