Peter Green documentary

[dansven]

Check this! They've put out a teaser for the upcoming Peter Green documentary on YouTube!

It's supposed to be a 90 min TV show and a 2 hour DVD. It seems great with all the interviews. Jeremy, Clifford Davis (I finally got to see that guy!), Mick (must be hot, look under his arm!) etc....
And Peter certainly deserves this sort of documentary "tribute"!!!

BUT: When it comes to archive material, we've seem those old clips 1000 times! If they haven't managed to dig up anything more than that, then they've not done a very good job! I was really hoping for more than cut'n'paste from the "Fleetwood Mac Early Years" DVD!

Yes, thanks Daniel!
This looks promising... The BB King quote was astonishing.

Hopefully this doesn't just focus on his Mac era.

Thanks for letting us know Daniel. A pity about two things:
1. No interview (attempt?) with Danny Kirwan;
2. Too much already known material, cut'n'paste, as you mentioned.
As for the material, the Den Haag (The Hague) show was on Dutch TV in 1969, in color! Part of that show is on Roughage 69. Sadly, the material has been destroyed. Surely there must have been other shows in other countries. Is there really nothing to be found?????

Thanks for spotting this, Daniel!

The documentary makers may have attempted to interview Danny Kirwan, but I have no idea what shape he's in these days - it may just not have been workable.

It would be a shame if there's not some older video footage in the documentary that we haven't seen before, but it seems like most of the attention has been given to the interviews (judging from the YouTube trailer, anyway). I think you're right, Wouter, there just has to be more old footage someplace, but who knows if anyone will be able to locate it (or even try).

Well we can't judge anything by these few clips other than there will be a lot of interviewing going on because they already have it and dont have to fight for release rights.. I will just be happy to see footage of peter talking. I find the guy just facinating...not just because i am a fan. I hope some early stuff comes out. maybe they found his ex. I know my ex has a lot of my stuff (comic releif)

thanks for the post

any idea when it is going to be released? i can''t wait. in any event

...personally,

I'm tired of the horse****.
If Peter never plays again, so be it......
I won't idolize his efforts or achievements.
In my opinion, that's why he's gone underground.
I want to hear what's relevant to him now and I won't compare it to past works or try to figure out where he's headed next.
If he graces us with any future recorded tracks we're lucky.
The end.

Well, according to Martin Celmins' book, Peter gave his wife a tape of his Munich acid jam, so it would be nice if they found her Hopefully there are other copies of that tape in existence and one will surface someday.

there was a man who ran for president of the united states. his name was louis abolafia. on posters all over NYC where I lived at the time he put up a poster of himself holding out his hands holding a mound of doody with the caption under it "Tired Of the same old ****?" He was not 35 at the time and even if he could have gone on the ballot he was ineligible.
I do not idolize Peter Green. I think I i am just so captivated by what he has done over his career "whatever that is" that I just keep wanting to hear everything he has done or is doing. I dont know why. I wish I could play music with him. When I was in bands in my youth I wanted to play the kinds of stuff he played. I was in blues bands but never found people to play with that had a real passion for music. I have seen BB King maybe 20 times over five decades, I saw Freddy King in 68, 70, and 71. Buddy Guy in the early 70s when he and Junior Wells were the hottest thing around. These guys had passion. Thats what peter has. Whats wrong with being close to the fire? I wish him well in whatever he does. I dont like hangers on or fans anymore than anyone else. Why the hell does anyone post to this website if they were not interesed in him. He is not God. neither am I.
