Saw peter green and friends last night in nottingham it was amazing.
First of all after seeing him on his first comeback tour back in 1996 I had pretty low expectations (sorry) however after 1 bar of the first track it was plain to see that this was a different peter green and a tighter more sympathetic band than the splinter group.
For the first half hour of the show i had to fight back the tears a bit i felt that moved by it. His singing was incredible really clear and incredibly soulful and showing quite considerable range, this is a real singer! His voice is amazing now, just like lived in but amzing.
I was a bit sceptical of mike dodd prior to seeing the show having seen some of the clips of him bouncing round on youtube, now i get it, he´s awesome has a great charm and u can see the affection he has for peter and vice versa. There´s lots of little jokes between them and great banter. Mike your a saint dude!
The rest of the band is awesome, not into sax much but i see it takes a bit of pressure off peter taking all the solos which he didnt seem to care so much for, and makes the overal sound of the band polished.
Keyboard player is a real star too amazingly tasteful playing awesome!
Was the best gig i´ve seen after jimmy smith .
Felt though that the best tracks peter performed where the ones he didnt write. He obviously knows what fits his voice best.
Awesome show.
Peter looks very happy
