[neveragain639]

awesome -awesome -awesome

[ajakghazaly79]

i prefer gary moore =)

[peonwarrior]

@ajakghazaly79 This ONE of the TWO version made by FWM (Boston tea party). The other one is much more soulful and powerful. Have a look it's in your right, the 2nd display.

[TheFlameTop]

i had'nt heard this version before now , i heard the boston tea party version or atleast another take from that set of recordings . thank's for sharing!

[psx1337]

lol, someone screwed up the chord change around 1:00 or so.. you can hear john trying to figure out where they hell they are for a second. love this song though

[delazzuro]

The king of tone! master of the Blues!!!! for me he has no peer!

[gibsongold1970]

dont compare guitarplayers.especially hendrix.greeny is a bad ass musician.

[willy12345ization]

The Greatest tone there will ever be.. saw him last year in Manchester, England. He's not "mental" he loved lcd there are millions like him, the guys a genius and he's had an amazing life. He doesn't play like he used 2 but he still has an aura about him, if you get the opportunity 2 see him, do it. You will sill come away thinking Wow!! &.. for the rest of your life you will be able 2 say that when it comes to blues guitarists, you saw the best. bar none. love ya greeny !

[stinkyuk]

@willy12345ization  well put totally agree what a geez.

[nyg1954]

the best pure blues english player

[scottus1955]

simply stunning..so sweet..so sad..God loves you Peter Green and so do i

[slownoman]

@itsnotinthisbox I've heard those rumors about him playing again. That would be a marvel, and I'd love to hear him live before one of us does buy the farm.

[thebluesrockers]

I love his vocals. you can really feel it.

Thanks for uploading this. this guitar riff is most likely the most over played riff in the history of the blues, but his singing to this riff, is one of the very best" in this riffs history. not to mention his unbelievable guitar playing.

[DoowahDiatribe]

Neither Eric, Jeff, Jimi or Mick come close in the slightest - At All- to this version of Mr. Peter Green playing... Jumpin' At Shadows in his own way

[MrWolfjames]

PETER GREEN'S FLEETWOOD MAC IS SWIFT!!!

[furie1984]

The real musicians are not viewed nor rated like the new pop stars.

Shame !

[GrabbingHandz]

It makes the hairs stand up on my neck - his guitar has super tone!!!

[trb1952]

More Peter Green....

[freebox2964]

In blues guitar, sometimes it's not the notes played but the space between them, you know, tension and resolve. Just one guitarists opinion.

[j0eX]

Someone was arguing in a thread here, that "soul" can not be perceived in playing. It is all just a matter of technique. I beg to differ, and THIS is my argument. Thank you.

[HarryCat101]

what im looking for is strickly instrumental, very dark and and slow. anyone know which fleetwood mac tune it is please let me know.

[blueice0170]

@HarryCat101 Sorry, my first reply had a glitch. Maybe you're thinking of the "Madge Session, 2" that Sam1985 has uploaded, or "My Dream" from Then Play On. :-) ~b

[huzzer060883]

@HarryCat101 the supernatural is the only one i can think of but that was john mayall days

[HarryCat101]

what are some more acoustical music from them without vocals

[SilverWolfMoon]

@HarryCat101 From this era of Fleetwood Mac :

'Underway' {full version is 16 mins long}, and 'Albatross'

[snakespan]

@HarryCat101 Oh Well Part 2

[hellswinter]

@HarryCat101

Also Apostle, Bandit (acoustic), and Oh Well (part II). (First two are Peter Green solo tracks)

[starrchild99]

Just Brilliant! Refined and soulful.

[msroberto1954]

ERANO TUTTI I PROTETTEI DI MS @@@JOOHN MAYALL MA QUALCUNO ERA SUPERIORE

[123must]

yes, I know he is still alive, but the golden day passed away yust some time before.

I still love and I have a great respect for Peter. He was one of the best., nowaday I am 'sorry but I did not appeciate wihth his LAST performances, and I'm very sad , Excuse me but this is what i think truly.

[123must]

Yes Peter Green was a genious in the field of blues music ( and this does not matter if he was american or english )

[SilverWolfMoon]

@123must "was"...?! Peter is still alive!

[peonwarrior]

@SilverWolfMoon  ofc he is ! :)

[kennycube]

@SilverWolfMoon... unfortunatley he went a bit mental and he's not really the same person anymore. More unfortunatley(for me), he's certainly not the same guitar player. :(

[SilverWolfMoon]

@kennycube Yes, I'm aware of his mental history.

I was potentially going to see him in concert in a couple of months, but before I could book tickets the show was cancelled, due to 'ill health' :(

[kntshrm]

He [Bennett] was exhausted after a gig and was driving back in his van. He started nodding at the wheel, lost control of the vehicle and ended to collide with another truck. He was 6 months shy of his 30th birthday.

[dillweed44]

album?

[SilverWolfMoon]

@dillweed44 It's on the 'archive release' album "Show-Biz Blues: Fleetwood Mac 1968-1970 volume 2"

[dillweed44]

@SilverWolfMoon sweet cheers

[ThreeToeGuruZac]

[sz3rd]

@SilverWolfMoon so so sorry did not even see that.... to old an to many drugs..

again no disrespect ment...........

[mikenshoba]

I had the pleasure of seeing Duster Bennett in 1969 at a pub venue in Southend, and visually he was amazing, a one man blues band, playing guitar drums hi hat and harmonica all at the same time. Sadly he died young, not sure how but what a talent.

[Zone1242]

Saw them back in '70 - was on a high for days after (without any chemical aids!!)

[hollywatsonb]

it makes me sad I was born too late to ever go to one of these live gigs :(

[jazzbsimon]

Well SWM I'd like to say firstly "thank you" I will enjoy this and some of your other contributions many times. As to which performer is the better or best, surely it is all a matter of personal taste. My taste is neither better nor worse than that of anyone else, just different. In the 60s the letters page of MM was full of arguement on the relative greatness of - Clapton, Hendrix, Green, Lee etc. It was pointless then as it is is today. It is cool to enjoy it all my friends.

[BigWillieWillHom]

Oh Man!! Peter Green Was One Of My Most Favorite Blues Guitarists Ever!! I Just Loved The Work He Done With John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers & Fleetwood Mac!! This Is Just Fantastic & Brilliant!! 5 - Stars ***** !!!!

- BigWillieWillHom :)

[talerdudansk]

Peter is and was a fantastic blues guitarist. Very much ahead of his time sadly for him, he paid the price.

[guitartonequest]

I think there are 3 versions of this, but the other two were released in the "Live" sets. They were all jumbled up also, not complete sets from each night. I think this is by far the best version I have heard. This is guitar playing which we will not likely hear again, my friends. Great touch, incredible full, woody tone from his LP, and Peter knows the value of space and dynamics (why did EVH have to come along to start the speed competition?).

[impala327]

Devastating. Listen to how he varies his attack, tone controls and reverb-all while singing amazingly. One of my favorite blues ever.

[slownoman]

When talking British blues (assuming there's a difference, which there may not really be), Peter Green belongs near the top, if not at the top, of the list. Clapton, Beck, Page, Mick Taylor, all got their props- and they deserved them. Green was a genius.

[talpajam]

one of the best clips on YouTube.

notice how he credits the writer Duster Bennett...this isn't Jimmy Page.

[tomthefunky]

I'm in heaven listening to this siverwolfmoon, thanks,man.

[MysteryHunterz]

Though Duster Bennett is a great musician, I find this version more to my liking.

If this aint making ya cold blooded and crying, feel that blues.. I know nothing will

[9mej]

if any track made me think what the hell is this it ws this and albertross just brilliant i herd both of the tracks when i was maybe 15 16 im 26 now and i love fleetwood mac with peter green

[YouFrickinStar]

yum yum

[muirhouseterrace]

I won't often allow that anyone else should touch a Duster song but this is a sincere homage and much appreciated.

[sam19851]

indeed

[general6lee]

Lespaulcustom, whehe, feel the same :)

[general6lee]

lay down and mellow down easy my friend :) Eh timo :)

[rhatker]

this song is freakin' amazing...

[LesPaulCustom79]

Duane and Berry jammed with Fleetwood Mac at the old Sports Arena in Atlanta in 1970. I wish Duane and Peter had formed a band, what a trip that would have been.

[SAXONUK444]

peter green.... simply the greatest blues guitarist ever!!!!

[Almitra2]

I found Duster Bennett (RIP) who played with Peter Green is wonderful too, in Jumpin' At Shadows Peter acknowledges him Duster Bennett-I think you may enjoy his bluesy sound and lyrics.

[ybot1983]

@SAXONUK444 ive come to this conclusion myself he has a softer more emotional style with amazing light and shade way beyond technique and grandstanding, its pure emotion, he may be better than Hendrix

[dinkylab]

Peter is Busting it

fxxking OUT!

[mazyrun09]

ah the sweet , sweet blues !

[socrates1818]

Very BB King like 'Live at The Regal' esp around 1'30"

[sam19851]

That was one of Peter's favorite albums from BB King. Mine too.

[acidcasual07]

bb king said that green was the only guitarist that gave him shudders down his spine.

[sam19851]

@acidcasual07

He also said, when questioned in 1969! " Are there any guitar slingers out there that give you competition?" He replied...." What's Peter Green doing nowadays?" True story...

[mcddtlc]

Sam - Santana tell's a story about a BB King show in London back in the late 60's

Clapton & G. Harrison were in the front row and BB looked down at them and said: Sorry guys - but Peter Green is the best guitarist over here!!

[facto1000]

i assume this is from some non-getable source? Not my favorite version but ANY version is worth hearing. Thanks for posting

[SilverWolfMoon]

As I said previously, it's on the 'archive release' album "Show-Biz Blues: Fleetwood Mac 1968-1970 volume 2"

[shutupyopiehole2000]

Naw just look for the album Fleetwood Mac Live at the Boston Tea Party. I accidentally found it at a library and it is currently my favorite album ever. It's not this exact version of the song, but it's got all the classics on it.

[Bleadbelly1]

It's also on "Fleetwood Mac Live at the BBC"

Disc1- Track 16

[EcirpWehttam]

@facto1000 it's also available on Peter Green's Supernatural - An Anthology. Just type it into iTunes and it comes up. I love this version.

[superfuzzymomma]

Dead on explanation, man....from what I have read lately, Greenie LOVED his reverb and liked Fender amps for theirs....and Orange also. If he played through an amp without reverb he would use a separate unit. Now I know what BB Kings quote is all about. -. Peter Green's playing sends shivers down my spine whenever I hear it - especially this track - absolute perfection! Nothing comes close to this!

Cheers 110665!

[superfuzzymomma]

I had hoped so!

Thanks for the reply, my friend 110665!

If you don't mind, then, how is he switching the reverb? a foot switch?

[110665]

Foot switch maybe...or maybe Spencer is turning it up for him...cuz i only hear the 2 guitars

[superfuzzymomma]

One of the most moving songs I have ever heard!

Can someone please tell me who is playing which solo, please?

[110665]

Peter Green is playing all solos hes just changing his pickup positions...

[cymbula]

3.00 - 4.15. Sweet as it gets. Always.

[msnoakesy]

When he bends those notes part of me seems to bend with them - sounds ridiculous, but thats how it makes me feel! Fantastic

[MrEdgill]

Just amazing.. ahh xD

[davep42]

Unreal. Absolutely incredible blues guitar and singing by Green.

[110665]

God thats got to be one of the great solos of all time!!!

[cymbula]

Sublime interpretation of an understated and under rated masterpiece of British song writing.

When you hear Duster Bennett or Peter Green and they touch you, you've got something you can never lose.

[mcddtlc]

Too Too bad we lost this Peter Green..

One of a kind..

MLC

[dwnhllr1959]

This incarnation - Green/Kirwan/Spencer + McVie/Fleetwood - is by FAR the best. I could listen to them all day. GREAT clip and some GREAT old photos - thanks to the poster for this one!

[blackpudscoffer]

This is Mac at their best! peter is truely the green god!!!!

[MysteryHunterz]

He was then... unfortunately... we lost him... or might I say... he lost IT...

[sam19851]

Chester/Buster

[licketyZsplit]

Perfection. Don't miss out!

[kenmere1]

Sorry!!! mistook Duster 4 Chester...U r right...2 much red stuff and 2 late at night here in Oz

[kenmere1]

Peter is my #1, but he did get a few things wrong in life aye... saw him with Nigel and crew in Sydney 2002... some brilliant stuff, but off with the pixies every so often....still GREAT though!!..what about the ghosted stuff with Snowy White, my #2!! of those still with us....

[SilverWolfMoon]

Well, at the end (5:17) Peter Green clearly says 'Duster Bennett'...

[Tzaosirus7]

That's who wrote the track, aye, but what the hell has Duster Bennett got to do with the rest of this live gig??

[SilverWolfMoon]

You missed kenmere1's original comment, which he has chosen to remove.

Anyway, Peter was showing the grace that few musicians do in recommending that his audience, after enjoying Fleetwood Mac's performance, listen to the original song...

[Tzaosirus7]

Yeh, I get that man...

Thanks for posting this masterpiece, so back to my original comment, do you have any more of this gig? Or other badboy tracks like this?

Cheers

[SilverWolfMoon]

As I said further up, I got it from this album : "Show-Biz Blues: Fleetwood Mac 1968-1970 volume 2"

This was an un-issued recording from the Boston concerts, and I think there were another one or two on that album {all of disc 2 were live recordings}.

[Tzaosirus7]

Wow... Please feel free to upload! ;oP

Thanks for this gem again...

[snackleforkofemir]

Have you heard the double CD "Fleetwood Mac:The Vaudeville Years"?

A lot of gems from this period of Fleetwood Mac.

[Tzaosirus7]

Someone must have the audio to this whole gig??? Where did this come from??? Can we get more???

[bobobekker]

There is a record (L.P.) by the name Fleetwood Mac Boston Live on Castle Classic number CLAP 152 U.K.

[EZIOTHEMASTER]

He was a monster musicians, one of the best ever. I saw him live with the Splinter Group in 2001 and believe me he stll gave me chills down the spine. He played a version of the stumble which was incredible.

[Tzaosirus7]

wow thanks Green God

[HoltDavid]

This is the only song to ever send chills up my spine. I am envious of all those who grew up with this musical genious.

[bkzynxx]

I was at this concert,the Boston Tea Party,a fan since 16 when I heard "Supernatural"off John Mayall's album...and I can truly say we were literally blown away by the sound ,power and emotion of the band .We left stunned.

[ORELUR]

Does anybody know where and when this was recorded ? I've got a few versions but never heard this one.Green can break my heart with a handful of notes.

[SilverWolfMoon]

It's an unissued version from the first night of the Boston concerts - 5th Feb 1970.

It's on the album "Show-Biz Blues: Fleetwood Mac 1968-1970 volume 2"

[NicolletIslandSlim]

Peter Green was simply the greatest white blues singer/guitarist who ever lived. Anyone would kill to have his vocal ability, and they'd do the same to possess his guitar skills. He could do both. No one else has come close.

[slownoman]

Having lived in the SF bay area during the amazing 66-68 period, when some of the greatest music ever made was there, one of my favorite moments was seeing the true Fleetwood Mac for the first time. I knew Green's work with Mayall, as I did Clapton's before him, and he was every bit Eric's equal at that time. Blues knows no color, but Green is one of the hues that makes it up. Just heartbreaking guitar playing, and I say that as a guitarist for the past 43 years.

[MysteryHunterz]

Wished he was still like this.

[andria260807]

The version I never heard before, fine one! Thank you for putting it on.

[steveuk17]

Pure Class , Pure genius.

[bluestblues08]

great! thanks for posting 5***** and fav

[ou812uc]

OOO I haven't heard this before...I love this..so bluesy.. :o)
