Hello from Italy.
I went to see Peter Green yesterday night in Milan!
About the gig: I enjoyed the variety of the repertoire. Peter seems to get back to the artists which got him into the
music when he was young, Memphis Slim, Bobby Parker, the 3 Kings, Big Bill Broonzy, Elmore James, ecc.. and he tries to play them songs
as near as he can to the their original feel.....
His playing is overall much better than in the SG and now when you go to see and hear Peter Green you really see and
hear Peter Green and not Nigel Watson trying to play like Peter Green!
I felt that his blues playing was really strong on Pretty Woman and both "Oh Well and Albatross" were great.
Also "Sitting In The Rain" was played to perfection both by Peter and Mike.
Then, after the show, thanks to Mike Dodd, my wife and myself meet Peter and talked to him for about 10 minutes!
I gave him a message from Martin and much to my surprise he KNEW who I was!!!
Mike Dodd and his wife Sara really gave me a great time, a night I will remember for the rest of my life!
Cheers,
Mario.
ps they are playing in London next month.......
