Brilliant guitarist. Saw him with his splinter group several years ago. Top man
I think he led a reclusive life in recent years. I actually met a bloke who had played in Green's group a couple of years ago and he said Green was brilliant but became more and more unreliable. He said sadly it became difficult and he had to leave the band. R.I.P.
This is a sad one, a lovely man. He sat in front of me all night whilst I was doing my gig and at the end of the gig we ended up talking for about an hour or so about fishing, music and life. He loved my Fender bass and playing. He was cautious and friendly and talked a lot of sense for sure. Thanks Peter for all the music.
First saw him playing years ago with John Mayall in (of all places) Margate .. superb musician and composer .. as said above, went on a drug trip years ago and alas, never came back ... R I P
1st Album I ever bought was The Pious Bird of Good Omen. Loved the early Fleetwood Mac stuff but stopped listening after he left as it seemed soulless.
When living in Richmond in the late 80s there was a quite well dressed street dweller my wife and I used to see, we joked that you get a better class of tramp in Richmond.
Didn’t realise until we saw a Fleetwood Mac documentary on tv that it was indeed Pete Green.
I much preferred Fleetwood Mac during their Blues era. One of my favourite tracks is ‘Man of the World’ sung by, of course, Peter Green. RIP, a true British Blues Legend
One of my absolute guitar hero`s. I tried to replicate his sound on a Gibson Les Paul, but i couldn`t get his feeling. BB King used to say he made him sweat. I will miss him.
Loved that Fleetwood band, been playing Gary Moore in the car and the track 'Need your love so bad' reminds me so much of Peter Green. Also could vary the format with Green Manalishi, Oh Well, Albatross and Man of the world. Great player.

Blues for Greeny by the late Gary Moore was a fantastic album.
they say I’m a man of the world.
