Bluesbreakers Live in 1967 - Volume 2

[AccidentalLight]

Just checked the originals but there is no "Greeny" on those - maybe I missed one. Additionally, there is no "Four Million Nobs" on the Volume 2 track-list and this would be inexcusable.

I have a half memory of reading something saying that Four Million Nobs turned into Greeny but could never find the quote again. Maybe Greeny is Four Million Nobs

Same track, different title.

Also of note is that this track is from the Ram Jam Club show in early February 1967 with Aynsley Dunbar on drums, not Mick Fleetwood.

Ram Jam Club - I find that surprising. This is "One Million Nobs" presumably before Peter discovered the extra 3 million. "Four Million Nobs" on The Marquee tape of 27th April is, IMHO, far, far superior. Faster, more dynamic and generally much better playing.

Anyone listening to this and expecting a live version of "Greeny" all laid-back style will be (hopefully) pleasantly surprised.

My favourite track of all the live tapes (four million version)

My error, AccidentalLight, and I'll bet you're correct. I spotted the "Four Million Knobs" track on the Ram Jam Club date tracklist and missed seeing that it was also recorded on the Marquee Club date. It's been awhile since I listened to either of them. So most likely the recording selected for the upcoming Mayall disc is from that later Marquee show that does include Mick Fleetwood.

"Laid-back" is definitely not Peter's style during most of these live tapes - his playing was more aggressive than nearly anything he did afterwards.

Peter is playing loud and fast as heck. Must have felt the pressure of replacing Clapto. While he soon developed his unique and wonderful less-is-more approach, it's fun to hear this development stage.

Just a reminder - this is available as of today! It's listed on both the Amazon US and UK websites, and it sounds like some people have actually received CDs from Amazon already.
