Noel Gallagher & Peter Green on "Oh Well" (Fleetwood Mac)

[@carlwoodard7276]

I saw an interview with Beck and Page, both said Green was best british blues guitarist ever. When asked about Clapton, they replied " he made alot of money".

[@bobsteinzig]

now 70 grew up in Boston. The Tea Party was my weekly go to. My high school band was J. Geils. The only band that could follow them was Mac. One sunday at the Cambridge commons the Harvard band and a guy walked up, plugged in and did 45 min. of Black Magic Women. This was when Peter was living with Zappa recorded "End of the Game" soon after.

Peter Green will never be forgotten nor equalled. His touch and feel for his music can never be outdone.

[@kevingill648]

Peter green was a musical genius! not only that, he is the greatest blues guitarist of his time IMO. I first heard his music in the late 60s and I still listen to it today 55 years later. RIP

[@dannyodwyer8642]

The man was a genius pure and simply 👍

[@MrCherryJuice]

Noel Gallagher is raving about the guitar playing on 'Oh, Well'. Yes, some absolutely ripping lead playing on that. But it isn't Green, it's young Danny Kirwan (even visible in the video). Green was generous to a fault - named his band after his rhythm section, was desperate to give away the bags of money he was making from record sales, brought young Kirwan in and gave him free rein in the writing stakes....and even let him do the lead playing on key tunes like 'Oh, Well'. This is not to detract from Green, just to point out that Danny Kirwan, who left this world not too long ago, was a killer talent who despite his massive contribution of tunes and playing to the band, has been overlooked in the eagerness by media and fans to focus on the stuff more suited for the tabloids.

[@MrPhilfridge]

Just like to point out , that Peter is playing a harmony lead to Danny, classic twin lead . Danny was a great player, no doubt but Peter's input to the guitar work on 'Oh well' was a 50/50 thing.

[@guntervolz4509]

Saw Peter Green and his Fleetwood Mac live on stage, Marquee Club London, august 1967. Although the room was crowded it was a very intimite concert, an inspiring live experience. In my opinion Peter Green is one of the most gifted blues guitarists of all times. And he wrote and played huge hits like Oh Well, Albatros, Black Magic Woman (covered by Santana), Man of the world ...

[@davedewsnap288]

I’m just going to say it, imo, Eric was first…a pioneer….but Peter’s tone and technique was far superior to Eric. I’ve listened to both, and it just was

[@johnkitching6293]

Thank you Peter and the original Fleetwood Mac’ for the music

[@chrisehrlich3514]

With all due respect to the revolving door of musicians,who played with Mick and John,Peter Green's Mac,for many of us,was the only, Fleetwood Mac. Greenie sits in my top 3 sixties players...he just had it.... tone, structure,spacing,and timeless riffs. One of the best live bands ever. I have amassed every recording I can.....eventually you find the gems,such as a version of Rattlesnake Shake,where Danny Kirwan playing a Les,turns up the crunch,on the bridge....game changer. Peter, thanks for your gifts. I think BB King said it correctly.,.....

[@geraldmiranda5]

Green was the best

[@chrisehrlich3514]

Yes....Greenie,was the best,and the best British interpreter of the blues 💙

[@markashdown1314]

Saw Peter many times, always a genius.

Just a Wonderful track, By a fabulous musician ..Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac !! The Original and the best (IMO) .... I miss his music today

[@stuartmoore6310]

There was also a middle version of Fleetwood Mac ('70-'74) sandwiched between the Peter Green and the Buckingham/Nicks eras. They really were three distinct bands in those different eras. Great albums from the "2nd Mac": Future Games, Bare Trees, Mystery To Me, Penguin

[@gordonschafer8357]

Don't forget Kiln House...

[@waltraud734]

Yes you said it , like liquid gold came out of Peter and we still love him 🌹 mostly in 69/70 what a special musican and man he was and we still sad and in rage on all people who helped to distroy him ,he never was same PG after all that terrible treatments he had to go through , only a shadow himself 🖤 , just to cry and we don't forget and we don't forgive , there are other ways to overcome the problems he had 💚💚💚

[@morristonian]

Just came upon this for the first time and to see Peter smiling and happy revisiting his stuff just give me such a moment of joy. What a wonderful gift he gave me in my youth. Thank you for sharing this video, you made my day.

[@heatherwalker3088]

Love the fact that the master said part 2. Every time for me Phenomenal and perfect

[@Staylogical]

Love Peter,but don't forget Danny on this one or Coming Your Way or all of And Then Play On.Or Jeremy.Or Christine.She's on there,too.

[@aluminumshapingobsession2814]

A roommate turned me on to early FM. I instantly back collected their stuff. He honestly “gave” them their enduring style…

[@johnmadden2421]

It is possible to admire Fleetwood Mac in all it's incarnations. I first heard them via Albatross, so inspired I did a painting which my Mum hung on her wall until she die. I heard Christine McVie (Perfect then) before I heard Mac, via I'd Rather Go Blind with Chicken Shack. The ultimate Mac with Nicks and Buckingham were massive, justifiably so. My most memorable hearing of that version was when I was working on a house in a seaside suburb, on a perfect day, in Auckland, New Zealand and in the house next door a bunch of youngsters were in the pool to the accompaniment of looping Fleetwood Mac.

[@caratacusw7545]

What a good day today has been! Found this wonderful clip and have been in a reverie ever since. It's like listening to Segovia for the first time - but much more moving. Thank you so much for posting.

[@michaelmccullagh2241]

I had the same experience when I heard oh well as Noel didn

Can we just appreciate how epic Noel Gallagher's hair is here? 🔥

[@ronaldrodriguez786]

The real Fleetwood Mac

[@petejones879]

Fleetwood Mac has never been as good as they were with Peter Green.. Most folk today think of the Stevie Nicks Fmac like the rumours album etc... Some of thst is OK but it's mostly too poppy and commercial for my liking... The original sound with Peter was far better.. When they were a stonking rock blues band

[@Zerocool215]

True

[@Mike-fi5se]

By far, much better. The tribal beats, guitars screaming for mercy, the whole vibe of a collective mix of rock and blues. Latter Fleetwood Mac was to syrupy and trite, in my opinion. Still played on my pirate radio station, along with Black Magic Woman and other songs. You won't hear this and lots of great tracks anywhere else on US radio. F the FCC!

[@bluedeskfan2754]

Took me years to actually be able to listen to Rumours and appreciate it for what it is, but still find the PG era stuff way more appealing.

[@boweryhester]

everything about PG i agree 1000%, but that brittle edgy guitar that drives oh well is Danny Kirwan's

[@mattbluesmain1359]

was it some german cats that spiked him with some drug..they should be serving life ...still went on at castle records saw splinter group..everyone loves and misses you PETER

[@gregj.gotham4402]

Yeah those people kept spiking peters drinks with LSD-25 very potent. Peter wasn’t aware and the weekend fried him. I’m still so friggen mad at those people. It just hurt so much to see Peter not even aware of the whole situation. I’m so glad that Peter, Mick and the band did one stage show three days before Peter passed. ❤ R.I.P. Greenie

[@peterrobin1881]

@@gregj.gotham4402 When did Peter and Mick and the band do one final stage show? I didn't know anything about that???

[@rickyellison9103]

I equate Danny Kirwan and Barry. Bosley. They kinda got lost . great times those.

[@1blastman]

I'm curious, did Peter write Oh Well Pt 1 & 2 before he wrote Albatross or after? There's a sonic, textural connection between the two songs, and I was trying to figure out what it is.

[@philiphodkinson9159]

Fleetwood Mac to me was the Peter Green version. I love some of the stuff by the ‘classic lineup’ of Fleetwood Mac; I just wish they’d considered themselves a completely different band and given themselves a new name.

Mediocre pop drummer was one description I read. However, he was good enough for PG, so he's good enough for me

[@averyadrian1534]

He was referring to much later down the road - like closer to just before he died -

[@Jahnink]

I don't believe the hyped Munich story. Mick pushed the money thing too much.

[@tomasvanecek8626]

I just cant think about anyone so forgettable to me as him - maybe only Gallagher. How come - when I was raised on Cream, Led Zep, Atomic Rooster, King Crimson and Jeff Beck - all that it late 60s/early 70s - and I dont miss anything ? The only one Green album I bought, forced by someone, is boring to death.

[@armandoromero7984]

the only thing you don't miss are brain cells look at your shit list of stuff you were listening to that's why you think his music was boring You're a freak with no class

Peter Green solo albums happened after his breakdown. His best work was with Mayall and the early Mac. The more recently released two volume 'Live in 1967', which is drawn from what were originally bootleg tapes that have been cleaned up by Mayall, is very good. But yes, if you got a Peter Green album then you lost out.

@@vincepernicano8456 It is.. absolutely unispiring and boring to no end.. no ideas, just meandering... IDK, maybe he was stoned to death, or just had to produce anything that would sell no matter what ? (btw, Vince - it spells "douche.." ;) .. poor education I guess.. )
