Brilliant. Green is my fav British Blues guitarist, by a long way, mclean, but I still think you're being a little harsh on messrs Page and Plant there.
One of the greatest lines ever to be heard....... 'Danny has broken a string.' .... Well, thank God for that!!! - Or we may never have seen or heard this amazing performance from this talented - and absolutely GORGEOUS, guy ...
what a shame the focal points of older music videos are often on the face of the performer. show the left hand. thats what i want to see. otherwise, an inspiring post
@jdsasser78 It is a matter of personal preference, but I would rank the Fleetwood Mac singer songwriters as follows (from best to 2nd best, etc.) Green, Welch, Kirwin, Spencer, C. McViegh, B'ham Nicks, etc.
@homegrownpa the name comes from black americans, but the Blues itself is universal. You got Blues in Africa, India, Eastern Europe, the Blues is a state of mind.
I used to go the Ricky Tic club in Windsor (England) 1966/ 67 and watch John Mayall with Clapton and then Peter Green - stood at the front - they were two feet away. They were both superb - made the hairs on your neck stand up. They were different from each other - that's why they were both great, Why try to say one was better than the other? - that so completely misses the point.
@xxxmicamicaxxx I wish I could say that. I believe you because I saw Elton John in a packed pub in London in 1970 before he made it big in U.S. I sat in front at a school gym in Hampstead Heath watching Rod Steward twirl his mic like a benzedrine baton-twirler in a homecoming parade. . . .The Stones in the Park . . . Canned Head in the rain. Peter Green the greatest is not forgotten.
I think everyone should just STOP with the stupid musican battles- so and so could kick so and so's ass- and just focus on Peter's amazing tone. Now THAT is something we can discuss.
@tiborzkarate Page is maybe more of a composition and creating textures guy, but he and Clapton are/were of course very fine players, improvising too... but I tend to agree with you, Green is like on an even higher spiritual level.. immidiately touching.. but it´s hard to be the one who compares people... hard to be the judge. And don´t forget Mick Taylor. Even on things after Exile there is gold, if you listen closely.
@silkysunshine Yep, me too. I have even tried to contact him, to say to him, I'll take you in, just come live with me and I'll understand you, and love you. oh, such sweet sorrow....
I don't know if there are only guys commenting on this - but PG was so damn good-looking .. If only he was around now - exactly the same as he was then ............ Beautiful, just beautiful .. And he comes across as so humble. Gorgeous smile...... .. Perfect...
@silkysunshine I second that, gorgeous, beautiful and humble. I have loved Peter since I was 14 and I'm 56 now. His voice, playing and his presence gives me goose bumps. Lovely man.
@sarasez1955 Ditto - apart from the '14' bit .. Didn't even know of him until recently! .. But, I'm making up for it now ;-) .. Where are guys who even LOOK like him now?? .. Love that look - always have - and it seems like I always will! ..
@silkysunshine ahh... he sure was.. glad somebody else noticed; that hair black & curly was just a dream and those brown eyes... I loved his style too, looks just made for him and the way his heads tilts from side to side at 2.46....lawd have mercy... Am the same age as him now but am 23 when I look at this clip.
@sheilamaclean1 I'm ashamed to say that I had never even seen him before the recent documentary on television! .. Always associated Fleetwood Mac with Stevie Nicks etc., and didn't like them .. But, Peter Green just mesmerises me .. His voice was so distinctive - I just can't stop listening to him - and watching him! ;-) .. Just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous .. I, too wish I was still 23! (Who doesn't?!) :-)
I have listened to so much o f this 'genre' of music,since finding it in my youth, and quite frankly a lot of it bores me now. But here is a museum piece that will never fail the test of time. The delivery, the pure musicality of the piece , is in my opinion up there with the greats. An inspiration to future players, as long as the earth is in one piece!!
while everyone was away to either change a broken string or have a smoke,Peter had to entertain the audience all alone.The result of this effort was one of the best blues acts.
@SupaGlitch Too right, embarrassing when I see Peter Green given that crappy compliment: "best white blues player." Imagine seeing "best black classical pianist" as if, given that so and so is black, and while of course he's not as good as whites, still he's really good.
When I listen to music it's sound I'm listening to, not some idea of the skin colour of the human at the other end of it.
@SupaGlitch I think your right, I think all that stuff goes back to the fact that blues originated with the black americans, and of course there were/are some trully great artists from that corner, but it has been proven time and again that the white man can also express that emotion, as Peter clearly demonstrates.
As a man of many faiths, Clapton is god , Jimi is jesus, Duane is the holy ghost and Peter Green the kat you all leave of your list. This man at a young age flipped his neck pick up on his les paul, covered Elmore james and named/ gave birth to one of the largest bands in history. Not to metion gave Santana his biggest hit, guy is the the truth with one of the most sought after guitar tones in history. Nobody lays down a Les Paul like PG nobody.
i really want this boston tea party on cd but i dont know which to get, i think theres a few. i dont want it all re done and messed with, i just want exactly what i hear on here. any advice please?.
@JacksSmirk1ngRevnege ""peter plays the kinda blues that clapton wont ever be able to"" why even mention that man..? neither are out to one up the other, theyre just playing. and no blues is uncapable of playing over the other its all music.
@HendrixClaptonSRV because since the age of ten i was sent to eliminate falsehoods and oft repeated halftruths. clapton and hendrix are held up to be the pinnacle of guitar playing - theyre not. people youve probably never heard of like robert johnson and blind willie johnson were. they made cheap accoustics sound like a clapton wet dream.. but thats by the by, just saying imho peter green is/was THE seminal british blues guitarist. he speaks to my soul like son house did/does. clapton does not
@JacksSmirk1ngRevnege nah im deep into the roots of blues, so i know of all of them. patton, johnson, john hurt, son house, willie mctell, etc. im a fanatic. clapton and hendrix would both agree that RJ should be held up and not them in the main light. but you cant control how people react and how they criticize. im right there with you in saying that Peter Green IS IT. they're all good in their own way. but clapton wrote the book man.. white contemporary blues 101. you cant deny it man
@JacksSmirk1ngRevnege Oh no - the early Clapton was able - Anyway most of the good bluesguitarists are gone. (Gary Moore, Rory Callagher,Calvin Russell, Jimi Hendrix, Roy Buchanan, SRV, Albert Collins, Albert King, T-Bone Walker, Lightnin Hopkins, John Lee Hooker). So it is better to keep the blues alive and not thinking about, who is the best anymore.
thanks for posting this; so great to hear PG doing something on his own because of a burst string; indebted to Danny Kirwan; this a classic blues that will enter the blues history book; so raw it tugs at the heart and chokes you up
I swear I've watched this video 1,000 times over the years. FM's 'Live at the Boston Tea Party vol. 1' changed my life when I was around 14 yrs old (10 yrs ago) That soul cannot and will not ever be re-created.
I have pictures of Peter Green stuck to my diary which I take everywhere and recently a friend told me he looked like a hippy Jesus...well whatever to me Peter Green is the god of the blues.
Damn that Les Paul sounds and looks fucking amazing. Does anyone know if he actually has his Phase reversed like the Jimmy page LP? The clean sound is so poppy and awesome!
@willeng84 Pete actually had the rythm pickup flipped accidentally, thus giving him the out of phase tone. To achieve that full tonal perfection, he flicks the switch between treble and rythm. Jimmy page was a huge fan of green and decided he wanted that sound. He had it put on his number one les paul by almost a button that he pushed down on his control tones. Thus giving him the out of phase tone
Everyone borrows things from others in life. That is called LEARNING. You can't NOT be influenced by other people in the world. The key is to listen to as much good music as possible if you want to be a good musician, that and lot's of practice and meditating deeply and letting go completely into the music with no inhibitions. Peter Green had it all, and anyone that doubts it needs to clean out their ears and stop analyzing things so much. Feel what he's doing.
Belive it or not Free energy is real,But there are very powerfull forces that want to supress the technology,Get a motor that needs no gas or electric input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Start the revolution!
It really isn't ironic he lost his mind, or more specifically taste for the music industry and got screwed over by the band. I'd say it's only fitting, for a man who played the blues so well. Whenever you find a good blues player, you know they're in for it, some way or another.
@GotsTricks What do you mean by "...and got screwed over by the band"? Actually, Mick Fleetwood worked hard to help Fleetwood Mac members like Peter and Danny, like it was family, far as I know.
@GotsTricks . PG decided to leave anyway on his own merit. If he was pushed out why did he return when JS walked out on the US tour. Surely if there was bad blood then he wouldn't have helped to complete the tour.
if i ad up all the people that didnt like all the videos of peter green they kind of ad up to the same number of people that get hit by lightning..... is it a coincidence...???

thanks for posting this; so great to hear PG doing something on his own because of a burst string; indebted to Danny Kirwan; this a classic blues that will enter the blues history book; so raw it tugs at the heart and chokes you up

Second only to Rory Gallagher, and that is in no way insulting to either of them.

I swear I've watched this video 1,000 times over the years. FM's 'Live at the Boston Tea Party vol. 1' changed my life when I was around 14 yrs old (10 yrs ago) That soul cannot and will not ever be re-created.
I love all ya'lls comments too.

I have pictures of Peter Green stuck to my diary which I take everywhere and recently a friend told me he looked like a hippy Jesus...well whatever to me Peter Green is the god of the blues.

Damn that Les Paul sounds and looks fucking amazing. Does anyone know if he actually has his Phase reversed like the Jimmy page LP? The clean sound is so poppy and awesome!
willeng84 1 year ago
@willeng84 Pete actually had the rythm pickup flipped accidentally, thus giving him the out of phase tone. To achieve that full tonal perfection, he flicks the switch between treble and rythm. Jimmy page was a huge fan of green and decided he wanted that sound. He had it put on his number one les paul by almost a button that he pushed down on his control tones. Thus giving him the out of phase tone

Everyone borrows things from others in life. That is called LEARNING. You can't NOT be influenced by other people in the world. The key is to listen to as much good music as possible if you want to be a good musician, that and lot's of practice and meditating deeply and letting go completely into the music with no inhibitions. Peter Green had it all, and anyone that doubts it needs to clean out their ears and stop analyzing things so much. Feel what he's doing.

It really isn't ironic he lost his mind, or more specifically taste for the music industry and got screwed over by the band. I'd say it's only fitting, for a man who played the blues so well. Whenever you find a good blues player, you know they're in for it, some way or another.

@GotsTricks What do you mean by "...and got screwed over by the band"? Actually, Mick Fleetwood worked hard to help Fleetwood Mac members like Peter and Danny, like it was family, far as I know.

PG wanted to donate their money to charities after an extreme acid trip. Rest of the band ostracized him.
GotsTricks 1 year ago 2
@GotsTricks . PG decided to leave anyway on his own merit. If he was pushed out why did he return when JS walked out on the US tour. Surely if there was bad blood then he wouldn't have helped to complete the tour.
