I like Fleetwood Mac with Green better than Mayall with Green, because of Mayall's voice.
There are lots of Fleetwood Mac Live Discs availiable at amazon :
Live at the Marquee (1967)
London Live '68
Shrine 69 (1969)
Live At the Boston Tea Party, Parts 1 - 3 (1970)
etc etc
Some have bad sound, but Peter Green is just awesome. Worth checking out.

Big shout for Danny Kirwan too - when he joined the group it gave PG the support to move away from 12 bars. As a guitar duo they are up there with The Allman Brothers at the very least.
amen to that (and I Love Duane and Dickey dearly)

I think there are around 80 ish (?) concerts/radio show appearances in circulation. Absolutely anything from mid 69 to may 1970 is guaranteed brilliant.
I am a big Peter Green fan - he was the best with the possible exception of Jimi. He was also a truly fine singer and songwriter. When the band started dropping the blues mimic stuff and began stretching out (sidelining 3rd guitarist Jeremy Spencer in the process) they were pretty much out there on their own. If they had completed that 4th album before Green left it would have been a stunner.
That 3cd Boston Set (at it's best) is incredible. I believe the intention was for the highlights to make up that 4th album.
I mentioned in an earlier thread that there is a book due out later this year which will detail all surviving tapes of Green from his early sessions with Peter B's Looners to his last guest appearance with Fleetwood Mac. I'll plug it when it's out coz the sections i've read were really interesting.
