The real sound behind it all. So much soul in every lick. The words echo in my head. Peter. The true heart and soul of the music I could listen to forever..
A good woman, lets break this down, what is a good woman, what does that mean?Is there such a thing, just like is there such a thing as a good man? Some women may say No, others may say yes, so what the fuck is a good woman and if you find one, let me know as I sure as hell can't!
Its someone you just connect with , you can be blissfuly happy without even speaking, you just knw how eachother works and communication is so natural ,is kindav hard to descreibe, but love does exist not all people are douches. but not every type of person can find love you have to give love to recicve it and you have to et your ego go down a lot of notches too. look so hard you cry, prayto god that your lost, and maybe hopefully you can find love.
Saw him with the Splinter group in Scotland in 2003. They only did it as an instrumental as he was not ready to sing the lyrics. Must have been painful for him. Got his autograph and he looked so lost. What a talent.
Great to hear it again and feel about it the same as I did when I heard it first. This must be more like 45 years old though, rather than 35 as another comment suggested? Peter Green was so terrific and had a pure blues quality.
One of the all time greats, Peter green's songs have such an melancholic feel, yet they are so soothing and relaxing. the lyrics are also sooo damn earnest and I feel the same way.
err, got the album somewhere but from memory - Elton John Crocodile Rock, The Shangrilas Leader of the Pack, Coulson Dean Flint McGuiness Get your rocks off, Jonny and the Hurricanes Red River (Valley?) Rock , and thats it until I dig it out, it was 35 years ago after all!
Born in 65, mum and dad bought me a rock hits album when I was 11, this was on it and still knocks me sideways and makes me feel like a little scrote bag again.
I love this song so much. I only heard it for the first time last week when a friend sent it to me on Facebook. Iv watched this about 100 times since! Oh n I'm 23. ha :)
Hi everyone born 1954 london england my youth was spent luging gear around from gig to gig in chelsea the cafee, speak easy , markea i met many now well known bands in the early days my brother played keyboards ,i love this track its just so good words fail me, peace to all
Ranjeeb Don't remember? That might have been something you were taking. But a mere 33 year old (@necessarilyasian) would really have been growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, in the musical sense, and certainly wouldn’t remember the original Deep Purple, Sabbath or Zeppelin. Still, it's good to know these youngsters appreciate proper music. I'm sorry to have to inform you, but the great Buddy Holly died. I only know this because Don McLean told me. Keep the faith...
@Halifaxrod I remember this when it first came out even saw it live and as you say 40 yrs on still still sends the same chills and is as good as ever,
Yeah mate, bloody effective ad. Anytime I even consider having a pint when I've got to drive this song comes into my head and makes me think better of drink driving.
@jtowen06 that's unfair to the rest of the band jt. Green was genius no doubt about it, but most of Fleetwood Mac's other members were exceptionally talented aswell. Sure it was a different direction but certainly not a bad way, in my opinion of course

Peter Green was a musical genius, many of his contemporaries believed he was better than hendrix including hendrix himself. He suffered from depression and mental illness which he openly admits was brought on by the amount of acid he took in the late sixties. His technical ability and his skillful intuitive playing touched all who saw him live. BBKing said of him "He has the sweetest tone i have ever heard, he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats" Who am i to argue with that.
Such a wonderfully, beautiful touch. His (and their) feel for this is just fantastic.
Everyone has one perfect moment in their life. Peter Green's was captured on tape for us all to listen to for as long as we like. Truly, if I could have done this, I wouldn't have minded dying in the next heartbeat. It's just such a perfection.
At 61 and being fortunate to have seen the band with Peter and Jeremy early on and then seeing the transition through Kirwin, and then to one and then two women, and Lindsey, I have to say the early Mac blues was them at their best; phenomenal. What I remember the most from all those shows was Peter's playin' and Jeremy's slide guitar, but also Jeremy coming out dressed as and singin' Elvis. Damn!
You can keep Clapton, Page and Beck, Peter Green was the best white blues guitarist ever. "The only white blues player who made me sweat" as B.B. King said.
I was lucky enough to see them a couple of times. Funnily enough the B-side of this sad, yearning song was “Someone’s Gonna Get Their Head Kicked in Tonite”, credited to 'Earl Vince and the Valiants', - really the Mac mucking about.
Halfway through their act Jeremy Spencer came on in a gold Elvis suit and sing it. It's up on YouTube.
Nowt wrong in liking the works of a Genius ~ I've seen Peter Green play at a local Blues Festival many years after his Fleetwood days & he commanded a Standing Ovation from the most harsh unappreciative audience ever...He is as I say, a Genius!
Mr. Green certainly had a way with six strings, beautiful lyrics and gorgeous melodies...better than Clapton I think, he just couldn't keep up with the pace of "machine"...left some great tunes though, thanks for posting!
i'm 44, ive just heard this song on bbc.co.uk/6music/ (i know no one cares but this site is so good in my opinion that i want to promote it). i didnt know it was fleetwood mac but it seems ive known this song forever
This is so lovely, Peter Green is a true genius, he didn't have be a fast guitar wizard he just had to enchant you with a few simple notes :) Amazing!!! Yngwie Malmsteen eat your heart out, but you probably won't because it's likely that you just don't understand why I consider this guy a God!
I hope this song stays buried. If you want gold, you have to dig for it. God forbid they make a movie and Peter goes the way of Johnny Cash. Most people wouldn't get his stuff anyway. Thank God. Ian Anderson has said that this is his favorite song of all time. I agree, but it is so full of pain its hard to listen sometimes.
Blue Jays- Peter Green's Watch Out & Big Bad World. ---search this its a video of us playing one of peter greens songs watch out take one at a gig we're all only 16 but big Peter Green fans thanks we have a band original in the same video after watch out
@necessarilyasian i see nothing strange with it. i'm 33, i grew up with bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, and many others, and newer bands of course. I believe that good music will last and will be heard forever !
Hang on a minute - I was born in 1964 (I'm 47 to save you working it out) and I was too young to remember most of the bands you mentioned (well maybe Black Sabbath) so you either lived in a former life or you're a lot older than you think are! You've got good taste though!
@bluetop1970 well, i will answer with a Uriah Heep song, Traveller In Time,
i like newer bands and music too of course, and not only rock or metal music, but i always listen to the bands i grew up with, and i still look for music from the past, music that was very popular when i was not born yet :)
@KyriosMavrokefalos I'm quite similar, my search is for good music, wether it be technically brilliant or powerfully written, it happens a lot of what I've found comes from long before i was born, Dylan, Cohen, Fleetwood, James Cotton, i started with the music of my parents, and from that found so much more, there is a sense that modern music isn't as good in any sense, but i point towards Adam Cohen and also the eels, and suggest modern music is so much vaster in content than ever before...
@KyriosMavrokefalos ...... that its harder to push through the Jedwards and the 50 cents of the world to find good modern or new music. but fear not it is there. its just suppressed.
I was born in 65 and remember listening to the Woodstock album and Led Zep, Doors, Beatles and stones as a very young boy. My mother had and still has excellent taste in music and I was exposed to it from the womb and will be to the tomb! After the gold rush was my favorite album in 2nd or 3rd grade....sounds of silence was the coolest song when I was like 6 or 7...Its all about what your environment was. Peter Green has been a favorite musician to me since jr high...(78-80).
Respond to this video... Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac are timeless and sound beautiful...like so many from the era, their talent was far better than the equipment or medium used to capture them, even so, I think future generations of kids will be able to look past the poor medium and pick out the gold. I have subject my older teenage sons to everything from Yardbirds to Taj Mahal, zep, stones, Dylan, Band...they hear it now and you can see their eyes smiling and their ears twitching...
@bluetop1970 Why the fuck does it matter what age he is ? I recall this clearly, people in their TWENTIES do,and if you don't you aint too bright or have a major memory problem
@KyriosMavrokefalos Well I'm 68 next month (same age as Keith Richards). I have all those bands and many more on the original LP's, but also on my iPod. How lucky was I to be born when I was )))
@necessarilyasian Not at all. Age has nothing to do with liking good music, and just be happy you live in this era, with all the recordings to keep this great music around for new generations to enjoy.
Nothing strange about it at all! This is true music at its best and has stood the test of time. Peter Green, along with many others of that era, have influenced many of todays artists.
I must have been about 9 years old when I first heard Peter - 20 years later his music holds a special place in my heart. Great to see it carries on through the generations!
Peter Green was never 'kicked out the band' of Fleetwood Mac - he did however succumb to a cult in West Germany ( at the time ) and an Acid related culture. He went on to be further diagnosed as a Psychistophrenic and went through intrusive and invasive treatment for Bi Polar disorder. He survived whilst many 70's/80's rock/blues/etc didn't. Thankfully he is back - and doing minimal tours - not for the money - but for his art.
@british683 kicked out ? he had problems and didn t want to go on , without Peter Green , Fleedwood Mac had a bad time , they couldn t write a song and has no hit until 75 ,
@sxi2010 There's four now. That'd be a bloody good title for an album though 'One Shithead in Every Crowd.' It is hard to understand how anyone could not appreciate this masterpeice, but I suppose some people might find it depressing? If you'd written one song this good, you have to happy, wouldn't you?
loved it when it began, and still love it...now...so beautiful....so touching...so honest.., and yes i can and have cried to it..., so special...........we can all tell each other about our lives...and no one wants to be sad, and we all want to be in love forever and I dont want to be sad anymore and i wish I was in true lasting love...just like the song
Peter is the only blueser I ever heard who actually sounded (and played) like he REALLY meant it. If you think think this is a sad song, check out "Out of Reach", which he did with the Bluesbreakers a few years earlier. An unrecognised classic...
To fully understand and appreciate this piece of music you need to listen to it as many time as it takes to learn a foreign word,which according to modern psychology is SEVENTEEN!
Since I heard Jeff Buckley in January of 2001 I've learned that he is unmatched in overall talent. In a Jeff Buckley Documentary, Chris Cornell could only compare him to Jimi Hendrix. I just heard of Peter Green last week! I'm not going to attempt to explain who is better and why. What i'm trying to say is these guys have the total package like no other and i'm grateful for that. Which man is better at songwriting, guitar or singing? There's an argument for each category...maybe not guitar...
No, not a suicide note, just the blues. Listen to the lyrics again. "I've seen lots of pretty girls. I guess I've got everything I need. I wouldn't ask for more There is no one I'd rather be, but I just wish that I had never been born." In spite of happiness, life has an undercurrent of sorrow. Being in love just hides it for a while.
Life ends with death and separation, so we need to figure out how not to be born again. Suicide won't do — it doesn't remove the cause of birth.
Well, Smndorf, genius is consequence of splits and genetic explosion...Drugs did not heed nor enhance... Peter was effed up the moment he was conceived...
go and type in, the coverup, top floor and hear peter's closest nepthew, joe green, joe is the sax player in the band, go and have a listen, thank you
I thought I'd mention this as a comment to this song. There is clearly a connection between brilliant artistic achievement and clinical depression. Would that it weren't true, but having suffered from it, and having heard this song, it is hard to blame the Creator for giving some of us the disease. I think I'd trade a bit of agony to produce art like this.
@lebarosky there is a connection butt there is a reason I think you don't get something for nothing talent like Peter Green possessed and still I suspect may still have deep down must come at a large cost don't you think? Man cannot obtain anything without sacrificing something in return. and some use their depression to create beutifly powerfull songs Leonard Cohen for example.
I meant to say 'But , IN THIS VERSION, it sounds to me as if he actually sings "Or that I would be if I could" which seems to be a much better line and fits the meaning of the song better also.' Because in other versions he does sound as if he sings "Oh, but I would be if I could"
Love you pete

Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac are timeless and sound beautiful...like so many from the era, their talent was far better than the equipment or medium used to capture them, even so, I think future generations of kids will be able to look past the poor medium and pick out the gold. I have subject my older teenage sons to everything from Yardbirds to Taj Mahal, zep, stones, Dylan, Band...they hear it now and you can see their eyes smiling and their ears twitching...

Nothing strange about it at all! This is true music at its best and has stood the test of time. Peter Green, along with many others of that era, have influenced many of todays artists.
I must have been about 9 years old when I first heard Peter - 20 years later his music holds a special place in my heart. Great to see it carries on through the generations!

Peter Green was never 'kicked out the band' of Fleetwood Mac - he did however succumb to a cult in West Germany ( at the time ) and an Acid related culture. He went on to be further diagnosed as a Psychistophrenic and went through intrusive and invasive treatment for Bi Polar disorder. He survived whilst many 70's/80's rock/blues/etc didn't. Thankfully he is back - and doing minimal tours - not for the money - but for his art.

great song, so much emotion when you consider he knew he was getting kicked out of the band, and his ilness. Great man one of the greats of all time

@sxi2010 There's four now. That'd be a bloody good title for an album though 'One Shithead in Every Crowd.' It is hard to understand how anyone could not appreciate this masterpeice, but I suppose some people might find it depressing? If you'd written one song this good, you have to happy, wouldn't you?

Peter is the only blueser I ever heard who actually sounded (and played) like he REALLY meant it. If you think think this is a sad song, check out "Out of Reach", which he did with the Bluesbreakers a few years earlier. An unrecognised classic...

To fully understand and appreciate this piece of music you need to listen to it as many time as it takes to learn a foreign word,which according to modern psychology is SEVENTEEN!

Since I heard Jeff Buckley in January of 2001 I've learned that he is unmatched in overall talent. In a Jeff Buckley Documentary, Chris Cornell could only compare him to Jimi Hendrix. I just heard of Peter Green last week! I'm not going to attempt to explain who is better and why. What i'm trying to say is these guys have the total package like no other and i'm grateful for that. Which man is better at songwriting, guitar or singing? There's an argument for each category...maybe not guitar...

@GemandJoe
No, not a suicide note, just the blues. Listen to the lyrics again. "I've seen lots of pretty girls. I guess I've got everything I need. I wouldn't ask for more There is no one I'd rather be, but I just wish that I had never been born." In spite of happiness, life has an undercurrent of sorrow. Being in love just hides it for a while.
Life ends with death and separation, so we need to figure out how not to be born again. Suicide won't do — it doesn't remove the cause of birth.

I thought I'd mention this as a comment to this song. There is clearly a connection between brilliant artistic achievement and clinical depression. Would that it weren't true, but having suffered from it, and having heard this song, it is hard to blame the Creator for giving some of us the disease. I think I'd trade a bit of agony to produce art like this.
lebarosky 1 year ago
@lebarosky there is a connection butt there is a reason I think you don't get something for nothing talent like Peter Green possessed and still I suspect may still have deep down must come at a large cost don't you think? Man cannot obtain anything without sacrificing something in return. and some use their depression to create beutifly powerfull songs Leonard Cohen for example.

I meant to say 'But , IN THIS VERSION, it sounds to me as if he actually sings "Or that I would be if I could" which seems to be a much better line and fits the meaning of the song better also.' Because in other versions he does sound as if he sings "Oh, but I would be if I could"
