Emerald Eyes:) I don't know why it never got more play.

Emerald Eyes:) I don't know why it never got more play.It doesn't matter any more.

My fave Welch is "Angel."

Second is "Safe Harbor."

Buddy Holly, 1958.

[madformac]

Emerald Eyes followed by Future Games. :)

[macfan 57]

"Hypnotized", then "Emerald Eyes". He was at his best on Mystery To Me, in my opinion.

[bretonbanquet]

Future Games, followed by Angel and Hypnotized :)

[aleuzzi]

Emerald Eyes, Future Games, and Miles Away. All three of these for very different reasons. He is a remarkably diverse songwriter.

The Heroes songs are good, but they sound livelier, more spirited in the live setting of the Sausalito (74) show.

[Richard B]

Bright Fire
Future Games
Lay It All Down
The Ghost
Silver Heels

Bermuda Triangle
Angel close second

Future Games!
That song is a lesson in how to write a song. It has a good verse melody,
a good "bridge" melody and a great chorus melody which lifts the whole song.

One I don't like is "Bermuda triangle"...

[DavidMn]

Emerald Eyes:) I don't know why it never got more play.That's another goodie.:thumbsup:

[DavidMn]

I'm surprised more people havent mentioned Sentimental Lady.

It's not cool to mention the obvious. :laugh:

[DavidMn]

It's not cool to mention the obvious. :laugh:Of course. You always want to pick the lesser known stuff.

[DavidMn]

It's not cool to mention the obvious. :laugh:Chili, I noticed you mentioned Revelation on your list. How do you feel about Nightwatch? I like that one too.

[chiliD]

Chili, I noticed you mentioned Revelation on your list. How do you feel about Nightwatch? I like that one too.

I can't really say that there's ANY song that Bob did with Fleetwood Mac that I don't like. Of course, I'm going to have a bit of a soft-spot for "Night Watch" since Peter Green plays on that track. :) And, it was the vehicle for Mick's African talking drum solo during the 1974 tour; which I thought was really cool.

I learned something new today!! Thank you. See, that's why I love coming to this forum!

Yeah, Hypnotized for sure. I love it. I cringe whenever I hear Linds sing it out of tune on the Largo boot.

You can hear his guitar pretty clearly - as I recall he comes in around midway through the song, but his part fades out well before the end. Very distinctive sound that could only be Peter.

Just got home and listened to the song to check where Peter's guitar parts come in. You can hear him for a few seconds starting around 1.04 into the song, then for a longer time starting about 2.04. After awhile his guitar fades a bit but it's still there, and there's a stronger section starting about 3.40 into the song. You can't hear him after the louder guitar starts in about 4.10, so I really can't tell if he's playing after that point or not.

I like "Nightwatch" as well (although "Hypnotized" is my favorite Welch song by far), and I think Peter's guitar lends an ethereal quality to it - much like a lot of his playing in the early '70s.

OUCH!! Yeah that didnt work for me either.:rolleyes:

But I have to admit, the uh, special effects for the video are really funny. :thumbsup:

Yes, I believe that's correct that he's uncredited on Nightwatch as well.

[DavidMn]

Yes, I believe that's correct that he's uncredited on Nightwatch as well.That's too bad, although he probably woldnt have gotten anything out of it even if he was except the credit itself.

[PsychCat]

Probably "Future Games" and "Sentimental Lady" with a shout out to "Hypnotized" because Mick's drumming is very cool on that song.
