a most lyrical guitarist, far superior to all of his British mates (with the possible exception of Jeff Beck). author of many touching songs with his F-Macs, and of a brave experimental album, before his mind went astray.
this song is making me cry everytime I listen to it
may you rest in peace, Peter Allen Greenbaum

Brilliant guitarist, and as B.B. King stated, the sweetest guitar tone in existence.
RIP

I confess I'm not familiar with much of his work. I remember Martin Birch raving about him when he worked with Fleetwood. Not too late to hear his recordings.
RIP, DFTR. He wasn't much older than me.

Spotty video, but this famous Boston Tea Party performance from 1970 gives a sense of the man's soul on one of his signature tunes Black Magic Woman.
I love the interplay with Danny Kirwan:

That's great. Lots of interplay like that between me and Richie on "Symbol Remains."

My personal favorite of his. He was such an incredible and creative writer.

I think one reason Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac didn't perhaps get their due was their early rigid adherence to the blues. Their first self-titled album, and then "Mr. Wonderful" set their template as a blues bar band par excellence, supporting many of the legit blues masters that were rediscovered in the '60s (e.g., Mac's "Blues Jam In Chicago.") When these bands broke away from old standbys (like Elmore James' "Shake Your Money Maker") and stretched out with their own compositions, that's when the magic took hold. Bands like Savoy Brown, Chicken Shack and Groundhogs were facing similar conundrums, in my opinion: Stick with being a generic back-up blues band, or put their faith in something authentic and new?

fleetwood mac was underated not because it was a blues band (then play on is more rock oriented ) just because peter green left the band at 23 years old
In 1969, Green's band, Fleetwood Mac, sold more albums than the Beatles and the Stones combined, and in its first three years the group's best-known hits were all written by Green.

Listening to "Albatross" as we speak. What a genius.
