Must be Long Beach. I was there that day with the Yardbirds. We too were on the bill. Micks playing always stood out and his slide playing that day was incredible and I told him so. Keith Emerson was in a very joyful mood I remember. Great days! Sorry that so many are no longer with us. Play on!

Absolutely it was about tone with Peter. Like you I would always say he let his guitar say more with less. Just a true master at his craft. The big guy with the beard playing the strat must be Nigel Watson who can hold his own and really unknown to so many fans. Peter's best work, Splinter Group but he was amazing live with Mac.

@@kennethrepp6928I saw Peter Green with Fleetwood Mac in 1970 in Dublin, he was so self,-assured and confident. Saw him again some years later it was so sad. He had growm fat, and lost his confidence completely, he looked like he was hiding behind the mike stand.

I believe that the only authentic, personal, original solo was of Peter Green in this jam, with Mic Taylor following. I had years to listen to such a beautiful short melodic cadenza!?! Far ahead from the rest, especially in conveying feelings in such personal way touching the audience. The rest, with Taylor's exception were following the usual path of flattering the audience with technique. Emmerson was also good.

@georgemineos 8 күн бұрын

@@danganbeg7225 The fatal visit to Munich with Fleetwood Mac, where he was drawn, along with Danny Kirwan, in a basement from fans to test and taste any kind of drugs, "transformed" them, according the other members of Mac, to shadows of themselves. It was then that Green sold all his equipments and guitars and, initially went to an asylum for recovery. Since then he was never the same. However, he never lost his musicality, his abilities and talent, and produced some beautiful records with Splinter Group. It's funny how he looks at Ronny Earl, when the last started his firestrocks in the guitar; a smile of understanding and irony. He was a real musician. R.I.P. Peter.

Ronne Earl is one of the only true Blues stylists left alive today and still playing beautiful soulful Blues. Peter Green although subdued has a legacy that is unique for British Blues and he was the greatest Blues player to come out of Britain. Not sure what Emerson is doing there but OK. Mick Taylor is another example of true Blues players from Britain. A great player that knows the power of phrasing and less is more. Taylor, Green and Earl belong together! And a huge thanks to Mayall who's ability to choose the best of the best and let them go when they needed to move on. Thanks for putting this up.

@mjuza7114 Ай бұрын

What would be wrong with Emerson playing here?! This is just excellent musicians jamming together.....like he wouldn't know to play blues? all of them here started playing blues and he just killed Hammond solo here

@jamesjameson4303 Ай бұрын

@@mjuza7114 You are entitled to your opinion and I to mine. Since when is Emerson a Blues player per se? That is all I was implying. Anyone is allowed to play whatever they want but the Blues is a simple but deep style and unless like Earl or Green or Mayall you have devoted your life to it or at least a big part then I can hear the lack of depth. Now you may think that was a great solo but compared to what? Good for you if you liked it but I don't have to see the world in other people's eyes. I am not offended by you liking Emerson on this why are you offended by my not being crazy about it? Do you even know who Ronnie Earl is? Have you hear his vast repertoire? Go listen to him and the B3 players he plays then you might have a hint of how I judge. I would not expect Ronnie Earl to play in ELP. But its all good, and I never said he played badly just wondering what a progressive rock player is doing there. No worries.

Ronnie Earl is incomparable when he was at his peak. His timing, phrasing and soulful bends are unmatched from contemporary players. He still plays and still sounds great! Nothing like seeing Blues Bands live. True Blues bands are disappearing again as the craze of Blues festivals started by the SRV rise to popularity fades. To catch a truly great Blues band today is rare. For the ones like me that have seen many of the 60's and 70's Blues from Chicago and Memphis and Texas etc.. it is really hard to like whats happening now. Without true mentors alive it must be very hard for the young players to play for real. You can learn the notes and the moves but it don't mean a thing if you don't have the thing that makes Blues great.
