Peter Green plays three concerts in NZ!

[Conquiztador]

Yep, the blues roots of Fleetwood Mac, that I was a fan of (think Albatross, Man of the World and my alltime favorite: Oh Well) can be seen in NZ in March/April 2010.

The concerts are in Auckland, Wellington and Napier. But there needs to be tickets sold in advance for them to come here. The Napier concert is at The Cabana on 8 April (middle of week) and there needs to be a minimum of 200 tickets sold early for it to happen.

Napier tickets are $60 and inquiries can be sent to cabanahotel@xtra.co.nz.

I will not miss this!

And how you can expect it to sound like now:
OK, so they disabled it. But just click on the yellow "You Tube Video" text and you are sweet.

Frank Zappa: In France.

We're playin' in a tent
It's payin the rent
If you pooch a civilian,
It's a major event
In France
Way down in France
Way on down
Way on down
In France

The girls is all salty
The boys is all sweet
The food ain't too shabby,
An' they piss in the street
In France
Way down in France
Way on down
Way on down
In France

They got diseases
Like you never seen
Got a mystery blow-job
Turn your peter green
In France
Way down in France
Way on down
Way on down
In France

Fuck me - you are joking, I'm a massive Peter Green fan! Woo Hoo,,

I fucken hate Fleetwood Mac

[Skyryder]

He's not coming down here.....................pity.

There are those that will be able to say they saw Peter Green and those that did not.

Green been ill a lot of his life and as such has not had the accolades from the public as has King, Clapton, Vaughn just to mention those bluesmen that come to mind.

He's a must see if you can.

Interesting that he gave his Les Paul to Gary Moore in the early days of Moore's career. It was the same one used on Parisian Walkways.

You a blues guitarist y'self then Skyrider? Quite keen myself:

Cool thread!

I enjoyed those Vid's also - what a talent.

I had the dubious honour of bumping in to Peter Green in the White Horse Pub in Norbiton-upon-Thames in '94.

To be honest I didn't know of him at that time, but a mate I was with is a Music fanatic and filled me in. It was in the afternoon, so the pub was empty except for Peter and us few. At that time he looked like a real dero, and Jerry, the Landlord told us who he was - that he was suffering the long term effects of drug use over the years - and that altho many pubs didn't want him as a Customer (a bad "look") he was harmless - how ironic, if only the punters knew who he was - tho he prob preferred the anominity.

We were also told that Mick Jagger who lived close, in Richmond, - was very good to him and visited him regularly.

Its good to see he's out there doing it again.

Well Peter Greens orignal fleetwood mac is a very different beast to the later pop clture one.... The back story is fantastic, the latent talent is just amazing and you will never get a chance to see him again. Peter green is a bit of a cult figure these days but honestly, do a bit of research and then come listen to the man that gave us 'Black magic Woman", Albatross and so much more.

Don't expect too much, hes had a hard time of it - check the back story - he is old and frail but this is about more than that, its homage to a man that changed music just a little, was touched by the finger of god and was consumedin the process.

Peter green is a living legend.
