DavidMn · #1 08-22-2005, 11:06 AM

I must admit, I'm not as big a fan of this era as post 1975, but here's my favorite one

Oh Well. The lyrics are so powerful to this song, it'sf ar and away my favorite song he's ever done. I'd love other suggestions. Man Of The World, Love That Burns, and Albatross are also right up there for me

You know, I'm really sorry they stopped doing that ons live. I thought it was a great connection to the bands past. what do you think?

There's only one reason they stopped playing it...Lindsey. He just has no respect for the band prior to his involvement. A scourge on the band. I was SO glad he left...I was SO disappointed he returned.

Are you inside my head again?!

I love all those songs, although I think my favorite might be I Loved Another Woman.

Thanks to Rick Vito for ressurecting that one! I think it would've stayed in obscurity if he hadn't lobbied for its inclusion on the 1987/88 & 1990 tours.

Ya know...even though "Oh Well" is my all-time favorite FLEETWOOD MAC song, there's really not a tune Peter Green's done with the Mac that I don't like. In fact, after "Oh Well", it is difficult to even name what would be #2...I think its about a 25 (or more)-way tie for second.

ok, ok, ok...get the gun away from my head...here's an "as of this very moment" Top 10 list:

1) (duh) OH WELL
2) I Loved Another Woman
3) Watch Out (the "Blues Jam @ Chess" version)
4) Albatross
5) Rattlesnake Shake
6) Stop Messin' Round
7) Black Magic Woman
8 ) Green Manalishi
9) Love That Burns
10) Before The Beginning

Well, we do share the same brain, remember?

By the way, I actually prefer Rick Vito's live versions of "I Loved Another Woman" over Peter Green's original album version.

Oh Well and Need Your Love So Bad.

The first is being used in a Lays Chips commercial over here, and the latter was used on an episode of Sopranos that I saw recently.

Richard B · #11 08-22-2005, 08:26 PM

Man Of The World
Need Your Love So Bad
Sandy Mary

Alan Olson · #12 08-22-2005, 11:45 PM

No special order:

Show Biz Blues / Do You Give A Damn For Me
Blues In B flat Minor / Before The Begining
Preachin' Blues
1st Train Home
If I Loved Another Woman
Oh Well
Love That Burns
Black Magic Woman
Green Manalishi
Rattlesnake Shake
Albatross

I think I'll stop here, I could go on but it's late....

Which Sopranos episode?! How cool!!! I've seen them all and I don't recall ever hearing that song....

and how weird that they are using Oh Well for a Lays commercial!

Does anyone love "Underway" as much as I do? Or am I just mistaken in thinking that was his song? Whatever the case, it's one of my all-time favorite FM songs of any era.

Also, I love

"Show-Biz Blues"
"Albatross"
"Need Your Love So Bad"
"Black Magic Woman"
and "Oh Well," of course.

"Underway" is one of my favorites as well, but it is since it was extracted from a studio jam (the entire jam is on Vaudeville Years), I don't know that it qualifies as one of Peter's songs.

What really does qualify as one of his songs? People have listed several ("Need Your Love So Bad", "Jumping At Shadows") that he didn't write. My favorite examples of Peter's live work are mostly songs he didn't write, but turned in absolutely stunning performances ("Jumping At Shadows", "Worried Dream", "Got A Mind To Give Up Living"). And several of his songs that the band recorded in the studio are done significantly better, IMHO, on live or BBC session recordings ("Love That Burns", "Lazy Poker Blues", "Rattlesnake Shake", “The World Keep On Turning”, as well as "Need Your Love So Bad").

My favorites of the studio versions of Peter's songs:
Oh Well
The Green Manalishi
Albatross
Man Of The World
I Loved Another Woman
Before The Beginning

Tough to say which is my absolute favorite of these, it can vary from week to week. The powerful lyrics and two-part song structure of "Oh Well" are brilliant (can anyone imagine that Clapton would have conceived of the 2-part arrangement of "Layla" had it not been for "Oh Well"?). And the guitar work at the end of "The Green Manalishi" is so intense it's downright scary. Those two tend to be my favorites of this bunch.
