Post- Mac gigs
On the excellent site http://www.marmalade-skies.co.uk/,
these gigs Green played after he left the band are documented: The Garage Club, Barnet 14/06/70 Night Angel Club, London 13/06/70 Windsor Festival 08/08/70 Roundhouse, London 13/12/70 Hampstead Country Club 18/12/70 Sadly no one seems to remember these gigs. Wonder if they were with Nick Buck. Last edited by dino; 03-04-2009 at 03:37 PM.. |

Nice find, Dino! Not the most user-friendly website, but looks like some interesting info on there.
Nice ad for the Green Manalishi single in there too: http://www.marmalade-skies.co.uk/may1970.htm |

So many bands...
That's a great website. So many bands that are long forgotten today.
Here are some things Mac related: |

Green didn''t actually play the 8/8/70 festival (although his name is shown on the flyer reproduced on the website). Christopher Hjort's book notes that Green told Melody Maker that he "chickened out". Those two June gigs are described in Hjort's book, and the book specifically mentions Nick Buck playing with Peter on the 14th. It's not clear from the book whether Peter actually played that 13 December show, but the 18 December one sounds like it was his last live performance of the period.
Of course, Green also played the Bath Festival on 27 June, as part of John Mayall's band. Judging from Hjort's book, it seems that Peter was rumored to appear at a number of shows during 1970 that he either was never really booked for or that he backed out of. There's a show listed in the book that was at the 100 Club in London on 25 August, but again the book doesn't make it clear whether Peter actually played or not (and it may well be that there wasn't any more info about whether he played). Another appearance noted in the book was Peter jamming with the group Noir at the Roundhouse on London in early July. But Hjort's book notes that few of Peter's appearances during this period were announced to the press, and there was little formal scheduling of shows. There may well have been more shows than have been documented, but it appears that he played very few dates after leaving Fleetwood Mac. One more appearance of note in 1970, again mentioned in Hjort's book - Peter happened to be in New Orleans visiting Nick Buck in early November, and the Allman Brothers invited him to jam with them at their show at the Warehouse on the 7th. What a shame Dinky Dawson wasn't there to record that! |

He did? I've read that somewhere before. Do you know the time period? BTW, I noticed on a previous picture I attached that Fleetwood Mac were headliners on a bill that featured Deep Purple. Peter Green, and Ritchie Blackmore on the same night at the same venue? |

Slipkid, there was some info about this that I'd come across and I posted about a few years back:

I guess if those sessions took place it was just after Green jammed with the Allmans in New Orleans 1970. Last edited by slipkid; 03-05-2009 at 11:35 AM.. |

This is a great thread!
Mario - do you have any more knowledge about the studio tapes with the Allmans and PG? Quality, quantity, who has the rights, has somebody heard them...? Here's the poster for the show that Peter supposedly appeared at: |

Theere was apparently also a gig at Marquee in London on June 24, 1970:
http://www.themarqueeclub.net/1970 Little Free Rock, who played on the same date, did some sessions with Green on his planned solo album, as mentioned before. Maybe also Ginger Johnson’s African Drummers, who may be the "african drummers" Green refers to in Martin Celmins' book. |

rememberences from the warehouse gig and beyond
Thanks monkeydevil for those great quotes.
now to the question I asked in my first post on this site under my spouses name (because she had a valid email adress) Whatever happened to the tapes of Duane Allman and Peter Green. The old thread cites that it was recorded by the legendary "Tom Dowd". They have never surfaced but it makes my eyes water just to think about it. Especially after reading that it happened after Peters trip to New Orleans with Nick Buck where Peter met a "shaman" who told him to make peace with all people that he wronged in his life. A mystery, by doodyhead, mel and vinnie |

Capricorn records is said to have discovered numerous lost sessions featuring Duane Allman, Toy Caldwell, Eric Clapton, Dicky Betts, and Peter Green. Many vocal & guitar demos recorded by Green circa 1970 at Muscle Shoals are said to be incredible. A compilation CD featuring primarily Duane Allman will include some of the Green numbers plus a breathtaking acoustic guitar duel between Duane and Peter previously not known to exist. Apparently there is enough Green material to warrant a second release featuring just Peter. According to Wikipedia, the Capricorn Records label was sold in 2001 to Zomba subsidiary Volcano Records and the artists who had been on it were dropped, transferred to Volcano, or dispersed to other labels. And the following year, Zomba was purchased by BMG. So at this point, it's anyone's guess as to who might have access to the Green/Allman tapes, if they still even exist (and if they ever really existed in the first place). Anyone got any suggestions on who (or even what record company) to contact to ask about this? Seems like it would be worth a try, anyway! |
