Al Stewart with the title track of his '78 Time Passages and my theme for Fleetwood Mac (post-Green).

Time Passages

It was late in December, the sky turned to snow
All round the day was going down slow
Night like a river beginning to flow
I felt the beat of my mind go
Drifting into time passages
Years go falling in the fading light
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight
Well I'm not the kind to live in the past
The years run too short and the days too fast
The things you lean on are the things that don't last
Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these
Time passages
There's something back here that you left behind
Oh time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting to turn
Don't know why you should feel
That there's something to learn
It's just a game that you play

Well the picture is changing
Now you're part of a crowd
They're laughing at something
And the music's loud
A girl comes towards you
You once used to know
You reach out your hand
But you're all alone, in those
Time passages
I know you're in there, you're just out of sight
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Those were 3 fantastic discs of their show dates at the Boston Tea Party.  If heaven is perfection and you can have anything you want then when I'm dead and gone I'm coming back to see those shows live.  That's assuming St. Peter lets me in, of course, which may be a huge assumption.  Otherwise I'll have to take it up with Ol' Scratch.  Maybe if I promise to be devilish and smoke a lot of evil weed at the shows he'll be allowing.  

One of my favourites is Jenny, Jenny .  It absolutely rocks but the best part is Peter Green's oh so sweet soft guitar pickin', especially around the 5:00 mark.

Another underrated artist.

Here's a nice live version of Polk Salad Annie performed at Royal Albert Hall, London on 27/28 Sept. '71.  Off of the 2010 release That On The Road Look "Live."

Thank God John got off the smack. many others didn't.

Mike Patto was born on this day. Always liked this jolly number though it's another appalling album cover.

David Coverdale was born on this day too.

Gritty singing from the 'girlie' bands of the 80s.

I completely forgot about that track. I'm copying it now.

Just hear this BeeGees song. Wow, totally surprised this is them. I guess I only know some of their stuff. They sound like the Beatles in this in my opinion.

 

Great version of Sergio's version with this woman.

Everyone has their favourite guitarist and for me it's Green.  BB King said Peter had the sweetest tone he'd ever heard. "He was the only one that gave me the cold sweats."

Roy was a mesmerising masterful guitarist.  Here he is on Roy's Blues playing with the audience as he humourously steps away to casually sip on a beer whilst in the midst of performing a mean guitar solo, albeit with one hand now.  Then he proceeds to feign boredom with a sheepish grin.  55555555555  Starting at the 5:40 mark.

Live on November 15, 1976 from Austin, Texas.  Aside from Roy's Blues it includes:

2. Soul Dressing

3. Sweet Dreams

4. Hey Joe & Foxy Lady
5. The Messiah Will Come Again

Albert Collins, Lonnie Mack & Roy Buchanan on Further On Down the Road from the Carnegie Hall show on De. 5, '85.

 

For those interested in musical history here's the full concert with short interview clips of Mack, Collins, and Buchanan at the start.

Wham performed by Lonnie Mack & Stevie Ray Vaughan live at The Orpheum Theater on Beale Street, Memphis, TN, in August '86.

From an excellent Far Out article entitled, "Six times Peter Green proved he was a guitar hero:" (which I'll post in 6 parts).

6. The ‘Someday Soon Baby’ improvised intro
During a recording session with the classic blues pianist Otis Spann, you can hear him yell the following direction at Green: “I want you to start playing, I want BB King <deleted>.” Now inciting BB King style playing from anyone on a whim is a lofty demand, but Green wilfully obliges, and he does so with aplomb.

For over a minute, he rips through a maelstrom of crisp improvised blues scales. In the process, he displays two things; the unbridled joy of simply playing music and absolute inventiveness underlined by a strictly disciplined grounding.

5. ‘Man of the World’
Green wrote this song about how he achieved everything he wanted to with a set of his good old pals, but despite loving his bandmates and all the good times he was having, he still felt incomplete. In this sense, the guitar work is his own literal version of ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’. 

By his usual blistering 12-bar standards, the song is tender and mellowed, and his rare spaced-out strumming lends it a heart-wrenching sincerity. Despite the melancholy overture, the track is still equal parts an ode to his friends and good times, and his ability to reflect that in his playing is second to none.
