My father was a Real blues player in those days, and used to say how the British were stealing our Black-Blues and selling it back to people who are too racist to listen to the original players. How right he was. Nothing has changed.Sad
@randyreal574 The word music comes from the greek word μουσική and thus music was created by greeks thousands of years ago.Thus the whole world stole music from white greeks right??No! music and blues music in particular doesnt belong to anyone.It belongs to every living breathing person on this planet.The black people should be proud that created blues music and white people immitated it so much
@dmantsio .I am white and i am no racist in having blues guitarists that were born black as idols such as jimi hendrix,bb king Albert King etc, but i love Peter Green, Paul Kossof, Leslie West too everyone contributed in the world blues-rock scene in their own way
He's singing about a man who wishes he was dead & I reckon the gut wrenching solo is totally appropriate especially given Green's own thoughts at the time. An absolute masterpiece
Pardon me farting in church but by Greeny's impeccable standards that solo is way over the top. He is overplaying! Admit it. Accept it. Compare with "Love That Burns" or "I Loved Another Woman" or "Watch Out" from the Chicago Sessions album and you can't help but agree. Nice to hear it though. It's always a pleasure.
@ab77bluesYes I agree that the studio solos are tight & more succinct but these were times of long live solos (drums, guitar, bass). Nearly every band did extended solos that allowed them to let loose & really do the blues justice. Additionally they were not limited by relatively short length of an LP record. Rory Gallagher's band Taste, for example had to spread solos over 2 sides of the album. You actually had to turn over the record to finish the song. Classic!
@ab77blues You play the blues as you feel them. Anything can impact on the feeling you impart to your playing. You and I don't know what he'd been through that day or what his mood was. All I know is that when I hear this solo every single note sounds sincere and deeply felt.
@BackToTheBlues Oh no doubt, no doubt. I wouldn't dream of questioning his sincerity or feeling, just that by his own high standards this seems a bit histrionic. This was a style he was developing in his last months before his breakdown, work in progress, you can hear it on the BBC In concert recordings from around the same time where he plays a magnificent "Green Manalishi". It's one of the great tragedies that he succumbed to mental illness just as he was making such a breakthrough.
Overplaying compared to Hendrix, Beck, Page, and Clapton!?!? This is the most structured overplaying I've heard from this era. There is a beginning, a middle, and an end. This is one of the most logical blues solos' you'll ever hear. Then there's Peter Green 4/1/70 in Stockholm Sweden. It crushes this solo.
What can you say to describe that? Unbelieveable - he only uses the blues pentatonic scale for about 95% of this! (thats five notes) - very few passing tones - the truth is this man is a musical genius who absorbed himself in the blues and just became the best at it. Bar none.
Greeny has been with me musically since the early days, he never left and this recording is perfect evidence that there was, is and never will be anyone even remotely like him. What makes this even more compelling that soon after this gig he submerged in Darkness, never to return to us........
i feel this unexplainable sound through my ears... tingling down my spine finding its way strait to my soul... if that is possible... music like is my escape from life.
There is a CD out called Fleetwood Mac, Dead Bust Blues. It contains live recorded material from the Warehouse in New Orleans. Jan 30th Feb 1st 1970. HIWATT records.
i listen to this song over and over again, sometimes minutes between each time, sometimes hours, and sometimes even weeks, but EVERY time, it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. simply wonderful playing and tone, peter must be the only guitar player who although not gone, is sadly missed...
Ive been a guitarist and blues fan for many years, I have NO idea how I went htis long and never heard of or payed attention to this guy, of course Ive heard of Fleetwood Mac and their heavy blues influences but I never payed much attention to them, Peter Green's story and playing is truly amazing though, this song is unbelievable !!
@TalluninchuDeff peter greenl on this one ,jeremy spencer did most of the slide work and danny kirwans vibrato gave him away - being slightly more pronounced than peters !
Talk about layin it all out. There are very few that can channel that kind of emotion into their music. Inevitably it's seems that they are the ones to die young, suffer personal anguish, loss etc. This is what the blues is all about. As well as a celebration of life.
I'm an old blues hound. Saw Peter Green and the Mac in '70 (or'71?)- Miami. There's nothing like this stuff since then, nothing. I'm glad to hear it again after all these years. TA
This is sensational. Several people have asked which album this track comes from with no replies, so I'll try asking the same question....ANY ONE OUT THERE KNOW WHICH ALBUM OR WHERE THIS TRACK CAN BE FOUND???
@Fensmiller this is a bootleg from the Warehouse New Orleans at the end of January 1970, its not easily available and we have to thank God for the brilliance of youtube for as long as it lasts that stuff like this can be accessed. This was a stage recording done by Owsley, the Dead's famous soundman. The 2 bands were on the same bill.
@kissyxander Anyone know if this was the same "Owsley" who was reputed to have made the best Acid ever produced, some years earlier? (I ask only for completeness of Context). If so, how Appropriate!!.
@Tornfreedom the very same. Its rumoured that at one point he was recording every Dead show AND the supporting acts. If true there are some astonishing tapes somewhere - of which this is only one!
@Fensmiller Yes it's from a bootleg album called Dead Bust Blues I bought mine off of the net. Just google Dead Bust Blues and some site that sells tons of bootlegs will appear.
This is brilliant. The way his guitar can make you feel the emotions behind his writing... it is unreal. It gives me the chills throughout my whole body..
The Greatest British Blues guitarist of all time and anyone who don't like it you know what to do is click in the box at the top and type in justin bieber. Peter Green is an insperation to all guitarists whether you are great or a beginner. We love you peter.
As stated earlier: "PG has always been humble, and knows he follows in the footsteps of many an underpaid and dead Delta bluesmen." He felt very badly about making money off of their efforts. However, when they have a roll call in the after life in years to come, PG will be one of the most requested lead guitarists.
Sung and played with so much honesty and unabated sorrow, it is a truly painful experience to listen to every exquisite note that Green allows to pour out from his heart and bleed its way through every solemn nuance of his guitar.
Simply breathe taking... 'I've Got A Mind To Give Up Living, All Over Again'
Its safe to say this one , the stockholm one and the filmore west are the greatest if not the most stunning pieces of guitar work in the history of blues guitar.. well guitar in genereal really haha.. To be this "One" with your guitar is amazing! the phrases he uses match exactly what he is trying to convey , to me that is sadness and beauty entwined. These 3 solos are actually terryifying to be honest hahaha
Look up the track "The End of the Game" from the album of the same name. This track is perhaps my favourite guitar work of all time. Imagine a big cat in the jungle, settling down before sleeping at night, with a hunter creeping up on him.
Listening to this in a terrible mood like I'm in will bring a man to tears. Though this is mind blowing i just cant finish it right now. It hurts. You can feel every once of pain and sorrow he puts into this...
I think what makes this song (and other Peter Green songs) so amazing is the expression in his playing, like his very being is seeping through his fingers and going into the guitar. It's a very rare, one in a million kind of talent to have. If you listen to Eddie Hazel's "Pray my soul", you can here it in his playing too. And even more, after this guitar solo of just pure raw emotion, Peter Green quietly says "thank you". Extremely talented and humble, a true musician.
Been a PGreen fan since a schoolboy in the late 60's and his music touches me the same way now as as it did then, and this is a beautifully constructed song with a great solo. Why? Because he's so obviously gifted, but unlike many guitarists, he's being honest and simple with the content and delivery, thats how we can relate to it. Using no gimmics, just reverb with the vol and tone controls and lets the Les Paul and him do the talking. Bit like Buchanan except our Pete's a Londoner.
His soul is going to dictate the notes, tone, sensibility, are all fair nor more nor less. Peter is just a different level than other blues guitarists can only dream
The people who understand what they are hearing when they hear Peter Green play guitar will never be able to fully put the feeling into words, yet I see a lot of people here trying to.
The music he made was inhuman, raw perfection. He yearns and cries through his guitar and I cannot sit still whenever I hear it. Thank God for Peter Green.
@colindavis5 Peter Green's music is all too human ,which is why it touches so many people so deeply .If it was inhuman ,no one could relate. As for your not being able to sit still, maybe you have Hemmorhoids!
Let's cherish that Peter Green is still alive. I'm sorry Gary Moore has passed, but he did sell the most famous 1959 Gibson Les Paul for personal financial gain. I will NEVER forgive him for that! Do you wonder how an "acid casualty" 60's rock star is still alive while a wanker guitarist pretender died prematurely?
@strangeones4 Re the guitar, it was a great shame, but sometimes needs must and Lord dont I know it. You dont own and play a guitar for that many years and sell it without a lot of heartache...
@kissyxander What angers me is that Gary Moore aquired one of the best 1959 Les Paul's ever produced for the price of his 1969 Gibson SG. Peter Green "gave" this guitar to a "friend". It's duly noted that Gary Moore recorded a tribute album (using THE '59 LP) to Peter Green in 1995, yet his tone was garbage. To achieve the perfect Peter Green tone, you need a Fender Dual Showman head with cab, either a Fender or Orange reverb box, and the famous guitar. If Moore used a Plexi-head= forgive!
@strangeones4 Instead Gary Moore used those crappy Marshall heads that were made for heavy metal. Even if they're tube amps, they weren't the old Plexi-head amps from the 60's, and early 70's. Fender was the best amp for the tone you are now hearing!! The tone you hear from this link is a Fender Dual Showman.
@strangeones4 I agree with a lot of what you say, however Greeny has used his share of Marshalls, Oranges and God knows what else down the years and to the same devastating effect. Its all in the fingers and the heart y'see...
Who cares, they all are great guitarist in they're own right. Personally I like Peter but so I like them all for what they do. I am just glad I have ears to listen to them play. We need to cherish them all because we are losing them slowly as we lost Gary Moore last week ( RIP)
The best aspect of Peter Green (with FM), is he loved to jam with any famous guitarist. He never saw it as a competition. He knew Beck, Page, and Clapton were scared of Jimi Hendrix. PG, and Danny Kirwan jammed with Jimi Hendrix in New York 1968. PG was unphased. Just listen to this solo!! It wasn't until the last US FM tour with Peter Green that he was able to jam with Joe Walsh. PG seeked out great guitarists. 11/70 with Duane Allman in New Orleans is a great example! He was THE BEST!
@huzzer060883 Look up Stockholm '70 (same song). Find "Worried Blues" San Francisco 1968. Search for "Rattlesnake Shake" Boston 1970 Vol. 2 in several parts. My favorite is "Sugar Mama Fleetwood Mac Amsterdam 1969". If you really want to hear Peter Green in raw form, search for "The Stumble Peter Green 1967". You'll know when you find it.
HaHA,love that"vorchiet".....Yeah,when it really comes down to it,the guitar is such an expressive instrument,if you av REALLY got the blues,it'll come out.....
What a JOKE that anybody could think this is "definately up there with Comfortably Numb!!" You have it all upside down if you think Dave could ever half of the soul and the spontaneity of Greeny's best playing.
I just don't see anyone ever playing like this again (unfortunetly) He IS wrenching the notes from his very soul. He gave everything he had. There are guys today who play blues, but aren't immersed in it like Peter Green was, or Eric Clapton for that matter.
Maybe you CAN"T come out the other side the way you came in!
Anyone knows whether this is slowed down or what scale this is in? Cause when I try to play along I just sound out of tune no matter what scale I play... (Im in tune though ;) )
@olaivo back in the old days, it was quite common to tune to eachother, so that everyone of the band is actually in tune with eachother, in stead of using a tuning device. It annoys the hell out of me when I try to play a long haahah
@TimBirkenholz I believe they were in tune with each other. The entire recording is slightly off pitch, probably due to all the transfers, etc. It's a bootleg. You can adjust it to pitch like I did using free tools like Audacity. Then, play on.
@olaivo I don't remember if the recording is slightly sharp or flat but use Audacity or similar tool to adjust it. Song starts in Gm, F, etc. Write me and I'll send you the entire chord progression if you'd like.

His soul is going to dictate the notes, tone, sensibility, are all fair nor more nor less. Peter is just a different level than other blues guitarists can only dream

The people who understand what they are hearing when they hear Peter Green play guitar will never be able to fully put the feeling into words, yet I see a lot of people here trying to.
The music he made was inhuman, raw perfection. He yearns and cries through his guitar and I cannot sit still whenever I hear it. Thank God for Peter Green.

@colindavis5 Peter Green's music is all too human ,which is why it touches so many people so deeply .If it was inhuman ,no one could relate. As for your not being able to sit still, maybe you have Hemmorhoids!

Let's cherish that Peter Green is still alive. I'm sorry Gary Moore has passed, but he did sell the most famous 1959 Gibson Les Paul for personal financial gain. I will NEVER forgive him for that! Do you wonder how an "acid casualty" 60's rock star is still alive while a wanker guitarist pretender died prematurely?

@strangeones4 Re the guitar, it was a great shame, but sometimes needs must and Lord dont I know it. You dont own and play a guitar for that many years and sell it without a lot of heartache...
kissyxander 1 year ago
@kissyxander What angers me is that Gary Moore aquired one of the best 1959 Les Paul's ever produced for the price of his 1969 Gibson SG. Peter Green "gave" this guitar to a "friend". It's duly noted that Gary Moore recorded a tribute album (using THE '59 LP) to Peter Green in 1995, yet his tone was garbage. To achieve the perfect Peter Green tone, you need a Fender Dual Showman head with cab, either a Fender or Orange reverb box, and the famous guitar. If Moore used a Plexi-head= forgive!
strangeones4 1 year ago
@strangeones4 Instead Gary Moore used those crappy Marshall heads that were made for heavy metal. Even if they're tube amps, they weren't the old Plexi-head amps from the 60's, and early 70's. Fender was the best amp for the tone you are now hearing!! The tone you hear from this link is a Fender Dual Showman.
strangeones4 1 year ago
@strangeones4 I agree with a lot of what you say, however Greeny has used his share of Marshalls, Oranges and God knows what else down the years and to the same devastating effect. Its all in the fingers and the heart y'see...

Who cares, they all are great guitarist in they're own right. Personally I like Peter but so I like them all for what they do. I am just glad I have ears to listen to them play. We need to cherish them all because we are losing them slowly as we lost Gary Moore last week ( RIP)

The best aspect of Peter Green (with FM), is he loved to jam with any famous guitarist. He never saw it as a competition. He knew Beck, Page, and Clapton were scared of Jimi Hendrix. PG, and Danny Kirwan jammed with Jimi Hendrix in New York 1968. PG was unphased. Just listen to this solo!! It wasn't until the last US FM tour with Peter Green that he was able to jam with Joe Walsh. PG seeked out great guitarists. 11/70 with Duane Allman in New Orleans is a great example! He was THE BEST!

huzzer060883 1 year ago
@huzzer060883 Look up Stockholm '70 (same song). Find "Worried Blues" San Francisco 1968. Search for "Rattlesnake Shake" Boston 1970 Vol. 2 in several parts. My favorite is "Sugar Mama Fleetwood Mac Amsterdam 1969". If you really want to hear Peter Green in raw form, search for "The Stumble Peter Green 1967". You'll know when you find it.

This is simply the best guitar playing I've ever heard. It's frightening that somebody could convey their emotions like that through a guitar.
And it's understandable why nobody could stay in that space for very long, it's just so heavy and intense.
What a talent, once in a lifetime.

What a JOKE that anybody could think this is "definately up there with Comfortably Numb!!" You have it all upside down if you think Dave could ever half of the soul and the spontaneity of Greeny's best playing.

I just don't see anyone ever playing like this again (unfortunetly) He IS wrenching the notes from his very soul. He gave everything he had. There are guys today who play blues, but aren't immersed in it like Peter Green was, or Eric Clapton for that matter.
Maybe you CAN"T come out the other side the way you came in!

olaivo 1 year ago
@olaivo back in the old days, it was quite common to tune to eachother, so that everyone of the band is actually in tune with eachother, in stead of using a tuning device. It annoys the hell out of me when I try to play a long haahah
TimBirkenholz 1 year ago
@TimBirkenholz I believe they were in tune with each other. The entire recording is slightly off pitch, probably due to all the transfers, etc. It's a bootleg. You can adjust it to pitch like I did using free tools like Audacity. Then, play on.

@olaivo I don't remember if the recording is slightly sharp or flat but use Audacity or similar tool to adjust it. Song starts in Gm, F, etc. Write me and I'll send you the entire chord progression if you'd like.
