Absolutely in the Top Ten Greatest Songs Ever Written!

[HydeKelso123]

@seandeyoung01 I mean no disrespect, I am a huge fan of Zeppelin and also Fleetwood (especially the early Peter Green days). However, your comment is a bit odd considering both bands came into rock and roll in the same time frame- the crucial 1967-1975 window. But more than that- all great blues rock bands 'took a lot' from the original greats like Johnson and Muddy. But the most important thing is... this is a great tune, man.

there was a very good version of this on an lp called without portfolio from early 70s, which would be good to find, if this is not the same one.

@loufromperu65 it's no secret that Page is a huge fan of Peter Green . I can hear alot of Green in Page's improv lines on several of Led Zeppelin's concert bootlegs.

@loufromperu65 you have got youtube link?

Somewhere around the early part of the 5 minute mark reminds me of a part that I've heard from Led Zeppelin's "Song Remains The Same" album - That part where the band is vamping on something right before they go into a few bars of "If You're Going To San Francisco".

Try using GOOGLE Chrome when logging into your account. I did and was then allowed to upload videos longer in length than I was with IE8. I'm now able to upload 30+ minutes, may be even more, but I haven't tried.

This is by far one of the greatest songs ever preformed live. I'm 63 and I saw the first Mac shows at the Wiskey. The first show was canceled because Jeremy Spencer had disappeared. We all know what happened to him. In 1972 Peter Green moved in upstairs from me in Topanga Canyon. He would not talk about music or the old days. He was quite belligerent it. He just wanted to be left alone. Had to respect my hero's privacy.

I'm 57. How did I ever miss this back in the day?

Peter Green should take some time out of his busy day to show Carlos Santana "OK, here's how I really meant Black Magic Woman to go" now see if you can do that as good as me BITCH

[LukasFin]

OMG! This came from like outer space! Incrediable playing! Fleetwood Mac w PG on its bests!

chills

Thank you so much for posting such an amazing version of my very favourite song of all time, and the best line up of Fleetwood Mac ... just listen to the man (Peter Green) bearing his soul.

For those that don't know, this song is about a nightmare Peter had one night, Manalishi is a devil, and the green represents dollars (green backs) it was shortly after this song was created that Peter went off, tried to give all the bands money away ... and thus started the demise of the original line up.

Even if I didn't know who wrote this track I'd have to be totally mental and a dick as well to say that Judas Priest even comes close to this. I say again- A DICK!

[duski0069]

Well aren't I a dumbazz... I only knew the Judas Priest version and never knew they covered this from Mac...LOL pretty good original!

[danashane]

Epic Rock!  Melvins do an excellent, reverent cover - check it out

[longtimegone55]

@greenfruitface Agreed. End of the Game is an absolute (if little known) classic. Green was reaching into Timeless Time, past rock rhythms and changes, past Fleetwood Mac. It sounded wonderful when it was released (1970?) and it still does today.

[MrLetsdolunch]

this gives me serious chills

[armandin2048]

@seandeyoung01 but unfortunately not the best parts - such as choosing a pretentious, gay eunoch as frontman for example who was born a cunt, and will die one (soon we hope)

[loekie64]

One of the best live footages

[squashedtomato]

@TheRealWitchazel Nope they loved Greeny. Jimmy Page said they based Black Dog on Oh Well. Lindsey Buckingham of FM mark II is highly underated guitarist. See The Chain.

[finkployd58]

@seandeyoung01 no they didnt, they were around at the same time, their music has very little similarity
