John Altman has written a short essay, and there's a photo of a gig at the 100Club that it new to me.

hi d- wonderful find. confirms many things peter has often said about that period - that i never completely believed because of the lack of documentation etc - like that's when he played his best, played w/o mistakes and so on

great photo too

john altman is a really interesting person! a couple of years i read a wild note he'd had written about ollie halsall http://www.olliehalsall.co.uk/ollieandali.htm

Is it really a photo? It seems it could just as well be a screenshot taken from a 24mm film. You can seen the next frame at the bottom of the still.
If so........ oh my God, wouldn't it be nice (Beach Boys, lol) if it were a film and could be made public?????

Not sure whether the photos in these links have been posted here before - I saw them about a year ago - but here are three more shots from the 100 Club:

John Altman (who played with the Brunning Sunflower Blues Band) and Duster Bennett can be seen along with Peter in these photos.

Most likely it's from a contact print / contact sheet.

Yeah, that sounds plausible. Alas....

I see now that I did post those 100 Club photos last year, but not this one (which I can no longer find on the web but downloaded last year).

another great photo. thanks sf. i now remember you posting those earlier with duster and ja. and thanks for the links again

the altman essays says that the one photo was via top topham who may remember who shot it - or more about that gig and the period

Thanks a lot!
Wish there was more from this 1970-71 period.
Info, pictures, RECORDINGS..

Thanks a lot Sharksfan2000! :D
That last photo was REALLY nice!

Thanks for sharing... :thumbsup:

Thanks guys so much for story and amazing pics!
Reading the main story takes you back in time in wonderful PG world....
Long live Green God.;)

Er.. no such thing Vouter 16mm or 35mm for movies !!

However, it is intruiging ,cause ,if it is a contact print taken from the still negs ,then it's a contact STRIP rather than a contact sheet which is unusual , though possible (unless the several strips of neg were spaced very far appart on the contact paper or only one neg strip was printed onto a large contact paper -all possible ). If it was 16mm movie film B&W positive light would hve to be shone through it to get the image we see ,but then you might expect to see light coming through the sprocket holes -which you don't .So I'd go for it being a contact STRIP and there are obviously other images on that strip ..............

nice pictures
 

Thanks for posting these. I have been off the ledge for a bit

Thanks, a great find :).

This proves that Mick Fleetwood in 1970 was only after money.
 

Peter Green leaves FM at the pinnacle of their success in America with the new Boston Tea Party album. Mick Fleetwood didn't allow that album to be released in any condition until Lindsay Buckingham left FM in '85. I get around late 1969, Peter Green was still trying to be the modern Neil Young. Mick Fleetwood wanted to make money. Now Mick Fleetwood regrets those days, and speaks of how Peter Green was brilliant. Mick drove him out. Live with it, Mick.

Welcome back :D

Man, if there was just one tape of Peter's immediate post-Mac gigs.

You mean like the "End of the Game" sessions?

Those photos really speak of Peter's enjoyment in playing and jamming. When it became work with pressures and schedules it took away from that and he wanted to get it back.

Ollie Halsall was a great player too in Timebox and (minus one member) Patto! I think there was an excellent article on the group(s) in a Shindig, Flashback or Ugly Things not too long ago. I want to hear everything Timebox/Patto or Rutles!

hi b - go here for all things ollie + links and info for all patto/timebox. z

No, I mean the gigs he did with Nick Buck or one of the benefit gigs.
