The Peter Green photo thread
 

Let's post photos of our favourite guitarist here. :)
Any photo! Band pics or solo... And hopefully some rare that you want to share.

Here's one I hadn't seen until recently. Don't know who that other guy is.... maybe Peter Vernon-Kell?

Well, among others I found this one on the web:

PG photo
 

Thanks Mario for updates on Peter and new pictures.
This is my fav PG picture
Cheers:wavey:

Wouter: Yes, there are several good quality band photos taken from that same gig. :D
Jim: That's a nice one! :nod:

Here are some cool newer shots:

And a few more:

PG t-shirt idea...
 

For some time trying to decide what photo will be on my new custom order T-shirt.
These are my top 2 choices.
First photo is my absolutely iconic and best ever rock picture!:D
By the way Dan, i love all pictures that you posted.;)
Peace!
P.S.Next Saturday i will have a chance to talk to Eric Burdon, and i am gonna ask him his opinion on PG and did they ever came across each other..(not to my knowledge??)

very interesting picture of Greeny circa 1977........

Mario.

Yes Jim, that first picture is really great. But for now I'll settle for the two T-shirts I ordered at djteesdotcom (one of them my avatar here, but in black).
On the other hand, I guess I'd like yours as well......:wavey:

Here's one I found in an article written by Martin Celmins on Jeremy Spencer.
Then one picture taken from the cover of a Dutch magazine (Taptoe, 1969).
And one taken from the cover Beat Instrumental magazine, july 1969.

I like this one as well:

Very cool and rare pictures
Thanks Wouter

this is a recent one, enjoy..!!

Mario.

Again Mario,
thanks so much for sharing your pictures:wavey:
It is a privilege seeing THE MASTER with a guitar!:D
I hope one day he will come to Canada ......it is a shame that not many people here knows about PG......
I sound like broken record every day tellin my friends how good he is;)
,,damn, its cold in Ontario!!!

Great photos, folks! :)

Wouter, the group photo in the middel of those three you posted is unknown to me! NICE!
Mario, thanks for that new photo!! Mike Dodd seems like a good guy! :nod:
Jim Morrison: Let us know about your meeting with Eric Burdon. ;)

One question for you all: A few years ago Peter's nephew Joe Green visited this forum and posted a few drawings that Peter Green made. I downloaded them, but lost them in a computer crash a while back. Now I can't find them on this forum either. Does anybody here have these photos and be able to post them again?
That would make me veeerrry happy. :)

Unfortunately didnt have chance to meet Eric Burdon last night. He put up great show here in Windsor,Canada.
By the way, does anybody knows if they have ever jam together?:shrug:
Just came across few records like TRAMP and 'Brunning Sunflower Blues Band' .
Peter Green name is all over it....
Maybe some of you knows more:shrug:

Eric Burdon & Peter
 

According to the Celmins biography, Peter told John Mayall that he'd had an offer to join the Animals.
This was after Clapton left the Bluesbreakers for the second time, and Peter was trying to make Mayall sweat a little as to whether or not he ( Peter ) would return.

Based on this information, one could assume the Burdon and Green crossed paths back in the day.

Evan Morris: Thanks for the info about Peter being offered a job with the Animals. I've read it long ago, but forgotten all about it. :)

Jim Morrison:
Bob Brunning (Fleetwood Mac's first and temporary bassist) formed two bands with Bob Hall (piano).

Brunning Sunflower Blues Band released an LP called "Brunning Sunflower Blues Band" in the late 60's, featuring Peter Green on about half of the tracks. Peter's playing is brilliant, and he also sings on a couple of tracks.

Tramp released two LPs called "Tramp" (1969) and "Put A Record On" (1974), featuring Danny Kirwan and Mick Fleetwood on most tracks.

Greeny drawings
 

Are these them?

To Dan & Libra:
Thanks so much for clarifying my recent posts.:wavey:
Peter to join The Animals! Wow! :D
Just imagine great guitar parts on some of Animals tunes;)
Love those PG paintings,colors reminds me of his hat he wore in Germany live Splinter show...
Peace!

OOPS
want it to thank Evan Morris too!

YES!! :D
A million thanks to you!!! :wavey:

They're a bit psychedelic.. ;)

These pictures are fascinating, abstract and unselfconscious and I don't know why I'm surprised- they are clearly from an intensely creative imagination. I wonder when they were done?

This gotta me my new favourite picture. :thumbsup:

A nice one indeed...;)
Mario.

This is a new photo. It's from an exhibition by Scarlet Page (Jimmi Page's daughter) called "Resonators" which includes famous guitar players. Prints can be bought, and the exhibition supports the Teenage Cancer Trust.
More info on the links below. The pic of Peter can be bought for £ 499, autographed by Peter.

I wonder why the Norwegian hat??? :shrug:;)
And his nails look more healthy than on other recent photos.

Yes...Scarlet Page, Mike Dodd told me about this......

Simply amazing...Really a good and positive idea. Lot of stars & legends over there!!!
Nice to see Peter again, he looks fine!
Regards and thanks for share!

heres one from the early 70's

well I think this is from 1977-1978.....the time Peter spent in L.A., and that Les Paul is
a replacement Mick Fleetwood gave to him......

Mario.

Yes, you're right. It's probably from the time just before "In The Skies" was released.
Could this also be the Mick Fleetwood Les Paul?

mario, tall paul, do you know, is the other guy nigel watson? resembles him

thanks for the post of the new photo dansven & for the info. i am thinking how much better peter looks now than he did in the late 70's

z

Yes, I think it is the same guitar.......:D

Mario.

Yes , I think it is the same guitar..:D

Mario.

Here's some more info for that guitar.
http://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=158329

The other guy is Frank Lucido, a guitar dealer at the time. Frank sold that guitar to Peter and Mick in '79 and he was kind enough to send me that picture to use for an article on that guitar in Vintage guitar magazine in 2009.
Here's a set of scans from that article.

Thank you very much for that story, yeti!! :D

Les Paul Tailpiece
 

Strange that the strings are fed in backwards and therefore wrapped over the top of the tailpiece before going over the bridge I've never seen this done on any tunomatic with tailpiece before (though of course it is done on a LP junior ,because the tailpiece is also the bridge !) .Could there be an advantage to it ?

"Top wrapping" is quite common and have been discussed in lenght among guitarists.

See e.g. http://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=131784

BTW, I've tried it and found the difference is subtle... :shrug:

here's a bit of a mystic one . . . but i love it anyway. enjoy!
