Blues Don't Change was originally available at gigs, later on the official PGSG site. And it is one of their best efforts. Note that Nigel Watson stated that he believed Peter was looking forward to Blues Don't Change 2 and was surprised that he left PGSG.
I guess I am just generally underwhelmed by the studio albums of original material. I don't feel that they progressed in terms of the material or the playing. Whereas the other records present me with much to enjoy.
I do buy the idea that PGSG became too big for Peter. He never wanted to be a star and still doesn't. He's consistently said he just wants to be like 'one of the boys in the band'....not pushed as Peter Green, the Green God, Ex-FM superstar, writer of hits, bender of strings etc.
I don't know why the friendship with Nigel apparently broke down so irrevocably...there's more than we will likely ever know. On that DVD from 2003 Peter really looks uncomfortable in the interviews, Nigel by that time was always with him when he was interviewed and did seem to be pushing him....and that's in the material which was published.
