@tnekkc Drinking or not, it was accurate. What a lot of people don't appreciate about Peter Green is that his girfriend at the time he was in F.Mac screwed him up pretty badly. She was happy to enjoy the status, but she didn't look after him. He was very loyal to her, but their sex life became non-existent. It's reflected in some of his songs - she was the black magic woman, always turned her back on him - and the most he could look forward to when he got home was the rattlesnake shake. Very Sad
Then play on is one of my all time favorites! I'm surprised that I haven't worn the needle completely through the record, I must have played it a million times. Did you ever get it?
Peter converted to Christianity around this time. I know that it kind of got all mixed up with his emotional unstability though, then when he had the acid breakdown in Munich, things really got bad. Thank God he didn't end up joining the Children Of God cult like Jeremy Spencer did, now THAT was really sad!
Man that's crazy... It seems acid has made many musicians convert to Christianity... Bob Dylan... Phil Keaggy... and about Jeremy Spencer- I don't think acid was the only factor that made him join that cult. I think he may be a pedaphile
Wanna hear the best version of Rattlesnake shake by Green? Check out the version on Mick Fleeotwood's first solo album "The Visitor". Green comes out of retirement and completely wipes away and rumor that he was washed up. He completely thrashes any previous version of this tune. Green is God.
perfect song for the Playboy club! 'Rattlesnake Shake' about masturbation! Peter Green is one of the truly amazing British Blues guitarists...awesome phrasing and that unique tone...poor Jeremy Spencer...when they couldn't take any more of his Elmore James licks they gave him maracas! long live the Mac!
Yes, Peter Green suffered a breakdown... but he's come back and was performing again as Peter Green and the Splinter Group. He formed the group in 1996, which lasted until 2004. He's still alive... and has recorded some amazing music in the past 13 years.
Fleetwood mac when they were great. Love Searching for Madge and all the tracks on Then Play on. Too bad Green succumbed to mental illness and drugs and wasted thirty years of his life. Danny Kirwan had to keep the band afloat, his vibrato guitar otherworldly. Sadly, when he lost his mind and left, the band disintegrated when Stevie Nickshit and Lindsey Buckingspam turned it into bubble gum pop. Sad. Miss you, Danny. Peter,
you still are one of the best blues/rock guitarists.
Man IF ONLY! All the original Mac members are still alive, both Peter and Jeremy are doing well as far as I know (Jeremy still involved with that scumbag Children Of God cult last I heard). However any fan needs to lift up Danny Kirwan in their prayers that he'll overcome his personal demons. They're still haunting him as far as I know. But the original Mac back on stage?! I'D BE THERE IN A HEARTBEAT!
Green was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and he spent time in psychiatric hospitals undergoing electroconvulsive therapy in the mid-1970s. Many sources attest to his lethargic, trancelike state during this period.
He actually quit the band in 1970, but he was well on his way to his mental illness at that time.
Pretty cool show. Always had great musical guests. Yes, Peter Green was very special. To us Les Paul guitar players he is, if not the biggest influence, then definately in the top three.
@NickD58 My biggest Les Paul influences are Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Mick Jones of The Clash, but Green taught me that out of phase doesn’t have to be a bad thing!!!
Peter Green is one of the ONLY rock Blues players who really kept it very close to the real Chic. style. A lot of the others as great as they were just through in to much other shit. Green left it pretty pure.
Amen BluesmanDizzy....People seem to forget that the space between the notes are just as important. take your time, talk to me.....make me feel something. BTW please check out my clip comment and rate if you get the chance......LOVE THE BLUES.....KEEP THEM ALIVE.
love this stuff....all these guys are "allowed" to be who they are without consequence. As a female blues musician, I envy that, even now in 2008, but especially considering this was 1969....you can be a blues singer, baby, maybe, but put your guitar away honey, cause we can't see your cute figure hidden behind it...
Peter left the band, Mick Fleetwood had other members after that, each contibuter to that band brought there own style. It is not fair to talk bad about Buckingham or Nicks, they were asked to join and it kept Fleetwwod Mac on the map. These are two different bands with the same name. You have to remember that this band sold more albums that anyone in the 70's. I love both bands, they brought there own style to this band.
Peter seemed so healthy, strong and clear-eyed. That changed dramatically not long after this. Note Jeremy Spencer playing maracas-he wasn't on "Then Play On" at all, at least not as a guitar player
Oh what could have been. Up there with the Beatles and the Stones as one of the finest bands ever. If only they hadn't imploded and became a pale americanised imitation of themselves.
Love Peter Green....saw him & Mac at the Fillmore West. Green's tone, unbelievable. BB King also mentions Green's tone, Santana praises Green as well. Carlos even copies Greens solo note for note on Black Magic Woman (Green wrote the song) Listen to Green's cut "Supernatural" on the Mayall album, excellent. Santana titled his best selling album the same. A great extended take of Black Magic Woman is on Live at the BBC that cut will give you a feel of what Green & Mac were like live & jamming!
Correct. Not even close! Green gave Santana permission to record "Black Magic Woman." Carlos had the hit in US; F.MAC version had #1 hit in England '69.
Just listen to Green's solo, he wrote the song & recorded it first, then listen to Santana's 1st album recording. Santana was a fan of Green & Green admired the version by Carlos (percussion, etc.) Green thought it should be Santana's song & Green played it infrequently as tribute after that, never again did I hear Green play it again in SF until years later at the Fillmore with Splinter Group. because Green "gave" it to Santana doesn't take away the fact of the solo being played note for note.
You're talking about "Black Magic Woman." I'm Santana didn't record "Rattlesnake." I never said Santana played Greenies solo note for note." He didn't. Greenie's solo is all pentatonic minor with an occasional iv minor arpeggio. Santana's solo is in natural minor; it emphasizing 9th heavily. Carlos plays out of tune in the upper register! You'd think with all the money behind him and unlimited takes he could've 'punched it in.'
It wasn't "given. The the original version was a #1 hit in England.
"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 in 1970 (on 2nd album), reaching #4 in the U.S. charts. Yes, early on, Santana would see Green & Mac play at the Fillmore & Fillmore West when was Mac in town (San Francisco).
Me too! I was there Carousel Ballroom/Fillmore West June '68. Blew me sidwayz! Went back following year '69 heard new band with Danny Kirwan. A life changer.
Correct. Jimi is 1000 per cent more popular now, than he was then. with people who never heard him live then. The time and context was an important part. He was virtually forgotten when he died. His time was over. Everybody wanted to be Clapton (even Jimi). There were big ad campaigns in the record stores with cardboard cutouts. "Are You Experienced" started selling again. I heard them all and others in their prime. Peter Green was the only one who ever took my attention from BB!
Have to agree At the time, Jimi's records were fantastically interesting to me & my friends all budding young guitarists. what sound would he come up with next? how on earth did he play that? but when I saw the Experience Perform at the Royal Albert Hall (they filmed this concert-)I was a little disappointed! Fleetwood Mac, however, were always very exciting,funny ,often incredibly moving !One time I saw them also at RAH on a bill that included Duster Bennet and BB King who was also great!
The sound that Jimi came up with at the time of his death was a tasty clean blues guitar sound with organ: "Electric Ladyland." I saw the Jimi Experience at the Fillmore in SF in '68. At the time, I hated Jimi AND Cream. BB was my man. I only went because Albert King was appearing. But, despite my prejudice Jimi really impressed me with his musicianship! They sounded great; perfect balance; not too loud and jimi didn't play so out of tune like he usually did. The vibe was like seeing Miles!
Green is a legend. If you like him, you should check out Duster Bennett - he used to play with him before The Mac became big. Bennett wrote Jumping at Shadows. He died young but there is some of his stuff on release with him and Greeny jamming - it's amazing.
actually peter green's Fleetwood Mac was an entire different band after Green left , they changed style and musicians and totally forgot what the band was about. I still prefer the old blues band .There is also a few people that think 'black magic woman' was written by Santana ,but Peter Green wrote it
Have you ever heard the CD Fleetwood Mac greatest hits live printed in Germany ? It has a 16:20 version of Green Manalishi and a 6:24 version of Black Magic Woman on it and is probably one of the best ever made , even better than the BBC recordings . a lot of people [ like my wife ]think of Fleetwood Mac with Stevie Nicks and Christie Mc Vie but that was a totally different band ; not actually bad , but far from the Blues Band I like
I dunno. When Fleetwood Mac with Buckingham and Nicks became so huge in the 70s and 80s all I could do was shake my head in disgust! I wouldn't even give them a listen. That's not Fleetwood Mac. I heard the real Fleetwood Mac in '68 and '69. But I have to say now I listen. And no matter what Mick and John are into it sounds to me like Fleetwood Mac. Even in the voice of Nicks and Christine I can hear that sick 50s vaudeville humor of the orginal Mac.
I saw Jimi, Clapton & Greeny, all Live. Clapton & Peter Geen with John Mayal & after.Hendrix at the Isle of Wight in 1970, all I can say is I loved them all.Today all you read is Hendrix was best,no, Clapton was better!This is by people who where not there.
I agree with ya ajengland! I'm only 31 and I'm a huge fan of The Jimi Hendrix Expierence, Cream, Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac. Not to mention The Yardbirds in all three configurations, The Jeff Beck Group, Chicago with Terry Kath, The Allman Brothers Band with both Duane and Dickey, Santana. All of them were and still are great! HOWEVER, there is just something about Hendrix that trancends. It's just that way he could make the guitar "talk" out any emotion. Sometimes it's almost scary!
Hendrix wanted us to feel nature and the cosmos. What is scaring you is that we as modern beings don't feel. We are removed from nature so far we don't understand any communication outside of our boxes. That's what he was trying to say. That's the transcendence you want to feel.
Yes very true guywalker29. I do feel it. It's like the very cars we drive in, we close ourselves in and think of ourselves. Sometimes the only communication we have to another driver is the middle finger! Jimi's playing is the sound of the human soul opening up and understanding what is all around us.
Keep listening, you're right, he's talkng. The guy was the last of the great American bluesman. His music culminated centuries of human expression now hidden with colonist's legalese that pushed the Westward Movement and landed us here stranded in Babylon.
Hendrix is number one...but this stuff about what he wanted us to feel is your idea not his. And if you dont like the "western movement"..move to China where you'll feel more free..or perhaps Iran where they'e just sentenced 7 women to death by stoning.
It's not a matter of dislike or like. It's a matter of dis-association/removal with nature. Modernization or industrialization was something Hendrix questioned (read a biography) about Hendrix). I'm not preaching any of my own agenda. I am merely trying to give a bit of confidence to someone who deemed some of Hendrix's work "scary" by conquering that the sounds are strange maybe because Hendrix attempted to communicate in ancient constructs.
Oh and yes, Peter Green's tone is just amazing no doubt. It's so wierd how many guitarists in that band came under such attack from their own personal demons! Peter, Jeremy, Danny, and even Bob Welch and Lindsey have had their issues.
agreed, and I would add that Clapton is the most overrated guitarist in the UK. I was introduced to Green a long time before Clapton, and I found it hard to work out what all the fuss was about, and went back to listening to Oh Well
I know, its a shame, I think he would be more widely known if he had kept his head straight and stayed in the music business. When Peter Green lost it, it was one of the biggest losses to British music ever.
Peter Green and early Fleetwood had to be the most underated band of all time.Had the distinct pleasure of seeing them at the Fillmore East-none better!
probably the best white man old school blues there is. shame what happened to ol greeny. they could have been 100 times better than the fleetwood mac that followed if he had stayed clean.

You're talking about "Black Magic Woman." I'm Santana didn't record "Rattlesnake." I never said Santana played Greenies solo note for note." He didn't. Greenie's solo is all pentatonic minor with an occasional iv minor arpeggio. Santana's solo is in natural minor; it emphasizing 9th heavily. Carlos plays out of tune in the upper register! You'd think with all the money behind him and unlimited takes he could've 'punched it in.'
It wasn't "given. The the original version was a #1 hit in England.

"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 in 1970 (on 2nd album), reaching #4 in the U.S. charts. Yes, early on, Santana would see Green & Mac play at the Fillmore & Fillmore West when was Mac in town (San Francisco).

Me too! I was there Carousel Ballroom/Fillmore West June '68. Blew me sidwayz! Went back following year '69 heard new band with Danny Kirwan. A life changer.

Correct. Jimi is 1000 per cent more popular now, than he was then. with people who never heard him live then. The time and context was an important part. He was virtually forgotten when he died. His time was over. Everybody wanted to be Clapton (even Jimi). There were big ad campaigns in the record stores with cardboard cutouts. "Are You Experienced" started selling again. I heard them all and others in their prime. Peter Green was the only one who ever took my attention from BB!

Have to agree At the time, Jimi's records were fantastically interesting to me & my friends all budding young guitarists. what sound would he come up with next? how on earth did he play that? but when I saw the Experience Perform at the Royal Albert Hall (they filmed this concert-)I was a little disappointed! Fleetwood Mac, however, were always very exciting,funny ,often incredibly moving !One time I saw them also at RAH on a bill that included Duster Bennet and BB King who was also great!

The sound that Jimi came up with at the time of his death was a tasty clean blues guitar sound with organ: "Electric Ladyland." I saw the Jimi Experience at the Fillmore in SF in '68. At the time, I hated Jimi AND Cream. BB was my man. I only went because Albert King was appearing. But, despite my prejudice Jimi really impressed me with his musicianship! They sounded great; perfect balance; not too loud and jimi didn't play so out of tune like he usually did. The vibe was like seeing Miles!

Green is a legend. If you like him, you should check out Duster Bennett - he used to play with him before The Mac became big. Bennett wrote Jumping at Shadows. He died young but there is some of his stuff on release with him and Greeny jamming - it's amazing.

actually peter green's Fleetwood Mac was an entire different band after Green left , they changed style and musicians and totally forgot what the band was about. I still prefer the old blues band .There is also a few people that think 'black magic woman' was written by Santana ,but Peter Green wrote it

Have you ever heard the CD Fleetwood Mac greatest hits live printed in Germany ? It has a 16:20 version of Green Manalishi and a 6:24 version of Black Magic Woman on it and is probably one of the best ever made , even better than the BBC recordings . a lot of people [ like my wife ]think of Fleetwood Mac with Stevie Nicks and Christie Mc Vie but that was a totally different band ; not actually bad , but far from the Blues Band I like
furbigheimer 3 years ago
I dunno. When Fleetwood Mac with Buckingham and Nicks became so huge in the 70s and 80s all I could do was shake my head in disgust! I wouldn't even give them a listen. That's not Fleetwood Mac. I heard the real Fleetwood Mac in '68 and '69. But I have to say now I listen. And no matter what Mick and John are into it sounds to me like Fleetwood Mac. Even in the voice of Nicks and Christine I can hear that sick 50s vaudeville humor of the orginal Mac.

I saw Jimi, Clapton & Greeny, all Live. Clapton & Peter Geen with John Mayal & after.Hendrix at the Isle of Wight in 1970, all I can say is I loved them all.Today all you read is Hendrix was best,no, Clapton was better!This is by people who where not there.
ajengland 3 years ago 2
I agree with ya ajengland! I'm only 31 and I'm a huge fan of The Jimi Hendrix Expierence, Cream, Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac. Not to mention The Yardbirds in all three configurations, The Jeff Beck Group, Chicago with Terry Kath, The Allman Brothers Band with both Duane and Dickey, Santana. All of them were and still are great! HOWEVER, there is just something about Hendrix that trancends. It's just that way he could make the guitar "talk" out any emotion. Sometimes it's almost scary!
MattHatter 3 years ago
Hendrix wanted us to feel nature and the cosmos. What is scaring you is that we as modern beings don't feel. We are removed from nature so far we don't understand any communication outside of our boxes. That's what he was trying to say. That's the transcendence you want to feel.
guywalker29 3 years ago
Yes very true guywalker29. I do feel it. It's like the very cars we drive in, we close ourselves in and think of ourselves. Sometimes the only communication we have to another driver is the middle finger! Jimi's playing is the sound of the human soul opening up and understanding what is all around us.
MattHatter 3 years ago
Keep listening, you're right, he's talkng. The guy was the last of the great American bluesman. His music culminated centuries of human expression now hidden with colonist's legalese that pushed the Westward Movement and landed us here stranded in Babylon.
guywalker29 3 years ago
Hendrix is number one...but this stuff about what he wanted us to feel is your idea not his. And if you dont like the "western movement"..move to China where you'll feel more free..or perhaps Iran where they'e just sentenced 7 women to death by stoning.
plantagenant 3 years ago
It's not a matter of dislike or like. It's a matter of dis-association/removal with nature. Modernization or industrialization was something Hendrix questioned (read a biography) about Hendrix). I'm not preaching any of my own agenda. I am merely trying to give a bit of confidence to someone who deemed some of Hendrix's work "scary" by conquering that the sounds are strange maybe because Hendrix attempted to communicate in ancient constructs.
guywalker29 3 years ago
Oh and yes, Peter Green's tone is just amazing no doubt. It's so wierd how many guitarists in that band came under such attack from their own personal demons! Peter, Jeremy, Danny, and even Bob Welch and Lindsey have had their issues.
MattHatter 3 years ago
Hi!
I think,if something good happened to/on Earth,than it was/it is Peter Green.
I think,if we want to communicate with alien life forms,we have to send Peter's music to them!
He is blessed,and shall this be remain so!
He's a living hero, an icon,an ideal,that must be remain so!
Keep up the good work,Peter!
I LOVE your music!!!

Dig those groovy chicks man. Oh and Green is the Uk;s most underrated blues guy. he smokes clapton in a slow blues.
stratocastermojo 3 years ago 2
agreed, and I would add that Clapton is the most overrated guitarist in the UK. I was introduced to Green a long time before Clapton, and I found it hard to work out what all the fuss was about, and went back to listening to Oh Well
steelyardbluesman 3 years ago 2
I still love clapton man, but I wish Green got just as much praise. Or more.
stratocastermojo 3 years ago
I know, its a shame, I think he would be more widely known if he had kept his head straight and stayed in the music business. When Peter Green lost it, it was one of the biggest losses to British music ever.
