Peter Green - Jumping at Shadows

[heapbigtalk]

yall would like terry eckard ~ old time blues man :o) i love this !! thank you for putting this where we can hear it ~

[chymist66]

I've only ever seen Gary Moore play this live. Which is in itself was fanstastic to see. Peter Green was Gary's hero. Gary played this well but this is just a sublime performance.

[kw219251]

Just incredibly moving; even though Peter Green didn't write this song, he certainly lived it. It wasn't long after this that he went off the deep end. This is quite possibly the most powerful, beautiful blues performance I've ever heard.

[mackles67]

this sends shivers down my spine each time i hear it. not everyone likes the blues but i can't believe people can listen to that and dislike it. if that is the case why look for peter green / fleetwood mac music in the 1st place just stick to your plastic fabricated pop shit and leave the quality stuff to those who appreciate the real music

[Fatneckguitars]

I first heard this 20 years ago and I can still listen everyday and it never gets old.

[publicshadow1]

Seeing that even 8 people dislike it was like taking an arrow to the knee.

[oclero]

I think Danny Kirwan played the lead parts

[fieldfullofthistles]

My favourite version too. Thanks for this awesome post. The best blues guitar playing on the planet.

[Ukiwi]

Underated..Underplayed.. maybe his material has been saved for us to appreciate now after all the other "sound alikes" have faded away? Peter Green is Blues in the purest ageless form.

[10leemac]

so much respect for this man

[villah]

incredible

[occams99]

This motherfucker can play some subtle blues, damn those fingers can fiddle. It's not the balls out challenge, it's the creep and the whisper that hypnotizes the spirit. This man got a doctorate in dynamics. It's like staring at the sun.

[DirtyDeck]

I challenge you to find an equal display of artistry in blues guitar.

[Willinthehall]

@DirtyDeck Slow Blues - Jimi Hendrix

Born Under A Bad Sign - Jimi Hendrix Got any other tracks like this one you can show me? I've only just been turned onto Mr.Green.. or maybe I should say turned on by Mr.Green.

[DirtyDeck]

@Willinthehall @Willinthehall And so begins a beautiful journey.Check out his coverofFreddieKing's The Stumble, beautiful stuff. This ishim aged 21 I think, beautiful phrasing. Check out all the live versions of Stop Messin Around, some awesome playing to be heard :D

[nickp944]

@Willinthehall Get all the 'original' Fleetwood Mac albums. Once you've digested those, seek out all the live recordings in collector circles. The you can get his 'comeback' stuff from the 80's, which have their moments, but the period of brilliance lasted from '65 or so through about '71. He, the Clapton of Cream and Jimi remain an unparalleled Holy Trinity in my book.

[rlfreeman53]

40+ years, and it still makes me cry.

[1991NeonAngel]

Peter my love!! <3333

The blues is the sexiest music 

[Lostchord1000]

There are several really great live versions by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, but this is the best of the lot, in my opinion. Just about the greatest blues guitar I've ever heard, for feel and tone. Magical!!! Peter is in fine voice, too. Those 8 or so people who gave it thumbs down obviously know nothing about guitar playing, or music in general, come to that!!!

[laduskadam]

skvělé blues a ještě skvělejší Peter Green !!!!!

[cameltooth1]

Mick Taylor.

[cameltooth1]

Bloomfield.

[babiixoxbritty]

the tone of the 59 les paul is unmatched, mixed with the right player.

[noreply45]

just thinking about my life

[jezbobb]

No doubt about it, he had the touch.

[danfairclough]

I've hit replay so many times!

[boycieboy100]

Excellance

[lGnossos]

I hate to disparage other musicians, but this is the pinnacle of white guy blues.

[bruces3]

@lGnossos not a bad guy to have representing us...

[islaeve100]

such a cool song. hes brilliant.

PETER GREEN IS GOD!!! ~ WOLF JAMES

[heutsz73]

nobody s better .i am 58 now ,heard a lot of great players in my life ,but just listin to this and enjoy . this is the best,greetings from holland

[Moistmuscle]

Could sit and play along to this for a week and not get one inch closer to his tone. Perfect seems a bit too lazy a description.

[FlashYes1]

A masterpiece. 

[kimbojaap]

@itsnotinthisbox Fleetwood Mac without Peter Green is just a totally different band. They just happen to have to same name. Stevie Nicks wasn't bad, but i don't think Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green ever thought they would make that kind of music. This is Blues in its most stripped down, honest, soul touching way.

[slowhand44dz]

wonderfull

[Moistmuscle]

peter green is without equal.

[Ducic1]

Tears ?



[picajoool]

Does anyone have the whole concert from them that is from this time era?

[CptCool44]

@picajoool @picajoool this recording is from "live at the boston tea party" there is an album out, which can be hard to find, bur grooveshark has the whole thing. its great

[picajoool]

@CptCool44

I found album on Amazon, Live in Boston 1&2&3?

Is that what your saying?

[CptCool44]

@picajoool Yep I checked Amazon thats the one.

[NathanBellSax]

You can hear the unclipped string ends rattling when he does the vibrato. ;)

[clikityclak]

@NathanBellSax

Is that a good or a bad thing? lol you're not being clear! haha

[NathanBellSax]

@clikityclak

Neither, it's just interesting. I never clip my string ends, so I get the same thing sometimes.

[claptoned0]

Very good quality of sound

[nightman333]

There is no color with blues...this strikes me in the heart everytime I hear it...great song

[affeikmksnjfnjnxfsdf]

how can you fucking dislike this damn

[pdxcubbies]

awesome! what album is this from?

[peonwarrior]

@pdxcubbies Live at Boston Tea Party

[EPIPHONE82]

@peonwarrior mate on that cd is it this exact live version on there or an original recording?. i want this exact song on cd. thanks.

[peonwarrior]

@EPIPHONE82 well to my mind there are only 2 version of jumping at shadows plaid by Fleetwood mac, this one and another from a live too, u can find it on "Man Of The World : the Anthology.

But the song has been written by Duster Bennett at least u can find an original recording. This version is an extract from a live/

[clikityclak]

Very gentle and soft touch

[mikebloomfirld66]

@Campermanist couldnt agree with you more.love peter green.my favorite is mike bloomfield....

[hipadubreymccready]

luv this style and so smooth, more more! thanks 4 posting

[pdxcubbies]

Great! Thanks so much!

[TheVimFuego]

Peerless

[kissyxander]

I've been a blues fan all my life, nigh on 50 years, and Greeny hangs with ANYBODY here, including the 3 kings...

[peonwarrior]

Répondre à cette vidéo... I can hear a lot of BBKing in Peter Green's blues.

[eskimodog12]

i lik e this blues song as well..

[Eiliff1]

I keep coming back to this song. Absolutely beutiful!!! So happy i descoverd the genius that is Peter Green

[lungflogger9]

His playing and singing is beyond authentic and just crushes me as a musician and lousy blues singer....but Peter continues to be my inspiration; that I may someday in my life perform just one song, in my bedroom, or on stage, that approaches his feeling....The Jesus of Guitar in my opinion. DownHill Phil

[Babyhowdy233]

@lungflogger9

"The Jesus of Guitar"..I love that! So very true. I will have to share that with Peter when I see him next time!

[selbwan]

the most soulful sounds i have ever heard!!!

it so true of my life up to now!

[sedod66]

My dad just introduced me to him not long ago. I'm pissed off it's only took the bastard 25 years! This is probably the best piece of blues guitar I've ever heard. Can't stop listening to it.

[mikebloomfirld66]

@sedod66 peter is great. try mike bloomfield

[MoreDanYouKnow]

@sedod66 i feel you dude. I'm 27 and I only discovered Peter Green 3 hours ago. Where has this been all my life!

[sedod66]

@MoreDanYouKnow ha totally! i cant wait to discover more stuff like this.

[boweryhester]

@sedod66 maybe be glad you've got a dad who's cool enough to know about pg.

he's only one of the heaviest guys in town.

[clermont1230]

@sedod66 I have got nearly all Peter Greens music and always searching for more. Saw him live with splinter group, hes still the best guitarist I have heard.

[sedod66]

@clermont1230 you are a lucky man! yeah he is definatley one of the best ive ever heard. i had always loved guitar like hendrix's little wing. and when i heard peter green he was the only other guy who could play with the same if not more emotion.

there was an amazing song of his i heard playing in a restaurant that my dad told me was him, and ive still never found out what it was called!

[clermont1230]

@sedod66 Haha ;; i am a lucky woman.--think I was smitten with him--such soul.Was the tune an instumental? Was it Bandit? one of my real favs. :)

[sedod66]

@clermont1230 ha my apologies! a lucky woman!

no im sure he was singing as well, it was a real chilled out bluesy song. im gonna go check out bandit though!

[5150pb]

@sedod66 give Eddie Hazel a listen. Maggot Brain first then follow that. I know he played with Parliment a fuck band but they were also rock and blues.

[sgguitar77]

When I met BB King about ten years ago, we talked about Green. Even now, BB gets moved just saying Peter's name. What an awesome, awesome talent.

[DUI59]

PG - The greatest blues guitarist of all time :D

[vadimkorobicyn]

Суперская гитара с суперскими руками.....Пальцами....Душой..­..Сердцем,браво....браво...бра­виссимо!!!

[danfairclough]

simply brilliant

[JamieMorganBlues]

Just wonderful, soulful expressive genius

[usuqamadiq]

Was the original written by Bennett or Fleetwood Mac?

[GoliamNos]

omg. i love peter green. thanks for posting!!!!!

omg!!! so much other great peter green songs here in you tube!!!! fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GoliamNos]

omg. i love peter green. thanks for posting!!!!!

[1470timmy]

i am no Guitarist but what Peter did with his strat and also les paul is pure blues with sole i no sound a little coruped but Jimmy did the same played with blue sole

[metalliczombie]

@1470timmy Huh?

[lbogie]

I didnt want it to end



[obbor4]

A tone that goes through the bone...

[jonboykane]

Jumping at Shadows is a song I always come back to at times of change in my life... so damn powerful. Peter Green is a legend. I saw him play in Edinburgh back around turn of the millennia, he had only just come back from all those years away. His voice was so shot he could barely get some notes out, bitter sweet. What he could sing was pure magic and he still played the guitar like it was strung right through your soul.

[electricnorseman]

In the presence of genius.

[Eiliff1]

This is simply one of the most beutiful songs ever recorded. Peter Green is a blues god!

[cptmainwaring]

This has now been my favorite song for about a year. The tone he achieved on this is otherworldly. It's just so timeless, Peter probably had to take LSD and go effectively mad just to give an outlet to the "blues", "talent" etc whatever you want it. let's face it all the geniuses go mad.

[ChingaChe]

@cptmainwaring Peter didn't do acid or play high for most of his career. Alex Dmochovsky, a great bassist , but a prick, told me that during the recording of "End of the Game" Peter was taking acid everyday. When I met Pete in '68 and 69 he was stone-cold sober and a humble genius. The german hippies destroyed a wonderful man.

[legbider]

No one could come close to the absolutely the BEST blues tune ever recorded! Absolute perfection.

[clikityclak]

Almost like a curse... We will never know the true secrets to the tone of ole Pete, since after Munich and all the sadness that followed.. only he knew what he had, maybe others but only truely him and only him knew the secrets to this " Tone" if you will, I wouldnt brand it such a label.. its more like some sort of spirit that he caught with his guitar

[nunestunes]

i first picked up the guitar because of srv and hendrix but out of my love for them i didnt wanna be a clone to that style so when i started exploring more into the blues then on the same day i found peter green i also found michael bloomfield that was one of the greatest days of my life!

[MrJerlucas]

i can't seem to get enough of this song...



[boweryhester]

addicting

[TinomusicTM01]

Brilliant . Full of feeling

[aerycksmusic]

Undeniably one of the most brilliant songs ever played.

[jeremyrebelka]

Best guitar tone I ever heard for sure

[latinoyam]

this is from another world !!!

[GOTTAVAGO]

PG IS GOD

[Snakedancedan]

Peter Green one of the greatest guitar players an human beings born to this earth. This song changed my life an made me a guitarplayer. Thanks man.

[brianpage100]

This is possibly my favorite blues song of all time. It is the one I find the most cathartic, and the one that holds the biggest resonance with me. Even though it may be a cover, Peter Geen more than makes it his own through a stellar performance that could put many skilled blues players to shame. When I listen to this song, I look at all the trials I have endured, and this song can soothe a weary mind and soul. Thank you, Mr. Greenbaum for all you have given us.

[ChingaChe]

@brianpage100 Peter played guitar on a great album by duster bennett as they both played for mike vernon and blue horizon records. It was a signature song for both. God bless Duster. It's been 35 years since his tragic passing.

[Eiliff1]

@brianpage100 I could'nt agree more. The tone Peter Green found during this preformance is just epic!

When it comes to tecnicaly right guitar playing, there may very well be better players than Green, but when it comes to soul and feel, theres no match. if this does'nt grab your hart, you dont have one in my opinion.

[brianpage100]

@Eiliff1 I agree, well said.

[Victoriasoulmusic]

amazing

[im4out]

magical......just magical..

[silkysunshine]

Such a terrible tragedy that he took the path that he did. A remarkably talented, gifted and , let's not forget (for us girls!) - a gorgeous looking guy! Wish he was around today - looking like that! Seemed so sensitive and felt so guilty for all the money they were making. Beautiful sentiment, but it was his ruination - and the drugs, of course. Sad, sad, sad.

[kemposoefi]

No matter which rendition of this fabulous song, when my day was crap, I'd listen to the best blues band ever and fade away on this pure emotion. I cannot help getting emotional every time and think of the good people I miss every day. Always very sweet of Mr. Green to give Duster Bennett the credits of the song. Also this great talent has passed away, way too soon. May he rest in peace. Thank you very much for posting! Peace to you all, Fred.

[willowalbums]

he's playing again, my brother saw him up in Canada not long ago, said he was still a great guitarist.

[jblackmd1]

perfect

[babadelh]

green is the real incarnation of the blues's god

[satellitetune]

I liked your video very much.

[gwk4657]

I liked your video very much.

Keep coming back to this, its the best blues ive ever heard

[The123tanner]

@ybot1983 try the supernatural!!

[iriewaregl]

perfection!!!!

[yoursatan]

My father always said to me: Son, you can buy any guitar you like, as long as it's a 1959 Gibson Les Paul...

[bluzebaby]

Simply beautiful.

[xoxJustSomeGirl]

I LOVE THIS GUY .. LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM ...

[blackpudscoffer]

best white blues guitarist ever !! that solo is awesome!!!

[kettuantti]

The solos were played by the great Danny Kirwan, I think

[blackpudscoffer]

@kettuantti some were played by Danny! but this is Peter !

[peonwarrior]

@kettuantti The solo is played by PeterGreen himself :) , and this is definatly his style.

[hackett999]

Amazing song. Never listened to old FM before I heard this, so thanks to andria for the upload. This is my fave song for ages

[jujumatt]

This is really great it makes me want to cry.

[MackDaddiSRK]

@ epiphone 82. I have an amazing version of this on a Peter Green compilation called "green shadows". Excellent album, well worth looking for. All his best electric blues from fleetwood mac and also his solo career after his schizophrenic breakdown, with some great alternate longer versions of the classics. Saw him live last year. Older and slower, but still with the same amazing feel and THAT unmistakable Peter green guitar tone. What a player.

[Frontierblues]

there hasnt been a guitar player like this in years,Im gonna try like hell,Lord knows I have paid a good part of dues over the years. Maybe someday,someone might hear and feel what I put out too..

[cwazywabbit1]

when they eventually manage to put me in the ground . this is the soundtrack , or else

[jonqeee]

my life anthem, this is what i said to my friend..

[Marooned2010]

Clapton cries when he hears PG playing  like this.

This is the Blues gone Green

[aubreyaardvark]

@Marooned2010 what makes me want to cry is how badly this guy fell apart...one of the most skilled and soulful guitarists i ever heard...this is a beautiful song

[aubreyaardvark]

@Marooned2010 what makes me want to cry is how badly this guy fell apart...one of the most skilled and soulful guitarists i ever heard...this is a beautiful song with ass-kicking guitar

[johnhguitar]

And people make fun of me for using too much reverb! This is magic!

[OropherThranduil]

@Marooned2010

Clapton got no reason to cry.

His nickname is God ofr a reason, his Bluesbreakers album opened up the whole british blues scene to real raw sounds, like the animals, and blistering solos, that album was the first to perfectly match those blistering high speed energy blues solos with the hardness of the blues without the pop appeal of the post-clapton yardbirds.

[slownoman]

@Marooned2010 Everyone does, or should. I've heard 'em all, from Son House through Muddy on up the line. Peter Green belongs in the pantheon, no doubt. But I've heard Eric play this well. I've hear Michael Bloomfield play this well. Hendrix, once, when Albert king opened and Jimi couldn't get by humping his guitar or picking with his teeth. Reverend Gary Davis. Son House, playing Death Letter Blues, 1969. Never did see Stevie Ray, but he belongs in the conversation, no doubt. Blues rule.

[seedogreed]

Freak, what bitch hijacked the BTea P these days? Media turmoiled America. Shut off your Tv's and remember Crazy Horse !

[Twist1202]

I went through much troubles with a girl and an addiction which im still fighting to never experience again...And I tell you what. No other guitarist was as good of a soul remedy as Green.

[seedogreed]

@Twist1202 Feel for you. Been to Fool no More, yet/

[mikebloomfirld66]

@Twist1202 stay strong brother,dont let it get you...ROCK ON

[KMHRocker]

@Twist1202 Amen bro. Amen

[JIMMYBUSHIDO]

simply superb !!!!!!!

ive got thelive version where he tells the audience its a duster bennet number,

typical peter, always giving credit to everyone else

[EPIPHONE82]

@JIMMYBUSHIDO mate please tell me exactly what that album is called so i know what to buy.

[silkysunshine]

@EPIPHONE82 Live In Boston Remastered Vol. 2 .. and The Blues Years ..

[JIMMYBUSHIDO]

@EPIPHONE82

sorry mate, i downloaded the version off of the internet, so havent got it on an album

[ANDRWjory]

This would have to be one of the most awesome blues songs I have heard in a while - Peter - you "own" this song!

[ChaneLemons]

What is wrong with ppl who dislike this man's songs? Yeah your right.. nothing. I bet your finger just slipped :D

THIS MAN IS LEGENDARY!

[monsmeg1]

The truth will out....Peter is excellent.......a message to us all

[legbider]

Best blues song ever!

[hawesyboy]

Heard this track for the first time only a couple of days ago and was totally blown away by it. Simply amazing ! Have gone straight out and bought the Boston Blues album off the back of this.

[Jedizen07]

My first time exposure to Peter. Lovin it BIG time!

[nightman333]

I don't see black or white when I hear this...just great fuckin blues by one of the best....

[0live0wire0]

so emotional it hits me straight in the heart. i should stop talking to people who dislike this.

[redwhitch17]

Sensational.......

[cptmainwaring]

I think we are all missing the point that although PG is never going to be that guitar player we see in those early vids he actually sings BETTER than he ever did

[sidcoon2010]

great playing and what a voice! PG's the best.

[cptmainwaring]

I don't know how t o describe the way this makes me feel. The guitar is off the scale awesome and the vocal just mesmerizing.

[willy12345ization]

It get's no better ladies and gentleman.. this is it.. this is the man.
