[hackett999]

How did the one time coolest person on the planet end up on stage withe least coolest.

[MorroccoM13]

Is that a Les Paul Peter's playing here?

Back on a Gibby...................way to go Peter

[eamon305]

i saw them live and that young guitarist standing up at the front was a really annoying :P apart from that it was a great show

[WENDYKDARLING]

thank you for posting this video... this was one of the first bands i ever listened to by choice (age 9, when a lady gave me all her runaway teen daughter's lps, tyvm) so i got a place in my heart for old FM and Peter Green

[starstyx]

I saw Peter perform close up two days ago at then Byron Bay Blues Fest (Australia)and so many things went through my head.

Peter was one of the reasons I went ..... I was front row for Buddy Guy, Jools Holland.

I wasn't aware that Peter was that far out of it and he was obviously being well looked after by the band. I'd already u tubed him a lot, and knew that his playing is slow and quite a few mistakes.

Peter has given me so much pleasure in my life. I'm proud to have seen him play.

[dymondgeezer2003]

@norwayfinland im seeing him in 2 hours? lol

[troopsky]

Saw these at Buxton on the 18th.Sorry but I thought they were poor. Peter looked ill and looked completely out of it.I felt the band were using his name for their own exposure.I felt cheated. Having said that the support act was very good. Sorry Peter its time to call it a day.

[dymondgeezer2003]

@troopsky i dont think you quite understand

[phddddd]

@troopsky Peter has no control of his own resources, is dependent on legal parasites to give him money. Peter loves photography. Once at the Wharf he ran out of film. I said, "You're a millionaire," and, pointing to a store, "go buy some film." His answer is revealing: "Yeah, they says I got all this money, but they won't give me a tuppence." If you knew by one inch how many psychiatric druges they feed the guy, you'd be proud just to see him standing up ... alive. Peter deserves better.

[PJCampbell100]

Why is it that he has no control? What is his residence?

[mrdavidmillz]

greenie playing a les paul. NICE!

[GreenyMcFleetwood]

wait, do you know the current status and where abouts of danny kirwan!?

[dymondgeezer2003]

@GreenyMcFleetwood i remember someone telling me he was an alcoholic around hte covent garden area

[chrillenkillen]

Interessting that the band played some patterns of Oh Well part two before Albatross. Very good. I'm not sure the audience got that though. I did and I was born almost 20 years after the Mac era. Green's music will survive several generations.

[HenrikGamborg]

Im going to see Peter Green & Friends here in denmark the 7th of November.. hope its gona be as good as you had it.

[blackpudscoffer]

It's so good to hear Albatross played near to the original by Peter! brilliant !!!

[benjammin420420]

any more videos from this show?

[TerraeFilius1]

Hi benjammin - I've also uploaded "The Stumble" and "Oh Pretty Woman" from the Cornbury 2009 set.

[benjammin420420]

great thanks!

[tdcharles1962]

I can't see that happening. Danny Kirwan was another victim of that infamous weekend in Munich in 1969, which pushed Peter into habitual LSD use. Denny was also affected, and apart from a few solo outings in the mid-70s, never picked up a guitar again. Occasionally there are sightings of him in London, a homeless, alcoholic derelict.

[plebriquir]

So nice to see Peter playing a Les Paul... but so sad the other guitarist doens't know how to tune a guitar.

[Geefor]

Brings to mind late 60s when the blues purists said FM had sold out when they released Albatross - Peter responded by saying people would still be playing Albatross in 30 years time. He was wrong! Still playing it over 40 years on and best of all, he's still playing it! Great.

[Geefor]

Like your comment 'genuine' friends - probably a reference to N Watson who to me and many others always stole Greenie's show. Sadly I could not get to this. First saw Peter and FMac at Bournemouth front in 68 - with the other maestro guitarist, Danny Kirwan. Peter should get Danny to pick his guitar back up - it's never too late as this vid shows.
