The Ledge - Brown Eyes

I support chiliD and I am totally convinced that Peter appears at the end of "Brown Eyes". :nod: It's his style. It would be much harder to believe if he was supposed to have played on another track on the album, where one cannot hear any guitar sounding like him.
Peter himself very often replies something like this: "Sorry, I can't remember. I was very ill at that time."

Lindsey said that Peter may have made the final cut.

I used to, as well. :thumbsup:

But, where I live now, we don't get the H2 channel. :(
Still pissed at the History Channel for moving Ancient Aliens to H2. :mad:

From the Ken Caillait Q&A

Oh, here's one from the "gossip column". ;-) Back around the time of "Tusk", Mick was working on getting a Warners recording contract for Peter Green...who backed out at the last minute (literally, from all accounts I've read). Would you have been involved in recording that Peter Green comeback album, or was it not quite to that point when Peter said "no"?? Also, many accounts of Peter's playing on Chris' "Brown Eyes" on the "Tusk" album. Were you at the controls when Peter recorded his parts?? Any anectdotes about his being in the studio during that time? (Steve Denison, Long Beach, California, USA)

When Peter came to the Studio we were at the Record Plant, and we really didn't get much work done, it just turned into a big jam session with booze. I listened to those tapes during the box set and they were awful-- just hours and hours of solos, I think Richard Dashut was playing drums, and Ray Lindsey was playing guitar and Stevie tambourine and me console. You would probably have more fun listening to my latest recording of me having a root canal!

Like John Fitzgerald & David Oberman, I too, want to be a "Mac lobbyist" and go on record to say that "If Warners has it in their vaults, we want it in the stores!" :-) I'm not even that picky over format, I'll dig through my parents' garage rafters for the old 8-track cartridge player if they release it all in that format again (h

Sure sounds like Peter to me at the end of "Brown Eyes"
I believe that Peter used the 1960 Sunburst Les Paul that Mick Fleetwood bought for him around that time.

Wow! Thanks for picking MY question to Ken! I totally forgot about that! ;):D

I think so as well (and Night Watch) though I disagree with Ken saying the jams were horrible. Even though I haven't heard them, I can guarantee him I know I'd like them if I heard them! :)

I suppose it's Peter, and I must say that I LOVE his solo but that I HATE how short is it. It's really at the end!!!!!!! And I must turn on the volume to listen a bit more.
Surely it's different than a solo of Lindsey, but it's too short...
Regards!

I see...
And it's really sad to know that there's no other version of the song, or at least the same solo, but with the correct volume.
Regards!

If Peter Was Part Of Brown Eyes The Only Part He Would Of Been In Would Be The Fade At The End

That's what I mean, those that just heard the song on the Chain box, probably don't hear it much/well but you can hear it better on Tusk. :)

Gazette: It’s often been said that you were the architect of the Fleetwood Mac sound as most people know it. And correct me if this is not accurate, but I understand that Peter Green played on Brown Eyes, uncredited ...

Buckingham: Who?

Gazette: Peter Green.

Buckingham: Mmmm ... I don’t believe so.

Gazette: OK, then that must be an urban legend, because I had read that in a few places.

Buckingham: I don’t believe that, no. I don’t remember that. Even if he had, that has nothing to do with who was the architect of the sound ...

Gazette: No, no, no. Where I was going with that (was that) it seemed like a strange meeting of two different versions of the group – and if that had been an accurate story ....

Buckingham: Well, you can always call Mick and ask him. I don’t recall that. Anything is possible, though. I don’t believe so.

Gazette: OK. I’ll scratch that one.

Buckingham: Because you know why? If he had played on it, believe me – Mick would have seen to it that he got credit.

Sure he's a pompous a-hole, but he's OUR pompous a-hole!
