[Music] Mick Fleetwood's tribute gig to Peter Green

[DavidinSouthampton]

I can still remember in about 1964/5 at the age of 11 hearing “Need your love so bad” on the radio when I was setting up my Scalextric. It blew me away. There are a handful of songs where I can remember where I was when I first heard them.

The origin Fleetwood Mac were great value in the 1960s!

I first saw Peter Green playing with John Mayall back in the '60s. That was in Brighton, Ricky Farr's Florida Rooms at what is now the Sealife Centre. He was young, tall , dark and good looking.
Fast forward to the early 2000's and a gig in the Midlands by PG'S Splinter Group. The man was now bloated and gross and looked not always quite "with it", but boy! He could still play a mean guitar.... he has a lovely touch. Albatross and Man of the World were the highlights for me.

I would have loved to go to the tribute gig, if it is filmed I hope it is put on t v ....Sky Arts perhaps?

I hear it will also be released on CD/DVD (or hopefully Blu-ray) for home enjoyment.

Looking forward to tonight's show...wonder how tight on the occasional, non-flash photo they will be?

It was superb...a great, varied mix of performers. Peter himself was lurking, quietly, in a box at the Palladium. There's already a few songs on YouTube and social media.

I was there last night, but for me, it just didn't live up to expectations (like a lot of things in life), but it was still an enjoyable evening.
Always good to see Gilmour, of course.

I would have liked to have been there, definitely, but I was wondering how on earth anyone could do any sort of justice to his playing, he was truly one of a kind.

Saw him with John Mayall about 20 years ago in Tunbridge Wells when he was somewhat fragile but occasionally he was at his brilliant best. His instrumental rendition of Man of the World was sublime.

Same! The Splinter Group.....loved it.

I threw him out of my pub in Richmond once, before I realised who he was.
I've been kicking myself ever since.

According to the review in today's Grauniad Jeremy Spencer joined in at the end. That must have been worth it alone.

Not just the finale, which featured everyone (I think) apart from Gilmour and Gallagher, Jeremy also performed The Sky Is Crying and I Can't Hold Out. Here's one of my pics (can't seem to embed at the moment - the option isn't there for me)
