John Mayall with Peter Green - The Supernatural

[yiblon]

This was my Bro's favourite track and we played it at his funeral. It was a freezing cold day in December and as the coffin entered the church with mist following it, this was playing. A wonderful moment that John would have loved.

[zaldivarjohn]

[philharri]

AMAZING! Simple as that.

[danielstuartblues]

fucking great

[TheGibbler84]

You can't really rate it... it's too good...as the title says...Supernatural.....

[Kimindigo]

[swuzzups]

How can you possibly rate shit this good?!?!?!

[1roses4Me]

Good Stuff!!!!!!!!

[NaughtGinger]

Damn HOT licks here-how does he do that? ?????? In awe and wonder over the talent! Truly gifted musicians. Thanks 4 sharing.

[xxxxwhyohwhyxxxx]

I saw Peter playing with the Splinter Group a year or so ago. Someone from the crowd shouted "give it some Wellie!"

Peter said quietly "I don't do Wellie any more."

[dchm2008]

Fucking Great Thank you Pete !!

[Somnath1210]

Ever since I have discovered the magic of Peter Green everything else sounds flat boring and uninteresting to me. I somehow feel that Green's music is ethreal, much more than music. God I love it so much. long Live the legend !!

[zaldivarjohn]

I have loved Carlos' music since woodstock. But what I did not know was Peter Green's music beside Fleetwood Mac. I have to admit that Carlos' style seems to be inspired by this sweet magnificent guitar music, specially after learning that black magic woman is Peter Greens song. I hope Peter Green tours USA, So Ca.

[seedogreed]

@zaldivarjohn He's old now. I saw him in Galway, Ireland, still gives me the shivers playing Albatross. Even geniuses dont live forever, but his music sure does, my friend !

[zaldivarjohn]

@seedogreed He will probably cotinue to tour Europe. Eventually maybe usa.Tell me about his show, some of the songs he played, etc.

Merry xmas and happy new year! Peace.

[seedogreed]

@zaldivarjohn It's not the Splinter Group anymore, it's PG and Friends. He has a great lead guitar player, I talked to. Peter doesnt want to give anymore autographs or fuzz like that. Well, Rattlesnake Shake was on, and other good ol stuff. But Pete also mellowed to one of my favourites, Rainy Night in Georgia. You know , I used to live in Atlanta. He sure hasnt lost the feeling !

[akaleepol]

i love everything peter wrote and or played thank for posting

[revbil]

5 stars......

Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, Rory Gallagher, Roy Buchanan......

[zipp1111]

[ostss]

@brave2790 Or you can just by the song from iTunes, or buy the CD from the store, and be an outstanding citizen. ;)

[nostalgiahistoria67]

Totally awesome! A classic!

[rakidip]

as said in Wikipedia, both Clapton and Green praised each other style and sound

[algrand90]

NOW I UNDERSTAND HOW SANTANA GET HIS SWEET TONE

[ranmaz79]

Clapton listen to what PETER GREEN has to say....its supernatural and you are overrated...

peter green 5 *

[nelsano3]

Peter Green has tone to die for.

[Oilman36]

Only the cool people listen to Green..! ;)

[rakidip]

@Oilman36 hehehehehe

[majorhoop]

live and learn i guess......

[rakidip]

@majorhoop he's unique

[Kristopful]

Peter Green at his best.

Makes all you hair's stand on end.......In a good way.

[rustyoltimer]

As B.B. King said, "Peter Green is the only white guitarist Ive ever heard that made me sweat."

Kind of says it, huh?

[TheFlamigoes]

god he had that good out of phase tone with massive sustain

[TheFlamigoes]

god he had great tone

[813nik]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[transmittance]

wow....exactly like Carlos, only with a much better vibrato.....he owes this guy his whole career

[alankat1690]

omg that tone is just wow amazing

[vhfgtiuoiu]

Strangones. Totally agree. how many non musos say they love Santana, when you comfortably point out that it's 80% Mr green they look vacant.

Like any decent blues player Carlos borrows and doesn't disguise this fact. difference is Peter Green is the Real deal and his touch and taste come through on every track. Although I do quite like a latin rhythm section from time to time.

[fuzzygreenduck]

Pter Green is on BBC 4 this Saturday night- 17/4/2010; Guitar Heroes

[YoGroucho]

The greatest guitarist that is born of woman,

[Marooned2010]

Turning the Blues Green.

Supernatural Guitar playing.

[iamearthbornami]

nice+++

[EclipsedByTheMoon73]

Damn I feel Blue:)

[GWR7200]

Fab remember seeing them live, I think at the Blaby Arms Leicster. it sound just as good now as it did then

[strangeones4]

Take this track, and Peter Green's cover of Otis Rush's "Homework", and you have Carlos Santana's guitar style. While I respect that Carlos always mentions Peter Green (after John Coltrane, and Jimi Hendrix (not even close in his playing)), he's living off of what Peter Green deserved for his influence.

In early 1970, Carlos Santana went to England to see Fleetwood Mac. He asked Peter Green for the permission to record "Black Magic Woman". I hope Peter is paid for this!

[fuzzygreenduck]

And Peter oversaw the Editing of all this track , over dubs the lot; John Mayal just stood by and let him get on with it. Amazing feel to the whole track.

[strangeones4]

@fuzzygreenduck The fact that John Mayall let Peter Green not only sing on a handful of tracks from "A Hard Road", and allowed him to create this song on his own shows that Mayall really wanted Green to be "the" guy. In fact Mayall hoped to hire Green back into his band around the fall of 1971. Unfortunately by then Peter Green stopped playing guitar, and was digging graves as an occupation. Most of us would consider that insanity, yet when you hear Peter Green's music he was very pure.

[strangeones4]

@strangeones4 Green didn't need drugs to see the phony side of the music industry. Peter Green was going to leave Fleetwood Mac, with or without drugs. It's the drugs that killed his ambition to play guitar in a minor role (studio session player). He tried for about a year after leaving FM, and gave up. Many talk about rock musicians who "sold out", Peter Green was as pure as they came. He was upset that concert fans needed to pay a pound to see FM live in 1970. What a sensitive soul.

[animoceria]

@strangeones4

i guess you like peter green, isnt ?

[ezekielwahwah]

@animoceria

Peter Green is the best British guitar player period. Miles ahead of Clapton and co.

[Parabol0086]

@strangeones4 Unfortunately it seems in many areas, not just music, that pioneers of a style get imitated, have "mainstream" friendly alterations (Black Magic Woman) and the public credit the wrong person.

I think I would be satisfied with my life if I could achieve what Peter has, even without the rivaling Santana's bank balance.

[strangeones4]

@Parabol0086 That's it in a nutshell, well posted! At least the internet has allowed those who weren't alive (or of age) during that time to really see who deserved the respect. Napster (before the lawsuits) started this, Youtube has made it possible.

[shotenzenjin16]

@strangeones4 SPOT-ON 'nuff said

[taariqtaariq]

amazing, I must buy this album!

[fuzzygreenduck]

I bought this album from Amazon

[waylo4526]

this is a wonderful track i love peter green what an amazing but highly underrated guitar player

[kenfig]

@waylo4526 No,he's NOT underrated at all ; all the greats know how great he is.He is a Master

[nyctom21]

amazing playing IMO ..why Peter Green had the world by the balls ..simply cause he played like NO OTHER back then...his phrasing and touch is like no other ..ask BB King..

[southpawslide]

@nyctom21

Dang right ! Agree totally...unreal player and so himself...you can hear 'him' playing insight of just playing Blue notes...unreal!

[dimeuno]

Hoo-hoo, sounds spine-tingling-dingling!

[panzerschnott]

Beautiful! I can't blame Carlos for basing his entire playing style on this tune.

[Hemulen40]

Thanx , Pete ! Gives me da shudders , but in a GOOD way ...

[Bulls4102333]

Beautiful emotional solo work by Greeny.

[EnemyOfEldar]

On the back of the album, its typoed 'Peter Greem', you'd think'd check stuff like that, considering the masterfulness of this number.

[hrhra]

Not true. They sing at that song, this one is only instrumental cuz its Supernatural.

[ovneb]

Although it resembles some parts of "Black Magic Woman", it's actually the Supernatural

[CadillacL]

I was thinking the same, that it resembles Black Magic Woman.
