I was most excited that Peter was to be one of the artists during this time. He was always a great hero of mine along with Clempson and Clapton, but in the early days, definitely the top man.
Imagine my disappointment when the band took the stage, I know that the blues is a Black Man's music, but the guys in this band were not bluesers by any stretch of the imagination, good musicians I am sure, but not blues men. As has been mentioned elsewhere on these forums, they kept telling the audience that the great Peter Green was on stage.

Thanks for the story! Would that have been in 1981? Um yes, they were more African funk musicians, weren't they.

I guess we're all aware here that this wasn't a great period for Green artistically. But it's still very nice to have some music from these years.

It seems you worked with Kolors from 1984-85? Very much appreciate you stopping by.

Later than 81, it appears there were many, "funk" lineups, but I think Jeff Whittaker was the common denomenator, I cannot be certain of this, but when I got involved that was my impression.
There are many thoughts and opinions that cannot be stated on a public forum!
Martin Celmins, when he finally tracked me down, said that he would have loved to have spoken to someone else from the "Whitakker era" as he called it, for the original book, before it became the "Official" biography, at least I was able to provide him with a photograph of the 84/85 lineup, too late to alter the text!
I am trying to track down some recordings of the period, which is how I stumbled upon this forum, particularly the live concert recorded in Stockholm and broadcast on Swedish radio, and the dreadful Spanish TV show, where Peter, in typical style, refused to mime to the lyrics, priceless!

Thank you very much, I will unveil what I can as time progresses, not trying to hang it out, but I am new to forums in general, and I have other things I must do. Many things have been stated about this period, which was not particularly auspicious for Peter, although I honestly believe it was a step up from the "funk" period.
I do not know about other times, but he did insist on being called Greenbaum, which of course is his real name.

Too early for your involvement but a lot of the same people

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl5bBgOtpWc

As you get older, december 1982 is not far from August 1984

I wonder if there is still the footage from the rest of this concert?

The whole broadcast circulates, something like 9 tracks. It's probably not the whole concert, though.

Default the whole broadcast? mel and vinnie want to know

I have only "seen" the "Black Magic Woman" portion of this. I have heard audio however. Is the video on youtube? If so I have never found it. If someone here has access or knows the links it would be wonderful if they could post it.


doodyhead, mel and vinnie

Depends upon your viewpoint, the early band that I saw did not really enhance any of Peter's music, in my opinion, at least the line up during my envolvement played the blues, as it were, well obviously that is a matter of conjecture, but I think the 84/85 line up was truer to the music of Peter Green, this is of course somewhat subjective!
