Are you a Fleetwood Mac fan?

Saw Peter Green play at the Komedia in Brighton in 2010. He looked a bit of a wreck physically - very bloated and frail looking - but he could still play, and knocked out many of the classics from the Albatross, Man of the World, Green Manalishi era as well as some of the earlier straight blues stuff from his days with John Mayall.
Such a shame he went off the rails so young, as he really was one of the greatest.

I've read a little on Peter Green and from what I can gather, of all the British musicians inspired by the Blues to pick up a guitar and play, he was considered the very best of his era. Would it be fair to say that? He paid one hell of a price for fame though. Mick Fleetwood got out pretty much unscathed except for a wobbly end to the 80s with some dodgy acting in the Running Man and playing straight man to Sam Fox.

He was definitely up there and an equal to Clapton (is God) for most music fans back then. Fame and LSD did for him. There is a very good documentary about him which I watched on a BA flight years ago.

Here is a snippet

Cheers for that. I'll have a look later. I was reading a Joe Bonamassa article where he named the top 5: Clapton, Kosssoff, Page, Beck and Green, with Green being the most under-rated in his opinion and the best songwriter out of all of those 5.

Unbelievably all of them bar Kossoff came through John Mayall's Blues breakers as did Mick Taylor. John Mayall certainly had the knack of finding brilliant guitarists

Peter Green is my favorite guitarist. And I have seen a LOT of guitarists

This. Brilliant Album.

Saw a documentary on them some time ago, amazing that they stuck together with all the conflict and inter-personal relationship cr@p that was going on with them for years.

Same here but I'm buggered if I can remember what it was called, been looking for it for ages!!!
