Brown Eyes
 

Hi!

Does the alternate version of "Brown Eyes" on the remastered Tusk album have any playing from Peter?

Daniel

Yes, Daniel,
it does.
Sounds like the same take to me, though. But the mix is different,
and there's less of Lindsey's guitar parts. I've always wondered
if Green only plays those few licks at the end, as some of the
guitar that comes before sounds a bit like him. Oh well........

Thanks, Dino! :)
I guess I'll have to run to the shop now and get it!!

Yes, I've also thought the same...

And from one thing to another... I think you're right that it is not Peter playing the solo on "Big Boy Now". I've listened to it a lot lately, and I guess it is that session guitarist. Anyway, I really like that song!

Daniel

I never knew he played on that till like 2 years ago.

And here I thought this was a thread dedicated to me, but located in the wrong area of The Ledge! :( DAMN! :)

I didn't name myself Brown Eyes for just any reason...I LOVE THE SONG!

Oh my, that's funny!!:wavey:

Love the Green God...

You know it!!:nod:

No Peter Did Not Play on the Tusk Album

Peter Says He Did Not Play on the Tusk Album

Lindsey also verified that Peter wasn't on the "Tusk" album in an interview.

Link/source?

Fair enough if it's true, but Mich Reynolds answered those questions, not Peter and I doubt she knew enough about those sessions to come to this determination and Mick claims he was on Mayall's Curly/Rubber Duck single which just isn't possible so hopefully we can get good info on this at some point but we'll see I guess. :)

Peter said he didn't play on "Night Watch" on the Penguin album, either; however, Mick said he played on both "Night Watch" & "Brown Eyes". Both guitar parts sound almost identical with similar tone.

If I recall, on "Night Watch", Mick (or was it Bob?) described it as they were mixing the song and Peter was in another room just noodling along with the playback & they just happened to have his amp mic'd & somebody hit the "record" button. Probably a similar situation with "Brown Eyes". Not a formal "here, Peter, we want to you play on this song" type situation.

Bob Has Confirmed peter is indeed playing on Night Watch

Not Brown Eyes, On Q&A Peter said he only met Lindsey & Stevie at the RRHOF

Even in 1979, you didn't have meet ANYBODY in the band to appear on one of their songs. As with my previous scenario, Mick & Peter (since they did hang out a bit back then) could've just dropped by the studio while Richard & Ken were doing some mixing...again, Peter may have just wandered out into the studio where a mic'd amp & a guitar were set up and possibly just noodled along with the song, then one of the guys in the control room hit "record" & VOILA! Peter's on the song.

I mean, that's a whole lot more plausible than trying to explain the "Ancient Alien" theory. :nod:

I love this, especially since I fall asleep to the show Ancient Aliens about 3 times a week.

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
 

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! :)

John

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!

It definitely fades out early on the Chain box (but does fade in earlier at the beginning, presumably to compensate but this doesn't help the PG fans since it's the end they care about).

John

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. :)

John

You're Right

"architect of the sound ..."


What a monstrosity of pomposity.

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

Richard Dashut said he doesn't ever remember fleetwood mac working with peter green for brown eyes

It's clearly an overdub; maybe Dashut wasn't there for it. If it's not Peter, on aural evidence it's one of the best Peter Green imitators ever. So logically, it's Peter, as Mick has stated.
