The band isn’t playing good enough, - specially Mike Dodd can’t sing. They ruined most of the songs (No word about it, they played just 4 gigs together before).”


But there are some pics which are interesting:

The reviewer may have a point. Thanks to the kind efforts of Wouter for recording a show, and then placing it on mediafire, I find Green's backing band are no better than your average run-0f-the-mill club band in Anywhere USA/UK/Continental Europe.

The "Albatross" performance is stunning because Peter Green was playing his song again the way it should be played. The songs where Peter isn't featured are just average at best to me.

Seriously take a step back, and compare this band to the Mick Fleetwood Blues band (several clips on Youtube for comparison purposes). That's where Peter belongs, but I know the hype that would create as well which is why it would never happen.

I'm glad Green is back, and one shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but he deserves better support.
