Saw him in one of his first gigs with John Mayall- small local hall in Harpenden. Hadn’t a clue about music so didn’t know what to expect. Once he started playing I couldn’t take my eyes off him all night. I have never him and the first time I ever heard that name-Peter Green. Beautiful soul R.I.P.

' Lived in squalor in a tiny house in Richmond ' - near Pete Townshend presumably. But the Who guitarist wouldn't have taken in nor played with PG -too much ego to lose to a much greater and humbler talent.

@brandycat8513 Do you think? I noticed on the Hard Road Back video I put on here that Eric Clapton came to see Peter, but he had that shit entourage of people all around him. I'm convinced they yes looked after Peter Green, but they managed his money.

@brandycat8513 My old landlord was a very intelligent man ex teacher, but he lost his way and ended up in asylums and could never fully grasp real life again. Some of the things PG says remind me of him he'd speak in riddles and never quite be serious. ECT is frightening.

I seen Fleetwood Mac on Morecambe Pier England in 1967... It was a rather large Ballroom and there were about 50 people there, at most, I sat in the Balcony, aged 18, and watched and listened in awe of the sound that came from those guys, Peter had his back to the ''audience'' most of the time and I clapped and clapped when a song ended, and once the show was over Peter pointed up to me and said thanks as this was just a rehearsal as we are new Band and it was only a few years later I noticed they were the same Band I seen in 67...Those days had so many great Bands but the original Fleetwood Mac stood out as special indeed... R.I.P. to one THE greats of London.

I was friendly wiv Peter back in early 80s. Beautiful Bem introduced me. We chilled in his Richmond cottage. I was bout 19_20 and he was slowly coming out of his drug infused psychosis. Via some dodgy cult that whisked him away in bout 1970 previously. I was a muscian ,and played harp n wrote but not at all focused . Didnt kno his back story n how prolific he was. He was a grt harp player.He was somewhat ehtheral at time. Said little wiv humour . But puntuated wen he did spk like his guitar playin. 🎸 He somewhat at time looked like Dennis Rousos.Wiv the lbig long flowin smock!!! People occasionaly wud pop by. Peter said he wanted his royalties that had been ripped off him. RIP 🙏 Peter 👍

Probably with Mick Taylor the best British guitarists of the 1960's. Just listen to Fleetwood Mac at the Boston Tea Party 1968. You'll find out that Danny Kirwan was pretty darn good also.

@8:47 remember this lads....BB King once said "Peter Green was the only guitar player that made me sweat." And if you don't believe him, search " Got a mind to give up living", live in Stockholm 1970. And grab yourself a towel and some tissue because you're gonna cry and sweat. That live performance is (for me) as good as it has ever been played.

I was fortunate enough to see The Splinter Group with Peter here in the Detroit, MI area. He wasn’t the old Peter but there were flashes of brilliance on that Strat. In the old days he played that wonderful Paul. Just a mild mannered fellow. I loved the show although Nigel played a lot.

Drugs are deadly. I've lost so many friends and people I knew. If the drugs don't kill you first, they will age you well before your time. Had a friend and she was admited to mental hospital and sectioned after her first trip on acid. She's still mentally ill now, 40 years later. What this video doesn't show is the hell, people with mental illness go through. Let Peter Green and Brian Wilson etc be a warning to anyone being tempted by drugs. Don"t do it!

While some of the sparkle has gone and I hope I'm not rude in saying this but his voice has the authentic quality of an aged colored blues musician, and his lead playing is remarkably similar to BB King, I think that's a wonderful thing for Peter to have tapped into again. I was only 12 when I found a copy of then play on at some Iranian ladies second hand shop for 25 cents, this definitely was not the Fleetwood Mac that your mom through on the turntable to clean the house too, but the band that outsold the Beatles and rolling stones combined!!!

It's a shame what happened to Peter, for a brief period in time his music could bring out so many emotions in you through his playing and singing an I think he was the greatest English guitar player ever also if bb king says it then it must be true, I'm glad that he came back an I was lucky enough to see him in concert, very sad when he passed away at least now he has eternal peace , thank you for Fleetwood mac the songs guitar playing an the most perfect voice rip peter green legend

@paulmcloughlin9913 Good read that thanks. I'm thinking of joining up various pieces of footage and combining two documentaries I have here, but because they are deep, I have some great Fleetwood Mac stuff in 1969 and 1970 and some of his solo stuff before he literally disappeared. I do wonder what he did between 72 and 1980. The 80s must have been terrible for him. And what he thought of Fleetwood Mac with Buckingham, etc even alive I guess he wouldn't be able to get the words out as he did speak in genius type riddles like he'd seen everyone as not as life experienced as him possibly. The man was ahead of his time in so many ways. On top of that, blowing BB King away is some achievement. He's the best guitarist in history I think. He must be.

@Greenyandeverygenre that would be good to see if you could do it, Fleetwood mac after peter was a totally different band, I'd say in the 80s he probably didn't even know what day of the week it was, I think what sometimes goes unnoticed is the great songs he did with john mayall an also Fleetwood mac did a great album with otis spann in 1968 I think..

Ive a compilation album or 2 by him but I mainly know him via Gary Moore. Who is obviously also dead,sigh. But so good. lol THAT's uncanny, 11:11 as I just typed that, he said Gary Moore. And the music after that is Nirvana as he walks into the club. I'll jusat mention that also, back in thos days you couldn't move for Nirvana Apparently now Kirk Hammet paid huge amounts for Peters old les paul, funny old world :) [Obviously KH was never in nirvana, !]
