From interviews that Peter did during his PGSG tenure, he was MORE than happy to let Nigel play the solos that Peter had recorded (on the Fleetwood Mac material). Peter's thinking was that if Nigel did those parts, he was free to experiment with a different approach to the songs...which I think he pulled off pretty well.
I think the PGSG was GREAT for Peter, to a point. I think he just outgrew them...it got to a point where he was being stifled (probably by Nigel, mainly). The only way he would be able to take his playing to another level (again, after having to totally relearn how to play) was to break free of the PGSG.
If you haven't already, pick up both the
Destiny Road &
Time Traders albums...those, IMHO, are the two best PGSG albums.
