As a guitar player I have been bewitched by Peter Green's playing for years. I sit down and listen to something that sounds, on the surface like any blues track from the era. When I start to take it apart I realise this man was a magician. I love Clapton, Hendrix, Beck, Page, Kossof and particularly Rory Gallagher, but nobody comes close to Peter Green. I listen to the originals, B.B. King, Freddie Kong, Albert Lee, Buddy Guy...but still Peter tops them all. He was born different. He is and always will be my muse.

I agree fully, as your statement is by no means to be taken lightly by throwing the guitar names out like you have. I discovered this recording just a few years ago, not sure how long this has been available, but I was blown away how mature he sounds here at such a young age here (20, 21, 22 years of age?) It's unreal how complicated he sounds, but yet simple?! Not quite sure how to describe it . . .

@@downatthecrossroads2209, the way to describe it is knowing how to work with the reverb better than anybody, knowing how to blend with others better than anybody, and willing to give something he wrote to someone else so he could play with the tune to come up with new things like the true composer. If you put Jimmi Hendrix with others he'd try to outshine as compared to improve the sound. If you think about it he was in a band that had Eric Clapton and when the band saw he was missing John Maynall said, "Don't worry about it we won't miss him. I found his replacement." After one jam session the whole band agreed that they would never miss Eric Clapton and indeed the albums with Peter Green are better blues music. Furthermore, he was in a band before Jimmy Page joined it once he was gone. It was no better with Jimmy Page in the sense Peter Green was better than him too. Nothing will never come close to Peter Green.

Peter Green exhibits a direct connection between his heart, head his fingers and a Higher Power. Peter Green succeeded by being willing to put his pain to music, his guitar spoke for him and he was a spiritual being in pain. Peter felt it necessary to leave room between notes so that each note could define his pain or the blues he felt. Peter was known for his tremendous tone, a gift that has not been duplicated by any other . Peter had no ego and could no understand the accolades bestoded on him leading to his distain for the business side of music. The Green God will forever be missed but not forgotten.

Well said and we may agree to disagree over some things, but basically yes, you're right. When I found blues as a kid I knew it was what I wanted to listen to. At first Chris Barbers jazz band with ''St Louis Blues'' This was the 50s and I played my fathers album over and over, listening to the pain in her voice. Then ''No one wants to know you when you're down and out''. She had the voice of an angel who'd fallen upon hard times. (Ottilie Patterson) Then finding Mayall and the early Stones was all good.

Never thought white boys could play the blues till I heard Peter. The only one who seemed to understand that the blues is not about speed or technique but feeling it in your heart.

You're taking Mayall's comment out of context. he said "AT FIRST he sounded like a Clapton copyist - which was understandable because he had to cover tunes that Clapton had established. But within weeks began to develop his own style with them as he became familiar with the songs" John ended up stating that Green was the ideal guitarist for his band (and easy to work with).

Green is really amazing here. Well said about pure raw feeling. I thing when it comes to that nobody else comes close to Peter. There are very good, playing fast or with skills and technique guitarists but that's not the point. Green's playing is so emotional, so in the blues, smooth and sensational at the same time. Every note a tear, every note with something to say, every note with so much soul in it. A lot of people can play very well,but playing like peter is a gift. In my opinion another one legend that can do the same with the feel,the touches with his simple playing that can give you shivers down the spine is Rory Gallagher.

One of the greats if not the greatest. Went with friends to see him with John Mayall at the Ricky Tick Club opposite the bus garage in Hounslow only to be told by a well pissed off John Mayall that Peter had left to join John and Mick. He then introduced his new find, Mike Taylor. He did his best but what acts to follow with Eric and Peter going before. He did improve with time to be fair but would never be in the same class as those two. Not long after this, my cousin Alex McNab took over there as the manager having been a DJ at the Ricky Tick in Windsor and at Pantiles in Bagshot. Those were the great days of the Best of British Blues Music.

If you were in doubt about who the best blues guitarist was, after you hear this, there will be none. I think SRV comes closest, not in style, but in passion, but PG is on the top step of Mt. Olympus by himself. Just amazing. Now I understand why there were so many apocryphal stories about this guy Peter Green that people had barely heard of. And this was way back in 1975, not that long after Peter essentially disappeared. So much credit should go to Mick Fleetwood, who kept this man's memory and musical legacy alive. It's obvious he made an indelible mark upon him that was never forgotten.

Tim Charles: Actually the two volumes released are both selections from a 5 CD set that features 5 separate gigs. The CDs were available by mail order from a guy in Holland. He came to London in '67 and spent a week following the band. He recorded the gigs on his portable Uher machine. He then spent about 5 years trying to do a deal with Mayall to release them. It finally happened and the two 'highlights' volumes were released. The big question is...........Why the fuck didn't Mayall do a box set of the 5 complete gigs?

There isn't a distorted guitar on the album! We were all stunned by Clapton's playing on The Beano album. Within weeks of it appearing, London was up to its bottom lip in blues guitarsts! Nobody is disputing its impact. What's being disputed here is that EC had no equals up until 1970! A preposterous statement! For many of us Green was the guvnor. Get over it! PS. 1965-70 eh?
