Peter Green & Friends - Oh Well and Albatross (Cornbury Festival 2009)

Crowd-pleasing finale to the Peter Green & Friends set at Cornbury Festival on Sat 11th July 2009, watched by a large, appreciative audience. Good to see Peter (right of stage) playing with some genuine friends offering real encouragement and let's hope his recent touring is one step along the road to Greeny getting back to performing regularly again. Apologies for the low-res, hand-held compact camera footage and audio (along with some wind noise and the odd bad join), but even here you can see and hear the spark of genius from the great man and get some sense of the occasion. Still get goose-pimples whenever I watch it.

@troopsky Peter has no control of his own resources, is dependent on legal parasites to give him money. Peter loves photography. Once at the Wharf he ran out of film. I said, "You're a millionaire," and, pointing to a store, "go buy some film." His answer is revealing: "Yeah, they says I got all this money, but they won't give me a tuppence." If you knew by one inch how many psychiatric druges they feed the guy, you'd be proud just to see him standing up ... alive. Peter deserves better.

thank you for posting this video... this was one of the first bands i ever listened to by choice (age 9, when a lady gave me all her runaway teen daughter's lps, tyvm) so i got a place in my heart for old FM and Peter Green

@GreenyMcFleetwood i remember someone telling me he was an alcoholic around hte covent garden area

I saw Peter perform close up two days ago at then Byron Bay Blues Fest (Australia)and so many things went through my head.

Peter was one of the reasons I went ..... I was front row for Buddy Guy, Jools Holland.

I wasn't aware that Peter was that far out of it and he was obviously being well looked after by the band. I'd already u tubed him a lot, and knew that his playing is slow and quite a few mistakes.

Peter has given me so much pleasure in my life. I'm proud to have seen him play.
