but this discovery came as quite a surprise to me. i NEVER bothered to listen to "tusk", and imho the song as such isn't that phenomenal. but for my money peter's guitar contributions on this alternate mix simply upgrade it to another level. and i sure do hope that there's still more of unreleased exciting material featuring greeny slumbering in the vaults and awaiting the light of day . . .

Yes, Peters playing certainly makes an otherwise dull song come alive (Sorry, I don't want to offend any Post Peter Mac fans ).....
There must be more material out there, only waiting to be found. Old film from concerts would be really really great.

I always liked "Brown Eyes". It's one of few Chris songs that is not about falling in love, being in love, hoping to be in love or make believe love. It has an interesting atmosphere. These early lyrics do sound like they could be about Greeny. Unfortunately, there's no comments from Chris in the sleeve notes, just rather uninteresting, stroppy comments from Mick and full of himself-Buckingham.

I just received the Tusk expanded CD edition. (When it was released, I only downloaded the "new" version of "Brown Eyes".) I've been listening to that track a lot the last days. Peter is playing soooo good!!

The track and Peter's contributions are mentioned in the booklet.

Lindsey:
"I don't remember Peter Green coming in, so I don't think I made any judgement on whether to use it or not. Mick would ultimately have had the decision to use his playing or not. And it as Christine's song to do with as she wished."

Mick:
"Peter was living in L.A. then and hanging out at my house a lot. He was still as he is now, changed, but he used to pop into the studio occasionally. I don't know if he was that interested or not, but he did play on this song, which I love. Classic, slinky, killer stuff from Chris. The band's playing really shines. I can't recall why we only used Peter at the very end, but it's great that he's on there, because it's Peter and it's his band."
