One of my ‘pet projects’ during the quarantine was to reacquaint myself with early British Blues gutarist and groups. With that in mind among some of my recent purchases were John Mayall ‘Live in 1967’ vol 1&2 LP’s, Fleetwood Mac Before the Beginning 1968-1970 Live and Demo Sessions, Fleetwood Mac The Warehouse Tapes. I mention these because they all feature Peter Green, and while the recordings are not typical quality/audiophile productions they really give a fantastic glimpse into Peters early days trying to fill the shoes of Eric Clapton. As a few have already mentioned he was a total success. As a pure blues guitarist I would have to rank him top of the British players back in the 60’s and early 70’s. I saw the Amazon documentary Peter Green: Man of the World several days ago and it conveys the impression that he had found a certain sense of peace after his turbulent days dealling with his health issues. So sad to read of his passing. RIP Peter!
