peter green in Cork
Sorry for delay in replying. The Dylan song was Absolutely Sweet Marie, Mike did take lead vocals, Peter played solo and joined in the chorus as did many of the audience. It would be misleading to say these are Peter Green solo concerts as there is very much a group ethic in evidence and Peter seems very settled in that context, taking all guitar solos and 90% of vocals. There were many there recording snippets with mobile phones and I did see one guy with a small video camera but I doubt there were any "official" recordings made. There are two clips from the gig on You Tube, taken I presume on a mobile phone, but the sound quality is poor, I promise it sounded much better in reality. Mike Dodd did almost all the intros and kept things moving along with very short breaks between songs. For the softhearted there was a nice moment at the end, after the encore, they walked off at the back of the stage, Peter turned around to the audience and gave a cheery wave as you would to an old friend and got a great response from many of us elderly fans who hope to see the band again soon.
Thank you Wouter, for the date of the Savoy concert, my main memory is of the comedy act Mick Fleetwood and Jeremy did, and our youthful hopes to see Christine Perfect. How i would love to have a recording of that night.
