Wondering if Peter Green himself gets a cut of the box office sales for this concert and the forthcoming deluxe £150 box set being flogged by Mick Fleetwood?

Well, not quite as lost as the late Danny Kirwan and Greeny himself of course. His career has certainly been low key but he has continued to play live and put out a series of albums over the years. An underrated talent, in my view.
Obviously joining the Children of God all those years ago was not a sound career move.

Danny Kirwan is dead and I wouldn't have expected Spencer or Green to show up. The fact that Spencer did is fantastic.

Was it a fund raiser?

Green was unfortunately a casualty of mental illness and LSD, much like Floyd's Syd Barrett.
True, he definitely pulled out of the nosedive better, which is great.Quote

True, but Barrett never did anything after like 1972. At least Peter Green, eventually, started playing again and would occasionally do shows. I don't think he has in close to 20 years, but there's a great concert on Youtube of his from 2003 that shows he could absolutely still play:

And then he showed up for the Fleetwood Mac Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, but didn't play with Fleetwood Mac. He played with Santana that night though on Black Magic Woman:

" The tribute show was a benefit for Teenage Cancer Trust, which was organized by Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood"
“The concert is a celebration of those early blues days where we all began, and it’s important to recognize the profound impact Peter and the early Fleetwood Mac had on the world of music. Peter was my greatest mentor and it gives me such joy to pay tribute to his incredible talent. I am honoured to be sharing the stage with some of the many artists Peter has inspired over the years and who share my great respect for this remarkable musician.” – Mick
