I did not see it in your list but it opens up a question
The John Mayall Compilation Album "The first five Years" had a bonus disk with Peter doing "The Stumble" live and I believe "Double Trouble" or So Many Roads" I am not near the disc so it is my memory her. These live recordings were an offcial release but were if i am not mistaken from the John The Revelator tapes which were released, sort of, last year. I am sure thr first two should be in the discography but I am not sure the John The Revelator tape release is an ommision but part of the greater bootleg legasy that peter has left for us to enjoy.

Hi Vinnie,
I think the 2 live tracks must be considered part of the official discography, so they should be included. Those 2 tracks are very fiery, but kind of show how strong Clapton's influence was on Greeny at the time.

By the way, check out this amazing gig list for Peter B's:
http://thebritishsound.blogspot.com/...mily-tree.html

It gives the date and location for the three "demo" tracks that were released a few years go.

Thanks for this information Dino. How did you bump into that site???? Very informative. I also found new info about John Moorshead and Jess Roden. Sure going to explore more.

[doodyhead]

Great site for Peter bardens bands.
It just shows how much work the got just in the five months that Peter was with them. There are over 90 dates, with much more than I thought playing with Rod Stewart. As I seem to recall. Peter was not too fond of Rod Stewarts work ethic. I guess he had ample time to judge from the looks of the tour dates.

AYNSLEY DUNBAR RETALIATION - MID 1967
STONE CRAZY .......

according to Mike Vernon, that band also called Crazy Blue, recorded one more take of
"Stone Crazy" and another track, "Fly Right Baby" on which Jack Bruce also played piano....

both the track are to this day unreleased for legal reasons....

45 years later..... Legal reasons still count?? Ridiculous
A murdercase doesn't even retire that long.

Yes, some labels simply wanted to just reissue the released version of Stone Crazy and Rod threatened to sue if they did so they backed off, don't know what his problem is.

Great list, dino!

Of course, there are the Katmandu sessions, but those are often considered as a "Peter Green & Katmandu" album since Peter's contribution is throughout the entire album.

Ray Dorset has several outtakes in his archives. Some tracklists were posted on the Ray Dorset/Mungo Jerry website a couple of years ago. He planned to release a CD of outtakes, but again things got stopped for legal reasons.

most likely it was a lacklustre performance.
the version that was released was not a stellar job either. rod probably has enough bad takes out there on records he released himself

Exactly why I don't get what the difference is if this one came out as well anyways.

There's no accounting for taste, but I consider Stone Crazy among the best of Rod's recordings. I mean, anything he's done after 1973 is mostly crap.

Yes Dansven, I agree that Katmandu feels like a collaboration more than a guest spot.
It was like Kolors 2 or something.

[doodyhead]

Sorry dino,
I was an early fan of rod stewart. i loved Truth and Beck Ola. you are right about taste being so subjective. I sort of liked the Faces albums but it was not The Jeff Beck Group by a long shot. Stone Crazy, in my opinion could have been done better, after a few more takes or worked out on the road, like how "Show Biz Blues" got better . But , I guess , they did not have the luxury of time as Peter left the group. He did not prticularly care for Rod as a bandmate (according to his biography).
