Even in 1979, you didn't have meet ANYBODY in the band to appear on one of their songs. As with my previous scenario, Mick & Peter (since they did hang out a bit back then) could've just dropped by the studio while Richard & Ken were doing some mixing...again, Peter may have just wandered out into the studio where a mic'd amp & a guitar were set up and possibly just noodled along with the song, then one of the guys in the control room hit "record" & VOILA! Peter's on the song.

I mean, that's a whole lot more plausible than trying to explain the "Ancient Alien" theory.

I love this, especially since I fall asleep to the show Ancient Aliens about 3 times a week.

I support chiliD and I am totally convinced that Peter appears at the end of "Brown Eyes".

It's his style. It would be much harder to believe if he was supposed to have played on another track on the album, where one cannot hear any guitar sounding like him.
Peter himself very often replies something like this: "Sorry, I can't remember. I was very ill at that time."

Lindsey said that Peter may have made the final cut.

It's clearly an overdub; maybe Dashut wasn't there for it. If it's not Peter, on aural evidence it's one of the best Peter Green imitators ever. So logically, it's Peter, as Mick has stated.

If Peter Was Part Of Brown Eyes The Only Part He Would Of Been In Would Be The Fade At The End

That's what I mean, those that just heard the song on the Chain box, probably don't hear it much/well but you can hear it better on Tusk.

I used to, as well.

But, where I live now, we don't get the H2 channel.

Still pissed at the History Channel for moving Ancient Aliens to H2.

Oh, here's one from the "gossip column". ;-) Back around the time of "Tusk", Mick was working on getting a Warners recording contract for Peter Green...who backed out at the last minute (literally, from all accounts I've read). Would you have been involved in recording that Peter Green comeback album, or was it not quite to that point when Peter said "no"?? Also, many accounts of Peter's playing on Chris' "Brown Eyes" on the "Tusk" album. Were you at the controls when Peter recorded his parts?? Any anectdotes about his being in the studio during that time? (Steve Denison, Long Beach, California, USA)

When Peter came to the Studio we were at the Record Plant, and we really didn't get much work done, it just turned into a big jam session with booze. I listened to those tapes during the box set and they were awful-- just hours and hours of solos, I think Richard Dashut was playing drums, and Ray Lindsey was playing guitar and Stevie tambourine and me console. You would probably have more fun listening to my latest recording of me having a root canal!

Like John Fitzgerald & David Oberman, I too, want to be a "Mac lobbyist" and go on record to say that "If Warners has it in their vaults, we want it in the stores!" :-) I'm not even that picky over format, I'll dig through my parents' garage rafters for the old 8-track cartridge player if they release it all in that format again (h

Sure sounds like Peter to me at the end of "Brown Eyes"
I believe that Peter used the 1960 Sunburst Les Paul that Mick Fleetwood bought for him around that time.

Wow! Thanks for picking MY question to Ken! I totally forgot about that!

I think so as well (and Night Watch) though I disagree with Ken saying the jams were horrible. Even though I haven't heard them, I can guarantee him I know I'd like them if I heard them!

I suppose it's Peter, and I must say that I LOVE his solo but that I HATE how short is it. It's really at the end!!!!!!! And I must turn on the volume to listen a bit more.
Surely it's different than a solo of Lindsey, but it's too short...
Regards!

It definitely fades out early on the Chain box (but does fade in earlier at the beginning, presumably to compensate but this doesn't help the PG fans since it's the end they care about).
