Have anyone seen one single review of the concerts? Apart from the one Mrs Moose shared here earlier. It's just weird, though I've read that the quality of journalism is slipping.

It's true what Mario says: his guitar playing is getting better and better!!! (Sob, sob...)

These clips are stunning!
Cool to hear new songs. I think that's "necessary" for Peter. To keep changing the setlist and keep things fresh. That was (I think) a problem with Splinter Group. Very little variation in their shows.

Here's a new "Rattlesnake Shake" Very powerful. I can't hear what Peter says after the third verse.

Holy Mackerell, Dansven. Thanks for the clip. I can't hear what he is saying either, but it is great that he can allow himself to be spontaneous. Somehow Oh Well and Rattlesnake are not in his voice level (it's become deeper of course), but what the hell. He seems to take it humorously (around 00:30).
Blues Get Of My Shoulder for instance hits the voice level (I don't really know how to write this in english - y'know what I mean...) so it also hits the heartstrings of the listener better.

Beautiful, beautiful tone. The Friends must be in heaven playing with him.

[doodyhead]

Thanks muchly for all this new footage

It would appear that peter seems to be having a good time back in Great Britain.
I think there is something to what was said about not getting stale with material.
its great to hear him do some or these songs live

this stuff is pure bliss. thank you

I noticed on some of the youtube comments someone posted (I have to think it was a doctor)
that peter should get his throat checked out for polyps.

quote: Old singers have often lumps on their vocal cords. If left untreated, they may prevent the singer from exercising his profession. Peter Green has been singer more than 40 years
There is a treat.after that single operation it might be possible to hear Peter Green sing still once more laud and clear.
If You want to know more, google: nodulus plicae vocalis. (and inform P.G.)


what do you think?

this is a real doodyhead question

Great new clips; on Help Me Through The Day, Peter's guitar starting about 4:00 is sublime, especially at 4:25 ..!!

I don't think Peter sounds as if he's having nodules on his vocal cords.
But I'd gladly give him a free indirect laryngoscopy and find out!

I'd say Peter's diagnosis is this: Blues voice

According to their MySpacepage it is Geraint Watkins. A great musician in his own right!

You're welcome, doodyhead
Indeed Peter has a voice full of emotions.
I can't think of many others who can sing like he does on "You'll Be Sorry Someday" and "Cruel Contradictions" and so on...

I agree that "Oh Well" and "Rattlesnake Shake" don't fit his present voice that well. I thought the same when Splinter Group did "Rattlesnake". But still great to hear. This one is a bit more loose than with the SG ... more similar to how it was done with F.Mac.

I remember when Peter was with the Splinter Group. He sometimes used to switch the line about Mick to fit their drummer, Larry Tolfree. He'd sing "I know this guy, his name is Larry..." and then something more that I don't remember, which rhymed with "Larry". It was cool! I have it on bootleg someplace.

Anyway, the other "new" songs with the Friends really suit his present voice and singing. Excellent stuff!

I now officially apologize for my knee-jerk reaction to videos with bad visual quality. They have brought back "Rattlesnake Shake", wow! I love how Peter plays the original live '69/'70 closing riff as his mini-solo before the actual ending. It's one of the greatest rock/blues riffs ever created.
