Absolutely love this clip by the way. Downloaded it a couple of weeks ago and still watching it every night. See Danny cooling his fingers at 1:53? He was burning up the frets!
Even now, I have to take care of record of purple jacket. I am around 30 years ago, was young, my friends know this song was not even a human. And cool, I think even now. Japan is the housewife of the 50s.
The only time I wish I was a few years older is when someone says they saw this line-up. What I wouldn't do! Can't beat the old pubs with live music and a good atmosphere.
It's great that there is at last a good version of this video posted. Thanks skydog46.
These blokes — and before them John Mayall (w either Peter Green or Eric Clapton), Cream, Zoot Money (w Andy Summers), Yardbirds, Who, etc. we'd see 'em on a regular basis close-up in scout huts and rooms above shops in W London during the 60s. An occasional broken string never seemed to bother any of them. They'd work round it to give a good performance and change the string before the next number.
PURE CLASS, Listening to this puts into perspective that Clapton wasnt and still isnt in the same leauge as these two when it comes to guitar playing class. If you listen to the stuff Green and Kirwan were playing at this time and then listen to the stuff Clapton was playing theres no comparison, Clapton wasnt as good.Abeit he his a great guitarist but these two were above great
@TheLuxardens Don't take it wrong, I'm not a Clapton ''fan'' but I have to say that his 1966 stuff with John Mayall & The Bluesbreaker was some serious shit (just think of his cover of Hideaway)
@TheLuxardens I wouldn't go that far and say "Clapton wasn't that good". Those early morning jams with Duane during the Layla sessions were beyond great. Greeny was great and so was Kirwan, but slowhand is at least their equal. We tend to belittle Clapton as a guitarist because he made those yucky ballads and let himself be produced by Phil Collins. But Clapton was is still a great guitarist.
@boyvale This material has been obscured for almost forty years, espcecially in America! Compared to what Clapton was doing with the end of Cream, and Blind Faith in 1969, this is worthy of attention!
Only the UK and European fans,with a small section of hippies from the US, know the real Fleetwood Mac. While EC was trying to become another version of "The Band", Peter Green was still playing proper slow electric blues. Bluesbreaker Clapton died when he abused heroin '70-'72!
Danny needs to ALWAYS have his name in the list of the greatest guitarists of the '60s. Right there with Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Page, Peter Green, Mike Bloomfield, Duane Allman, Carlos Santana, Dickey Betts, Terry Kath, Robby Krieger, and gosh who else?
@pumazpawz Aw yes, how could I forget Mick Taylor. Definitely one of the best from the '60s! By far, the BEST "guitar era" for The Stones (1969-1974). I know a guy who loves nothing but the Ron Wood era Stones and to me, he's a total poseur when it comes to being a REAL Stones fan. A TRUE Stones fan usually thinks that the Ron Wood era, for the most part, sucks!
@MattHatter Surely the Stones are mainly about Keefs rhythm guitar playing. I agree about Mick Taylor though. I love Can You Hear Me Knocking from Sticky Fingers which has Keef playing at is best with a gorgeous solo from Mick Taylor at the end (with a really nice sax solo in between).
@MattHatter The Stones had their best period musically when they had Mick Taylor. Ronnie can play but certainly not in the same league as Mick. But Ron was hired not because of his playing but because he can hang out and keep up with Keef.
@boyvale Oh yeah. To me, Ron Wood was hired because he resembled The Stones' image, could let cigarettes dangle out of his mouth and all that. Aside from the "Some Girls" album, I could really care less about the Ron Wood era of The Stones. Nothing even comes close to "Let It Bleed," "Sticky Fingers," or "Exile On Main St."
I think Danny Kirwan is highly underrated. The dude is only like 19 in this video, and I can say, it is damn hard for anyone to look good beside green, especially at such a young age. It is a damn shame he doesn't get more credit. 5 years is a century for a musician to change and get better. He is one of those guitar players that I can totally perceive every emotion he is transferring flawlessly.... it is really cool haha! I love it when musicians can really bring you into their atmosphere.
I never got into blues music...for some reason I just didnt get it. Nothing about it appealed to me . But that all changed the minuate i heard DANNY KIRWAN sing !
thank you peter greens fleetwood mac you made a Blues...lover..outta...me.!
i wept and prayed 35 years for syd barrett, and will keep at it for danny. we can almost reach the light in his eyes . once upon a time danny was the brightest superstar of all. perhaps his collapse was just a precursor to the supernova to come . pray for him, his son,and all he loves and who love him. god, please bless him
Only the very best can recover from a broken string, or maybe it's like a fine club player told me one night when that same thing happened to me, 'aww don't sweat it. Anyone can play one of those dayum things with all the strings on it and in tune. Real pickers never miss a beat !"
@ZazzOffGuitars Yeah. Saw Elvin Bishop do it (years and years ago) What makes it memorable is because he had also just torn his pants jumping off the stage during the same song . Then a string pops. He just laughed it off and kept on pickin.
Wow, Audience sitting quietly. Not seen that in 40 years!. Takes yer back!. An amazing piece of blues guitar work, Danny especially, and he's enjoying it soooo much!. So many bands just sit back and play this kind of stuff without really bothering to put everything into it. Even John McVie does a great job whilst looking like he's right off the planet; I bet he wishes he still looked as young as that today!.
I'm a HUGE Dicky Betts & Duane Allman fan... & this is worthy of a jam session between the three!!! (by the way... I'm 26) A lot of ppl say you can still find this kind of music today, I disagree... you can't! There's still some good music today, but not like this!!!
@ms825g hey mate u r completly right, im in a british heavy blues band, and we love the green era of fleetwood mac and we also love duane allman, betts, cream etc and we really want to bring this kind of music band, we kno it wont be as good as the masters here, but we r going to give it a go! we belive this music shud get the recognition it deserves!!
thanks skydog46, for uploading this. i can't get enough of early fleetwood mac. i never knew they had been a blues band till now. why didn't they stay this way?
I watched it twice before I caught the string busting loose. Great to see how he adjusts w/o missing a beat. What a great talent. They're all great together. Glad to find this on YouTube! Best service on th internet.
Indeed almost a million views. That's not bad for a video starring Danny Kirwan:) I have the feeling people are discovering this overlooked genius, with the sexy, haunting vibrato right now. In Like It This Way the mirror effects he does with Peter Green play a leading part, like they were spiritually joined at the hip, although they had completely different guitar tones.
Imagine Mick Fleetwood and John McVee cashing all of those huge checks and living that high life all the while playing in a great pop band and wishing that they were still backing that monsterously great blues band...
I've heard a lot of versions of this piece and it's kinda funny that Danny Kirwan is at his best when he's in trouble. This is THE version of Like it This Way. He was just a kd back then. Amazing. What kind of equipment is he using on this one? The sound is astonishing.
Awesome.I work as a chef in different places in London and one place was a rehab centre where one of the guys in there was Danny Kirwan.Very humble and polite but I think the chances of him playing guitar againare very slim,such a shame.
This would have been a great video if the cameraman hadn't been such a dufus. He's got the camera pointed at Fleetwood and McVie when Peter Green and Danny Kirwan are tearing it up. I think he showed Mr. Green, the founder of the group, maybe twice. Too bad !
does anyone know if there is a dvd or video of the whole concert? i can only find the two songs world keep on turning and like it this way,, does anyone if the whole concert was released???
@Yenwop121 i don't know if they actually played a full set or not , but check out "I'm Worried" also here on youtube and that song at least is from the same concert
Words can't even describe how incredibly amazing this performance is! Peter Green's sweet guitar sounds incredibly paired to Danny's. And Danny was so into his playing that it looks like he's fucking the shit outta his guitar and doing it the RIGHT way! In short...Lindsey Buckingham who?
I cant help it, but i like the male voices better in these early songs of fleetwoodmac, later the whole style changed and so did my opion on this band ;-(
@Mastahboys that would of been hard since danny kirwan went mad and got committed, peter green went mad.....and got committed, and poor little Jerry went mad and joined the children of god! dont do drugs kids!!! or at least not with these guys :)
tosh as fuckin shit. back in the day these guys woulnd't fuckin play. they just come out and rock your high as into a different world. miss them '60s and I wasn't even there
great mic'ing with this. has a great old blues sound to it. i do see a couple of Sunns behind Mick, but those may be for the bass player who's name escapes me at the moment.
Good lord, this is incredible stuff. Incredible guitar tone. Is that a Fender head of some sort sitting on a pair of Marshall cabs? Is Green playing through a Fender too?
@HSECMAN I another video from the same show you can see some blond Fender cabs stacked behind Green. Great sound. At 1:32 and again at 2:23 Green hits some killer notes with great vibrato and perfect tone that showcases his tastefull playing. Too bad the camera man did not show him doing that.
Yep, it's a silverface Bandmaster Reverb behind Kirwin into a big silverface cab. As someone else mentioned, Green has several Fenders including a blonde of some sort.
'danny kirwans' enthusiasm is amazing!! pity there wasn't a few around like him today!! instead we have kareoke style singers, being groomed for the x factor, very very sad
Another great guitar duo from rock history was Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner, who played with Lou Reed, most famously on one of the best live albums ever recorded, Rock n Roll Animal. Check out the tunes Rock n roll and Sweet Jane for starters. Man did they ever cook.
@TheHabsfan1993 nowhere near the calibre , funny i havent heard of those you mentioned ,sorry for the ignorance lol , different styles early fleetwood mac played british blues , weve always got clapton, beck ,page,and rory gallager for back up ;o)
@TheHabsfan1993 Peter green is always NEAR EVERYONE when you start comparisons, this is a poor quality, but if you listen to albatross, you hear that Peter Green is one of the best, EVER
@TheHabsfan1993 I'd say I disagree except for Allman/Betts. Duane and Dicky were probably the most insane guitar duo to ever play together. Their stuff was so complex, yet so melodic. I don't think it could be duplicated.
I never get tired of watching this tune. God, think of what they two of them could have done if they had not been damaged goods. As good or better than Allman-Betts? Maybe. And Danny K was just a kid...
Danny bust's a string in this. Did you notice.? Doe's he miss a note or get phased.? "NO". He just shifts into another key.....'Fuck' the bust string. Business as usual.
This is genius, IMO...Danny Kirwan just keeps on with going as if nothing happened. Peter Green & Kirwan on a rapport which is telepathic. The best guitar duo ever to grace the planet.
@Magicquickfingers If you look at about 1.50 the string brakes and Danny brush's it aside with his left/fretting hand.
There is no debate about him breaking the string as Peter Green does a solo number after it .."while Danny changes his string I will play a number I haven't played in a long time.." (not exact quote).. Peter then played.."World keeps on Turning.." solo. It is a great improvisation by Peter, who makes his "Les Paul " guitar sound accoustic. Look it up.
@Kristopful Yeah, i think he actually smirked about it when it happened. I used to hve a 58 RI les paul similar to that and i had the same problem , always broke the E or B plus when youre bending like that, i mean... Its like Buddy Guy said " you might go outta tune or break a string bending wild like that but if you gotta do it, do it, thats the Buddy Guy!" Anyway they sound incredible for the style, wish i still had it , now I have a 61 Les paul/SG RI which sounds the same basically
@Kristopful i know what ya sayin . . bu he dosen't change key.! am just plays it in a different place.!:P an octive down. . . .pretty smart for a god.! :P
@Kristopful Danny busts his 1st string, the E-string. He can live without it. The riff does'nt incorporate the 1st string at all. He can live w/o the 1st string through the solos as well. But, he did it so well. Hardly noticeable at all. I hold the young Danny as one of the top five guitarists i Britain during the late sixties. God bless you Danny.
@Kristopful he does not change key man, he just plays without that string, usually on blues songs like this (yes, "blues") key does not change , it remains on g or g sharp i dont remember right now. Still though... Kirwan is a Shinning from heaven. Danny regresa y Peter me has dado todo de vuelta.
@Kristopful - I agree , Peter Green and Danny Kirwin are the greatest guitar duo of all times . was 16 and we called the Fillmore west to find out if the rumours were true that Peter Green had just left the band and they confirmed . were bummed - I knew 2 people who saw this band and just to hear them discribe it was wonderous . If I had it to do over , we would have gone anyway and seen the kiln house period . 5 years later I found out that Nicks &buckingham who had gone to my high shcool...
I think we are all missing the point that although PG is never going to be that guitar player we see in those early vids he actually sings BETTER than he ever did
been getting into early FM recently..... My dads got everything they've ever done on vinyl!!!! Its a pleasure to hear such music.... where musicians play with acute technique and an unhinged passion for the instrument. Can u imagine hearing this ish for the 1st time... boy... such a pity there's no one like this today???
Green and Kirwan what a team, not to mention McVie and Fleetwood driving you down the road. But everywhere I go on utube there is always somebody who has to give it the old "better than Clapton" riff. And it is on every guitar video on Youtube, they bash Clapton, degrade him, try to dismiss his contribution to blues. But it does show ONE thing, there is a reason, Clapton set a benchmark, period.
@cutsbothways Clapton set the benchmark with Mayall, end of story. Yet Peter Green, Rory Gallagher, and Mick Taylor (outside of the Stones) have NEVER received the accolades they deserved, compared with Eric Clapton. Are you afraid what people post maybe true!?!?
Peter Green should sue Carlos Santana for millions!! If you think Carlos Santana didn't take Peter Green's "The Supernatural", and make it a guitar style in 1968, you are not paying attention
@strangeones4 Years later Carlos Santana in the US named Jimi Hendrix, and John Coltrane as direct influences (BullS). Yet four years ago Carlos Santana admitted that he was influenced by Peter Green for a BBC documentary on Peter Green. Peter Green allowed Carlos Santana to bastardize "Black Magic Woman", 4/70. As I said, Peter Green needs to be paid!!!
@strangeones4 Santana is a wanker. No doubt he is a classy player but his whole stuff is about copying Peter Green....shame on you Carlos for not giving the credit to your old and generous pal. That documentary is great, have seen it few times...What a band what a performance!

Words can't even describe how incredibly amazing this performance is! Peter Green's sweet guitar sounds incredibly paired to Danny's. And Danny was so into his playing that it looks like he's fucking the shit outta his guitar and doing it the RIGHT way! In short...Lindsey Buckingham who?

Good lord, this is incredible stuff. Incredible guitar tone. Is that a Fender head of some sort sitting on a pair of Marshall cabs? Is Green playing through a Fender too?
I'm going to have to find a recording of this.

@1Doz Fender head and fender cabs. cant see what green uses.
HSECMAN 9 months ago
@HSECMAN I another video from the same show you can see some blond Fender cabs stacked behind Green. Great sound. At 1:32 and again at 2:23 Green hits some killer notes with great vibrato and perfect tone that showcases his tastefull playing. Too bad the camera man did not show him doing that.

Yep, it's a silverface Bandmaster Reverb behind Kirwin into a big silverface cab. As someone else mentioned, Green has several Fenders including a blonde of some sort.

Another great guitar duo from rock history was Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner, who played with Lou Reed, most famously on one of the best live albums ever recorded, Rock n Roll Animal. Check out the tunes Rock n roll and Sweet Jane for starters. Man did they ever cook.

@TheHabsfan1993 I'd say I disagree except for Allman/Betts. Duane and Dicky were probably the most insane guitar duo to ever play together. Their stuff was so complex, yet so melodic. I don't think it could be duplicated.

Danny bust's a string in this. Did you notice.? Doe's he miss a note or get phased.? "NO". He just shifts into another key.....'Fuck' the bust string. Business as usual.
This is genius, IMO...Danny Kirwan just keeps on with going as if nothing happened. Peter Green & Kirwan on a rapport which is telepathic. The best guitar duo ever to grace the planet.

@Kristopful
when does he bust the string?
Magicquickfingers 11 months ago
@Magicquickfingers If you look at about 1.50 the string brakes and Danny brush's it aside with his left/fretting hand.
There is no debate about him breaking the string as Peter Green does a solo number after it .."while Danny changes his string I will play a number I haven't played in a long time.." (not exact quote).. Peter then played.."World keeps on Turning.." solo. It is a great improvisation by Peter, who makes his "Les Paul " guitar sound accoustic. Look it up.
Kristopful 11 months ago
@Kristopful Yeah, i think he actually smirked about it when it happened. I used to hve a 58 RI les paul similar to that and i had the same problem , always broke the E or B plus when youre bending like that, i mean... Its like Buddy Guy said " you might go outta tune or break a string bending wild like that but if you gotta do it, do it, thats the Buddy Guy!" Anyway they sound incredible for the style, wish i still had it , now I have a 61 Les paul/SG RI which sounds the same basically

Key/Scale.? I think most people know what i'm talking about. The point is he does not get phased at all by the bust string.
Kristopful 7 months ago
@Kristopful Danny busts his 1st string, the E-string. He can live without it. The riff does'nt incorporate the 1st string at all. He can live w/o the 1st string through the solos as well. But, he did it so well. Hardly noticeable at all. I hold the young Danny as one of the top five guitarists i Britain during the late sixties. God bless you Danny.

@Kristopful he does not change key man, he just plays without that string, usually on blues songs like this (yes, "blues") key does not change , it remains on g or g sharp i dont remember right now. Still though... Kirwan is a Shinning from heaven. Danny regresa y Peter me has dado todo de vuelta.

@Kristopful - I agree , Peter Green and Danny Kirwin are the greatest guitar duo of all times . was 16 and we called the Fillmore west to find out if the rumours were true that Peter Green had just left the band and they confirmed . were bummed - I knew 2 people who saw this band and just to hear them discribe it was wonderous . If I had it to do over , we would have gone anyway and seen the kiln house period . 5 years later I found out that Nicks &buckingham who had gone to my high shcool...

Green and Kirwan what a team, not to mention McVie and Fleetwood driving you down the road. But everywhere I go on utube there is always somebody who has to give it the old "better than Clapton" riff. And it is on every guitar video on Youtube, they bash Clapton, degrade him, try to dismiss his contribution to blues. But it does show ONE thing, there is a reason, Clapton set a benchmark, period.
cutsbothways 1 year ago
@cutsbothways Clapton set the benchmark with Mayall, end of story. Yet Peter Green, Rory Gallagher, and Mick Taylor (outside of the Stones) have NEVER received the accolades they deserved, compared with Eric Clapton. Are you afraid what people post maybe true!?!?
Peter Green should sue Carlos Santana for millions!! If you think Carlos Santana didn't take Peter Green's "The Supernatural", and make it a guitar style in 1968, you are not paying attention
strangeones4 1 year ago
@strangeones4 Years later Carlos Santana in the US named Jimi Hendrix, and John Coltrane as direct influences (BullS). Yet four years ago Carlos Santana admitted that he was influenced by Peter Green for a BBC documentary on Peter Green. Peter Green allowed Carlos Santana to bastardize "Black Magic Woman", 4/70. As I said, Peter Green needs to be paid!!!
strangeones4 1 year ago
@strangeones4 Santana is a wanker. No doubt he is a classy player but his whole stuff is about copying Peter Green....shame on you Carlos for not giving the credit to your old and generous pal. That documentary is great, have seen it few times...What a band what a performance!
