THE PETER GREEN STORY: MAN OF THE WORLD Official Trailer

[Gto1927]

The complete documentary has been posed twice that I am aware of. It has been removed I suspect by aspect film.

[axedaddyx]

One of the very best to ever hold a guitar, the record "Then Play On" is a favorite from Peter Green and the original Fleetwood Mac...a stunning and brilliant ton of outstanding players each member playing at their best level...wow, I was fortunate to hear them and see them live and I played their music a lot. Peter Green was great and that group of players were pure magic! listen to the 3 guitars kicking of that record....ouch!

[TwangEmHigh]

As a guitarist and a lover of rock and blues, I worship at the altar of the Green God. I bought Fleetwood Mac Live at the Boston Tea Party in about '86. It was a German import and one of the first compact discs I ever got. Changed my life. And I quickly realized Greenie had influenced a lot of people - artists I was already a big fan of - like Santana and The Allman Brothers. I went out and got a Les Paul right away!

Drugs and life...

Whoever has seen the full movie, can you please post a brief review of it? THX.

[bipolarbert]

"Man of the World: must be one of the saddest songs ever written - "I just wish that I had never been born". And although his subsequent work never reached the same heights again, his resolve to continue making music almost equals that of Brian Wilson.

[refusetolose103]

Somebody please post this whole documentary on You Tube--it would be greatly appreciated if you allready have it---Thanks.

[wolves750]

He looks exactly like Shaun White! 

[ablondenortherngirl]

I find this such a great insight into such a wonderful talented man, having seen this documentary many times,its good to know, that after all the torment he went through,he looks at peace with himself,and back to what he does best.

[jefduf]

@hexcane Hey,i do remember seeing that movie on youtube but i can't find it anymore,can you give me a title or something so i can find it.Also,i've seen another documentary about fleetwood mac first time in san francisco,taking owsley acid and tripping too much! I don't know if you saw that one though,do u know what i'm talking about? thank's

[Barnekkid]

Don't forget Danny Kirwan, who suffered a fate similar to Greens. I understand since then he hasn't done as well. Too bad. He was as intense a blues player as Green, and perhaps more so.

[affectionatepunch]

Thats a nice pic of peter fishing he looks at peace with himself.I hope so anyway he deserves it...

[sheilamaclean]

@hexcane I agree; a lots of unanswered and un-asked questions. Could it have been PG had arranged to meet them at the airport - he was already planning for leave FM - only he knows what prior communications took place. It's such a horrible twist of fate that this Munich bunch were never identified, investigated or charged - they just stole a great musician's soul and he is still paying the price. Somebody must know who they were. Their road manager for instance.

[Magicquickfingers]

[wolves750]

@AspectFilmLtd I'm in the U.S. and I cannot find any dvds that will play here. All versions to buy online are compatible for "region 2" dvd players while the U.S. is "region 1". Do you know how I can find a region 1 dvd?

[tyleryesta1]

It use to be up on youtube about 5 months ago. I just went to watch it again and of course it's be taken down.

[theheronmagnet]

Peter's body of work

speaks for itself

and will have lasting appeal

for quite some time

[chiefthing]

Too sad to watch : - ( Greenie is simply the best. No other guitar player

has given me as much joy. Greenie, Jeremy, and Danny were beyond compare. Too bad they all fell out of their prams. "The only man to ever make me sweat." -BB King on Peter Green. They cite the oft-repeated statement that the Mac outsold the Beatles and Stones combined in 1969. That was in UK album sales I believe.

[comradet0m]

Peter Green himself has said that he wasn't sure whether the LSD created the Schizophrenia, or just released it. Mick Fleetwood, people are still talking about it because he was the only one of the 60s Blues revival guitarists who could give Chuck Berry the willies

[cbc51]

This whole thing was on here, and was taken off. Shame, because it's not available in the US.

[arbelene07]

schizophrenia is not a disease you get from taking acid. drug abuse can precipitate the onset of the disease, but to blame taking acid for the development of schizophrenia is a misunderstanding of mental illness. dr dave

[leslwhits]

@arbelene07 You are absolutely correct.

[slowuncle]

oh puleese, lay off Carlos---you sound like you think Santana did in Peter! Save your sanctimony for your pub mates. Stop crying about the tragedy and enjoy Green's incredible music. I do so every week, and I don't waste my energy on the maudlin, morose wah-wah.

Jeez

[zaldivarjohn]

@slowuncle

Carlos said "I don't blame what happened to Peter Green on LSD or anything. It's all about finding that peace with-in yourself"

What is wrong with saying that?

[Vallelym123]

Fuck Carlos

[BillyBobsEel]

Anyone know where i can see that whole music video? i can't seem to find it on youtube

[AlanSturgess]

Carlos Santata bangs on about his spritiual connections as if he is some sort of musical messiah with a god-given channel to musical expression.

He dismisses PG's problems and the effects of LSD and doesn't have the common grace to acknowledge that what he does now has largely been ripped off from the early playing of Peter Green - and rarely does his 'spiritual connection' ever produce music as heartfelt and soulful as all that early music by the true source of his inspiration.

[claytonave]

@MrMeddled . I think it's important to be aware that Peter and Syd are two examples of people who had some psychological issues/damage before they took hallucinogenics. I don't know how anyone would recognize this within themselves but I know of many who were looking for a new view of life and found it but also a few who were damaged. Personally I felt very adapted to 'psychedelia' and very comfortable, haven't done LSD since '77 and don't want to but I feel like I gained much that has stayed

[JulieBaclene]

No comments?? This is THE man. This is THE song. AND a very sad tale

[toecutterr6]

What old black and white video is playing here?

[TheLordrochester]

It's nice to see Mick Fleetword still being there for Green all these years later! True friend!

[debstaszkiw]

this is a trailer????? When does the film come out?????

And what did Carlos Santana say??? He doesn't believe or he doesn't blame LSD?????? Peter Green's BMW is beautiful....Carlos should be greatful for that!!!!!

[chinatree1]

Yes we're still talking about it - what does that tell you? :) Thanks for posting.

[theminimumdog]

Where is the rest of this series? Is it no longer on youtube?

[melchizedekism]

greatest living blues guitarist no one has that touch.

[iusemiro]

"The people that did that to him" sounds interesting. Who did what to him? Did the other members of Fleetwood Mac trick him into taking drugs to get rid of him or was it the people in the Munich commune?

[iusemiro]

No I'm not going to watch the film. It doesn't interest me that much.

[alexgoodbourn]

saw him last night at the union chapel, still has the tone of old

[helenmelon1000]

I was lucky enough to see Peter Green on Friday night - he was amazing!!! Love the music, love the man.

[X9Bull]

I saw peter green perform last nyt in birmingham and he was brilliant!!! he can make the guitar talk fantastic.

[iusemiro]

mentally scarred for life groovy

[BluegrassJedi]

@AvaCamalla santana completely ripped off green

[stanslowe]

@AvaCamalla i agree im a carlos fan but what he saids embarassing... i hope pete keeps playing..peace

[AvaCamalla]

Mick Fleetwood says ..still talking about it 40 years later...thats whats interesting...People talk about it because Peter Green made Fleetwood Mac...he was a genius..and if he hadn't of succumbered to the hell of drugs...God knows what impact his music would've had on the world...a classical one off

[blessiththechily]

@AvaCamalla it was the very opposite of hell... his trip took him to spiritual places

[davystratman]

A great guitarist - probably tonally, as good as anyone. As for Man Of The World - brilliant but terribly sad story.
