Jumpin' at Shadows {live 1970} ~ Fleetwood Mac {Peter Green}

Fleetwood Mac's 1970 performance of Duster Bennett's 'Jumpin' at Shadows'

[@danielcolon2193]

The greatest the UK ever produced period. Clapton never brought tears to my eyes.

Never knew much about Peter green until my grandad showed me his music . It was like opening a treasure chest for me at 25 years old I can honestly say Peter greens worst song is better than any new songs out today . rip Pete 👍🏻

Of all the great blues guitarists, including BB King, Otis Rush, Albert King, et al., Mr. Green moves me the most. I owe him my eternal gratitude.

Rest in Peace Peter Green. You were an incredible talent and your music will live on forever. Thank you for sharing your genius with us. ♥️

With the blues ,you not only coerce the guitar to sing you make it cry and lament with an eruption of emotion which Peter did.

[@gordonballard8222]

Classic case of "Less is best. " Timing is outstanding . Peters vocal is insane. Wow. .

Right. And who knew they would be the ones to continue the name in to the 70's when it became a pop band. A good pop band but a far cry from Green, Kirwan, Spencer blues.

Listen to this at least once a day for the past 5 years, truly one of the greatest guitar perfomances ever in my opinion. Simply beautiful

[@iaincuthbertson3615]

Make a dumb man scream and shout. Had the pleasure of talking to Peter over an orange juice or two a few years back about Duster Bennett and what an amazing performer he was. Very little video seems to exist which is a shame. The drive on this guitar solo is out of this world and I think even BB King said Peter was the guitarist who could make the world stop turning. Lovely man, just got a little lost on the way but haven't a lot of us?

They say that playing the blues isn't difficult but to be good you have to feel it and by God doesn't he feel it and don't we feel it listening to him play it.

[@megadave1197]

Whoever told you that is talking nonsense! The blues is definitely not easy to play! The techniques required such as sustained bends, pull offs, vibrato, pre bend vibrato! Trust me the blues ain’t easy to play. Compare it with jazz or classical for instance. Non of those techniques are used. That’s just the left hand not to mention the right hand needs to learn how to alternate pick, use of fingers, thumb for percussion. Only once have you mastered that can you think about putting in feeling!!

I really admire Eric Clapton at times, but I think Peter Green surpassed him in playing with more passion, his tone and phrasing just incredible, impeccable vocals as well. If Peter had never gone down that LSD road who knows what else he would have done musically, I think the fame and, as the "Green Manalishi" (greed for money), just got to him, he really just wanted to play beautiful music...which he did!

[@richardlstern8241]

Peter Green was the best even including SRV, Gary Moore and all. What a shame those guys didn't take care of themselves and lay off the drugs.

[@robgriffin755]

The original Fleetwood Mac were awesome!

[@NicolletIslandSlim]

Peter Green was simply the greatest white blues singer/guitarist who ever lived. Anyone would kill to have his vocal ability, and they'd do the same to possess his guitar skills. He could do both. No one else has come close.

I remember Anthony “Duster” Bennett ! He was friends with John Mayall and at one of Mayall’s shows, he gave Duster the stage and he did a one man band thing . He was really great. So sad that he died so young in a car crash . .

[@dennisdevine3382]

Nobody played the slow blues like Peter Green. I was there at Filmore West to witness this show.

[@ruscoelee]

I saw Peter Green on his last tour of the UK. On the last song of the night, he played the guitar, the only way Peter Green can play, which was brilliantly. I could just imagine the impact he must have had when he replaced Clapton. He knocked me for six, as we say in the UK, he was on fire!

[@vmat1000]

Great!!! I saw some memorable shows in SF but missed Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. A good friend saw them at Winterland. He wished i could have been there, though i was i was only 13 at the time. Did finally make to FE, 07 Tom Petty. Great show, too.

[@vmat1000]

Ooops. make that '97 for Tom Petty ;)

[@fauxbro]

Well, not this particular show (it was recorded in Boston at the Tea Party) but yeah, I was there too, Fillmore West, Jan. 1969, right up front. Riveting; absolutely the best. I was high as a kite on mushrooms that evening

I love this track. First tune I wanted to hear after hearing Peter sadly passed away last night. Yes, I shed a tear especially during the solo. Tasteful playing like no other. Rest In Peace, Peter Green.

[@lambrex54]

This is an awesome track. Always serves to remind me how fragile genius can be. The talent that was in this early Mac is incredible.

[@lesshrubb203]

Back in 1969, I think it was, we had just finished 'Band Practise', when our Manager brought in a record of Fleetwood Mac's 'Need your love so bad'. We listened and were blown away by Peter's Guitar playing. All these years later, still blown away... I can play it note for note, but I'm not Peter...

[@robertzemko6590]

Even the incredible Gary Moore did a wonderful version of this track but it just wasn't the same, the combination of this 1970 analogue sound at the Fillmore and the soulful playing not to mention the incredible vocals are unparalleled. Even the mighty Clapton circa 1968 could not have done better.

[@BraveheartOBM]

@@robertzemko6590 trouble is people try and add too many extra notes then lose the feel and soul of the song ... cheers

[@slownoman]

Having lived in the SF bay area during the amazing 66-68 period, when some of the greatest music ever made was there, one of my favorite moments was seeing the true Fleetwood Mac for the first time. I knew Green's work with Mayall, as I did Clapton's before him, and he was every bit Eric's equal at that time. Blues knows no color, but Green is one of the hues that makes it up. Just heartbreaking guitar playing, and I say that as a guitarist for the past 43 years.

Peter Green had a direct connection between his heart, head his fingers and a Higher Power. You can feel Peter's pain in this Duster Bennett song which was most likely written with Peter's help.

Well SWM I'd like to say firstly "thank you" I will enjoy this and some of your other contributions many times. As to which performer is the better or best, surely it is all a matter of personal taste. My taste is neither better nor worse than that of anyone else, just different. In the 60s the letters page of MM was full of arguement on the relative greatness of - Clapton, Hendrix, Green, Lee etc. It was pointless then as it is is today.

@@keithwanless206 no the acid did not, Schizophrenia did and Peter was born with the predisposition, the acid is disorienting and people with Schizophrenia are already disoriented. The disease is largely genetic but most people don't show symptoms until their mid Twenties.
