Pete – out off stage always escorted by 3 german bodyguards – was in good shape. He played fine and smiled very often very lucky. The set list was the same as in the Paradiso in Amsterdam:.....

.....Dear people, I hope my review was a little bit interesting for you.

dear manfred, very interesting and encouraging. thanks for the vocal credits too. i think its a great sign that theres nearly no mac material.

although i'd love to hear it, i don't think peter will ever do oh well again. i think his voice suits the lyrics better now than in 1969 but he never played it with the splinter group did he? was it ever played in the pvk era shows? zero

Yes, the Kolors band played it, if that's what you mean. Not a great version, though.
Maybe they could do a new arrangement? The original is pretty heavy, Led Zeppelin-style.

I recall during the Splinter Group days, Peter said he didn't want to play "Oh Well" again. He said they were doing a number of old Mac songs and that would be a step too far into the past.

I am a little surprised this new band isn't playing Green Manalishi, because Peter has said many times that is his favourite song...but the main thing is that Peter plays and sings songs that he wants to be involved with.

Perhaps they could have arranged Oh Well as a boogie
Anyway, Peter is proud of Oh Well part 2, so perhaps they could rehearse only that part..

Btw, The Stumble is on youtube now!! I haven't had the time to LISTEN to it now, but Peter looks like he's enjoying himself!!

Ha...I am at work but couldn't resist a listen. Pretty good performance, and Peter gives it a bit of welly...and seems to really be enjoying it. Especially at the end, such a grin on his face. Good to see and hear.

Todays issue of the German Newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) contains a review of the Peter Green Anthology-CD-Box:

Meine Fingernägel sind zu lang geworden
Herzensbrecher, von Höllenhunden gehetzt: Eine große Werkschau würdigt den englischen Bluesgitarristen Peter Green

Im spaßorientierten Pop galt er als Spielverderber, für ruppigen Rock 'n' Roll war er zu introvertiert, Blues-Puristen sahen in ihm einen psychedelisch verwirrten Verräter: Der zweiundsechzigjährige Peter Green hat es sich nie leicht gemacht, eine stabile musikalische Identität zu gewinnen. ...

The journalist (Peter Kemper) mentions that there are rumours that once there will be a comeback of Peter Green. Kemper doesn't know that Green played in Hamburg this week and did some gigs the days before.

Kemper tells that the quality of the recordings is so great, that for the first time it is possible to hear each of the three guitars (Green, Kirwan and Spencer) on the recordings (It seems that Jeremy Spencer is always playing along with Green and Kirwan - and that Green didn't make no overdubs on the recordings).

I believe that the review will be online tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If not - I'm going to make a scan of the newspaper, which in "Finnegans Wake" Joyce once called "the Frankofurto Siding, a Fastland payrodicule".
