- This is a clip from a concert shown on German TV in 1998.
Even after all he has gone through, Peter Green still has magic in his fingers.
The piece was written by Peter and first recorded while with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in the sixties. The original recording of this groundbreaking instrumental can be found on the album "A Hard Road".
If you're new to Peter Green, and you like what you hear on this track, I suggest you listen to all of his work with the band Fleetwood Mac, which he founded in 1967 and stayed with until 1970. During this period they played some of the best British blues and blues rock ever recorded.
But Peter Green is not only a unique guitarist and an accomplished songwriter (with songs such as "Black Magic Woman" to his credit), in those days he was also an outstanding vocalist - just listen to tracks like "Stop Messin' Round" or, in an entirely different vein, "Man Of The World".
That he's not sitting alone in a home filled to the brim with anti-psychotics is enough for me. His playing here, while restrained compared to the Peter of old, is still haunting and soulful. The man's contribution to British Blues and the guitar are enormous. His story is moving, cautionary but ultimately inspirational. Love you Peter!!!!
Oh man, what a beautiful comment.

Absolutely! That single paragraph was a beautiful 'riff' in itself. Wish I could express my thoughts so succinctly. Kudos to SCundo.
Restrained? Some loser, like you, always has to find something to moan about.
@@CooManTunes don''t think he was moaning, just stating his opinion, whilst still being positive about what peters doing here.
Restrained as in that he is working within the piece and not for rock n roll purposes, committing to all the feedback and giving an adrenaline fueled bursting performance is a different era for him. Restrained as in this is a creative piece not a spontaneous bit of blues myth. Just the mind and soul of Peter Green, encompassing more of a great contemporary piece and his band then styling in a more jazz like regard. I liked your comment very much
Schizophrenia is an awful burden to carry and I speak from experience, I've been on anti psychotic meds since I was 22 years old and I'm now 56.
Isolation is a reality but I'm glad Peter found his skill again and knew that people still loved him and cared that he was all right.
As a musician he was peerless, and as a human being he was blessed.
God rest him in Heaven.
A lot of people talk shit here and I can bet that they can't play fucking "smoke on the water" . This man went through hell and back .Far away from his prime times but his guitar playing it's still beautiful . Takes courage and whole a lot of it to take the guitar again and to play whilst carrying all that shit decades ago .We should be thankful that he's alive , recovering and playing from time to time.
Wel said Ryuobbi
I "KNOW" how I feel when I hear art and the chills,smiles and joyous tears I've experienced listening to Peter Green playing straight from the heart and soul of a person blessed by the creator. Thru the years the "blues musicians " (please forgive my political fuck up)were mostly black. Peter could and seemingly effortlessly hold his own and more....... PG has the soul and funk EC don't and won't have !! God Bless Peter Green and us all, Peace
Well said, Ryoubbi. I won't look for negativity but have played Smoke in a band setting, studio version. Hell, even got paid.
@@johnmccombs224 amen!!
@John Rampino lol
R.I.P Mr. Peter Green. One of the greatest guitarists ever. You will be dearly missed.
There is no one else in the World quite like Peter Green. God's gift to all of us who hear him sing and play. God Bless Peter Green
His lead work on "I Was Looking Back To See If She Was Looking Back To See If I Was looking Back At Her" is just incredible.
if you can get 30% near to his touch and technique you will be a fucking great guitar player
Amen. He is such a unselfish bad ass !
RIP Peter Green, thanks so much for coming back to see us all before you left....⛵ ❤️
B.B, King's favorite guitarist. BB King said "He has the sweetest tone I have ever heard. He was the only one who gave me the cold sweats"
You seem to be right. I heard that Clapton said his blues playing is very special!
I don't think BB said that Green was his favorite guitar but he did say he made him sweat. He may have been one of his favorite but I would say, having researched BB and having talked with him his favorite players were T Bone, Lonnie Johnson, and Django Reinhardt. He was also a big fan of slide guitarist and Chicago headhunter Earl Hooker as well as Jazzers Herb Ellis, Wes Montgomery and George Benson.
@@kevindean1327 I think OP meant *one* of BBK's favorite guitarists.
like I said before, NOBODY does it like Peter Green, absolutely nobody...
Check out Larry Corsa playing The Supernatural on a Corsa model Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded. He has the feel and the tone and more importantly the long sustain notes via a Klon.
not even Gary Moore, on Peter's guitar,,,,,,but,,,Gary Moore does smoke that fukker
Arguably the greatest EVER to play the blues
I still remember the time I first heard this song. Seventeen years old, 1967 late at night, lying in my bed with the lights out having a final cigarette with the radio tuned into KPCC FM Pasadena, which was one of the original underground stations in Los Angeles.
A seminal moment and I became a Peter Green devotee right then and there. Saw him 3 times with the Mac.........
I remember KPCC FM ,,,Yeah buddy!!!! I was fortunate enough to see Peter and the Mac at a Pinnacle Productions concert with The Who at the Shrine Auditorium around 1968, they were spectacular,,, Pete was making fun of Pete Townsend whipping his picking arm around and around like a windmill!!! lol. I also saw and met them at The Whiskey a year later. Peter was dressed in robes like Jesus and had his arms around 2 of the most beautiful brunettes I have ever seen,,,,
@@daviddoyle4516 I was at the Shrine show with the Who as well. They played back to back weekends there on the first tour, opening for Chuck Berry on the other. Then saw them in Jan '69 at the Fillmore West. At that one, they came out for their 2nd set having obviously thrown down several pints. They were all laughing milling about until Peter put his guitar down, went back and shooed Mick off the drum stool and they started into Kirwan's Jigsaw Puzzle Blues while Fleetwood went to the front of the stage and did a strip tease down to a pair of black bunhuggers. I was right down in front and on this night, tripping on mushrooms. I wouldn't of believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. Absolutely surreal. They finished out the set with Jeremy coming on and doing the Earl Vince and the Valiants Rock 'n Roll Revival....listening to KPCC and KMET in those days and attending shows at the Shrine was a R 'n R education........cheers!
@@daviddoyle4516 oh yes the Whiskey..Mario Proprietor ! I've been there many times also...im from the valley but frequented Hollywood starting at 15' I remember going to a little club off of the blvd on Harper called bido lido. Just served coffee,tee and sodas. Swa the Doors, Love w/Arthur Lee, Byrds, Seeds,can't seem to make you mine. And others...those were great teen years. Came out of service and went to work for a record dist. Loading top 40 singles for record rack..you know thrifty drugs, Save on stores. Then went to record dist. Warner, repris, atlantic,Atco, polydor and all European imports. Found album black sabbath by black sabbath listened to title W/ thunder,lightning,rain.."what is this that stands before me" gave album to KMET got air time. When Sabbath made their first appearance at the Whiskey. MARIO set me and 7 friends up with a booth,went upstairs interduced to band, shared some taste and became friends etc etc. I did the staging and lighting on their first US tour in Feb 74' east coast.. carried on later at studio, party's and such. I assisted in the design of the cable runners on rail cars for Cal- Jam one and was group agent for Sabbath and Deep Purple..enough if me...been around ! ! Promoted concerts in Tucson Ariz. Purple Mac W/ bob welch, rory Gallagher, Joe Walsh, faces w/rod s and Ron wood, Robin Trower etc. I'm 73' now and I must admit, the first half was amazing ! ! I've got tons of stories but Ballex...later ! ask Oz he'll tell you how crazy we were then ? and now ? LOL
So the Shrine Expo show I attended had opening act The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, then Peter Green and the Mac, with closing set by The Who (with Keith Moon). Anyone see this particular show?
@@MartyHalpern Yes indeed
The Mac stole the show. The Who did their best but around 2am the crowd started to exit
The house lights came on and the Who were still trying their best but they had lost the congregation. One of the MAC'S shrine Expo shows had a great poster. Eschesque.
I lost it 50 years ago.
Such a shame he had to go through such an ordeal. He really is a true guitar gem, he's one of the forgotten heroes and personally one of my favorites.
Great music. Peter Green. I feel sorry for people who don't know him. So much good music. Wow.
RIP Peter. The tears just keep coming
Rest in Peace Peter Green who on July 25, 2020 has crossed over to the realm of the Supernatural where he will be welcomed by GOD for the beautiful music and guitar playing he has given us.
God will be practising bass guitar for the first gig!
Ughh... he's dead. Accept it.
@@CooManTuneshis music will live forever
@@megadave1197 I agree, but that's not what the op suggested.
@@CooManTunes Pretty harsh thing to say & dumb as the shit you have on your channel . Mozart & Beethoven have been dead over 200 years yet they still are remembered & revered as timeless music masters . Typical comment from one that does not play music & has no clue . That crap on your channel sucks so get over it or remove it , Ugghh that crap is dead , accept it & get over it .
Undying admire for great Peter Green.
R.I.P. my brother.It was a Hard Road.It was the Supernatural that we will always remember.
*R I P Peter Green - October 29, 1946 - July 25, 2020*
Farewell to the master.....rest easy dear Peter ...not sure we are ever see the likes of your talent again.
I saw him three or four times when he 'came back' and I don't remember him being this animated. That other bloke used to play Pete's part while Pete just 'tickled' the strings and came in when he felt like it. This is the best I've ever seen the older PG play. Thanks for posting.
It's enough that Peter was able to finally able to find the personal courage to start to play again after drugs almost destroyed his mind.Those who truly love the Peter that WAS feel thankful for the Peter that still IS regardless of how much of his musical brilliance still remains to shine through the haze.The audience here are supporting the man out of love and respect.
Drugs did destroy his mind. This isn't him playing, it's what replaced him. #theressomeoneinmyheadbutitsnotme
Scott Matheson well, drugs and schizophrenia. It’s still nice hearing him play, even though it’s not as lively as it used to be, he still sounds better than 90% of wannabe guitarists. Got to give him that.
i was lucky enough to see the Great Man live at a small venue many years ago.......awesome evening...fantastic present from my loverly wife.
I saw a documentary on him forming the splinter group and hearing what he went through broke my heart peter seems like an honest man who has a really good heart. Im hlad he got to do the splinter group and i hope he still enjoying playing guitar
Made me cry and so happy he got back to playing
F***ing hell!! Yes. He's still got it. Genius. Really nice to watch him play this.
At least the man is out there standing up like a man and PLAYING,,,!,,Honestly lads would you be happier if he was locked away some old folks home,,,rotting away watching God knows what on a crummy TV in some "community room " in his pajamas? I didnt think so,,,,.So Big Up for Saint peter Green ,,,Peter you gave us so much MORE than we expected to receive,,,We still LEARN from you and RESPECT you to this day,,,
Well said....its a triumph....moving and inspiring.....so happy to see....
Saint peter Green....I like that
@Kevin Johnson Of course I am NOT HAPPY!!! We loved and idolized the guy and always wished him well.His death was a shock and a tragedy and wish wish he was still here. He deserved many more good years walking this Earth,,,
@David Doyle Yeah, not many respected him lately... Did you see his fingernails in some music magazines?? How many teeth de he loose?? Do you know he suffered for at least 8 years... Some members of the latest group bragging in magazines about "taking good care of him".. 😢😢 He was living his best years of his life as seen in the documentary "The man of the world"... He is better of in Heaven now being free of all leashes he's been forced to follow... 🙏♥️💕💕💕
Rest In Peace Greeny Your place is firmly cemented in the pantheon of electric guitarists-around the globe. Thanks for your inspiration and recorded legacy for us all. Godspeed Brother.
All the heart is still there - the magic still exists.
The touch, phrasing and soul.
Outstanding.
Lots of love from me.
Just pure feeling, sensational indeed Mr G.
Peter was one of the few that could make a guitar cry, sing and laugh RIP !!!
It's amazing the tone and the fel he got out of a guitar (any guitar) - his phrasing is immaculate even after all of his (well publicised) problems. 'The Supernatural' was so ahead of its time, and here he makes it still feel fresh.
the master of less is more. pure genius
So true can't stand souless fast meaningless playing
5 notes rather than 50 for me.
RIP Peter
Precisely. All his career. Tone, not technique.
Gracias por todo Amigo...RIP
😢😔
Peter Green has not lost it - an example of pure genius in phrasing, touch and feel. It is just wonderful to see Peter back lifting spirits up high. Thank you for posting this terrific melody.
Yes ! .. his own EXCELLENCIES still ... at deepest and FULL capacity ... REMAINING ❤❤❤
The magic is still there.
Yeah!!!!!!
It's so not!
He still has that lovely touch yes
@@andythomas706 But I'm glad he found his way out of the darkness somewhat...
@@jcgood Absolutely!
watching this with tears in my eyes.what a talent he is
another one here😭
This has warmed my heart.....I didn't know he could still play!! Peter, we were blessed to have you, and now we are blessed with memories of you. Sleep tight, sweet prince. I'll see you in my dreams. ❤❤❤
The timing in his phrases is a major part of his uniqueness. Great post thanks.
It was so great to see Peter Green make a come back after a very long period where he wrestled with his inner demons.
He may have lost some stuff, but he will never lose that touch!
He still has his own unique "feel" here... no need to blast off with high gain during this performance...listen to original recording if you want to hear it the original way. Nice to hear him here.
Now that's a good name for a band. Peter Green is a legend . I want that strat
😭😭😭 today is a sad day never never forget.. musicans fantastic play.. one and only.. ❣️ Peter Green 🥀
This changed my mind, musically. Forever grateful Mr Green you have brought pleasure to so many people's. We love you for that. Thank you.
He's still got that magic touch, although its a more gentle feel, he still plays great!!!
his music has always been......spooky, kind of eerie. not quite like anyone else
Not quite Skip James eerie, but right up there.
An all-time classic
PG is a living proof of genious and cruel reality but powerful triumph of human mind and survival in life! PG still has a part of his god's given musical gift and that's enough for him and all of us to be thankful about his genious. We must celebrate and enjoy his music for ourselves and with him. No other guitarists can explain such and all the feelings with many less notes! Cheers for PG.
Can't believe his is gone. My guitar idol. I watched the 'Albatros' video from this gig and whilst I was happy Peter was up on stage, I felt a bit sad as it just didn't seem like the old days. Then I put this on and was so chuffed to hear Peter taking the lead. Honestly almost sat here with a tear in my eye seeing Peter play this. It's not the same Peter Green that would coax those tones out of that Les Paul, but the sound is unmistakably Peter Green even with that strat. Rest in Piece Peter. I'm so grateful for you inspiring me to play guitar.
a magician on guitars....no one ever has that incredible sound....no one
Well said indeed. This performance is brilliant by anybodys standards. Musical genius.
another heavenly guitar master...conversing with💪😁
Peter has just mellowed. He's said he still loves to play but life is now 'more' to him than just playing guitar. He's got nothing to prove & has found peace in his soul.
I've heard people say he can't play solo anymore..This performance proves that to be nonsense. Pure genius imo.
Simply the greatest British blues guitarist of all time
Agreed, and have done so since the late 1960s first hearing him at 12 years old (Then Play On) and learning guitar. He influenced me more than anyone else.
RIP Peter Green, you will never be forgotten.
So good he even smiled
Very Sweet! Time to go on a Peter Green binge of music appreciation.
This is why i will always love peter g!!!
just worth it to see him smile again ,he was nearly lost forever ,love pete always will
Im glad Uncle Pete made it back , and still had the balls and fortitude to play something like his masterpiece " The Supernatural " on stage in front of a live audience. many people dont know it but Peter set the bar for guitar students and to this day many woodshed and practice his solo recordings to gain knowledge of the instrument.I was fortunate enough to see The Mac in Los Angeles on 3 occasions and I never will forget it. I met them at The Whiskey a Go Go and they were very nice to me. Thats the first time I saw Pete play a Strat with a blonde neck. They rocked the house.
I first heard this version live at ronnie scotts in birmingham uk and it sent shivers down my spine and guess what it still does.
Peter was honored a few years back for being such a proficient song writer. He wrote a lot of music. Green God...
so nice to see him playing again ok hes not the player he was but this guys been through hell so god bless him for his retern to the guitar
AMEN to that.
R.I. P. Mr. Green. Thank you for the great music
Thank you Peter Green, you brought such pleasure and happiness to the world with your inspired genius. Rest In Peace 💙
If I ever have a chance to see him play, I will die happy.
Too late pal
Green Manelishi
Me to sunshine....
Green Manelishi: Incidentally you spelt it wrong! There's no 'e' in it! As for seeing him play, you are 40 years too late I'm afraid!
I was him about 18 years ago, he was excellent in both voice & playing.
@@Simonc1952in Heaven...??
Years ago when Peter emerged from the darkness.
He did a small gig at Buxton Pavillion.
I was walking backstage when this bloke grabbed my shoulder.
He asked 'how did I sound mate ?, was I any good ?.
Never met the man before.
It was Peter Green.
A truly humble gentle genius !.
RIP Peter !.🧐🏴
'
I hope you gave him an answer that made him happy :)
So great to hear Peter doing Supernatural again after so many years. His perserverence itself was supernatural. RIP, friend. ❤
ONE OF THE GODS OF GUITAR!
great playing, loved to see him live
Always right where he is in the universe. Thank you kind sir …
hey guys, EC,PG, and those great guitarists they have and like to experiment. In art (and music) and life to stay "green", you must always learn, see and do new things and move on. Those greats got their part (fame, art,etc.), so they don't have the time and mind for nostalgie. It's only those of us, who accomplished nothing or have no real talent, we tend to always look back at the past of those times, feel regrets and begin to compare (out of ignorance and bitterness). Cheers.
Touch, tone, taste, time, feel - he still had it after everything that happened to him. Amazing!
Thanks for the upload. It's such a treasure to not only have his work from "the big days" of his career, but to still have him amongst us and continuing to make music. The fact that his life hasn't been easy and he's come through with such grace is an inspiration in itself.
I'd do anything just to hear him play a single note.I play a little n I know what he's been through. People like Peter Green comes around once in a life time.
You missed him by 40 years!
REST IN PEACE MAN!!
The most soulful blues player I have ever heard - great to see this and really feel it's "Greeny" playing again !!
This man had gold in his fingers! So moving to listen to him after his recent death !
Will be remembered for the simple but beautiful talent he was.
I watched him with Fleetwood Mac in 1969 at the Lyceum in London. Amazing!
Awesome! what more can you say...
This song is unreal in its beauty & yes the original recording is mind blowing so naturally i want that never ending sustained note which doesn’t really happen here
But my god his playing is still so beautiful! It’s just magic. I love this man’s music always thank you so so much universe for Peter Green ….Legend
PETER GREEN IS ONE OF THE BEST MUSICIAN FROM THE WORLD.
Masterpiece!!!One of the best Guitar Anthems..!!!
GENIUS BEAUTIFUL MAN
We all have our lives....live on...get older...younger.....but the independent factor is to enjoy it with a vision and perception of the past and future and its awareness...and the fact Peter Green is still with us.....playing as tastefully or sweeter than before.....I SEE some negative comments below which it is just a symptom of close-minded and not too much experience people in life......this no different from Hey Joe Hendrix and the slow version of Buchannam...a master piece....here the opposite..Carlos Santana made it a know Master Piece............ but the musical genius is Peter Green.....here this youuibe clip is a Father Master piece whose Carlos Santana's piece was born from........!!!....
Han är ju naturligtvis en av de bästa gitarrister all time!!!
What an absolute amazing musician and guitar player. I am in awe every time I listen. Thank you Peter.
Such a sad loss so smooth his guitar playing and all the years he lost in his life no who it is straight away rip pete gave so many people joy and wrote some great songs 👍
Love him. He had a hard time, and this is what was left. He was great.
Nearly all the best TV clips of musical legends on youtube seem to come from Germany. Great stages, sound and backgrounds- real bunch of pros.
Thank you and greetings from Germany.
Peter Green can still make time stand still with His Guitar....Superb Beautiful Haunting Music.
buska100: No He Can'T! You must be hard of hearing!
@@andythomas706 Zzzzzzz
This guy has been through the ringer in life,all things considered still a pretty impressive showing.Yes,he's not as searing as he used to and you can hear the years pulling him back but some nice phrasing and feel here,perhaps more mature in style than "passed it."
Still got it ,which is a miracle after what Petes been through,only Pete can play so delicately with feeling.
Wow!!! Peter Green Is One Amazing & Awesome Guitar Player!! A Great Big Huge Thumbs Up!!!
- Big Will / The Super Blues Universe
Pure Genius
My guitar idol finally got to see him at Byron Bay in 2012 it was a thrill and a lifetime wish
Yeah he's still got the magic
A 20 year old boy writes such a song, amazing.
gosh i still love the guy!!
a blues guitarist MAN amongst boys, peter one of the blues kings..... A hard act to follow.
You can hear the quality sound of the guitar and why Carlos Santana was inspired by this genius musician. God rest his soul. Thank you maestro peter green.
Do NOT knock Peter Green, he’s been through more shit than most could have nightmares of and still he went back to the guitar. For me the greatest white blues player ever.
Yep and agree. While some others from that era also were great, Peter Green had that extra bit of 'something' special that set him apart.
