Yeah I was kind of impressed by this , not that I didn't know Rod could belt out the blues or Ansley pounding away at the skins , but Peter Green really spoke to me as his licks and fills really delivered quite a knockout performance . I always thought of him as a lesser to the big 3 (Beck, Clapton, and Page ) ,but here he was cooking on Greenie !
All so very true , and I did know about the dosing incident and also a shame about Danny Kirwan as well and I have heard recordings of him tearing it up on the Goldtop Les Paul . The dynamic in Fleetwood Mac changed dramatically with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks .Quote

I understand what you’re saying- most fans would think of him as not quite up there with JP, Eric and Beck,I beg to differ.
Those three left the yardbirds/Mayall beginnings and went on to be in monster bands, Peter Greens monster band was Fleetwood Mac.
It’s an interesting story if anyone cares to look it up,Green and Danny Kirwan were both heavily dosed with LSD by a German cult and subsequently lost their minds.
With all due respect to Lyndsey and Stevie,on that night the world was deprived of a blues/rock tour de force.
Most fans know Greeny wrote Black Magic Woman and even though I’m not s big heavy metal fan, the Judas Priest version of Green Manalishi is damn good.
BB king once said Peter Greens tone gave him chills and the great Gary Moore played a lot of his career on a les Paul that Greeny sold him for next to nothing because he wanted him to have it.
He’s the only one of the great English guitar players I’ve never seen live.i hate that term “ bucket list” but dammit one of these days...

Len, I am afraid it's unlikely that Peter Green will be playing live again...or making music for that matter. For the last six years he has lived a very low key private life, fishing being one of his main pursuits!
I only saw him once. I saw him live at the Preston Guild Hall. Late 90s, I think.He didn't seem too well, his voice had certainly changed...much older in appearance too. I think it was The Splinter Band who backed him with Nigel Watson on guitar.
Very mixed feelings after. Glad to see that he was still around (just), but clearly a shadow of his former self. At least he hasn't gone down the late Danny Kirwan route (alcoholic/ homeless etc). He too was another great talent but seemed to have more personality issues than Brian Jones.
