A music video for Kirk and the women of Star Trek to the music of Fleetwood Mac. Peter Green died at the age of 71, peacefully in his sleep. R.I.P.
Fleetwood Mac co-founder Peter Green dies aged 73: Singer-songwriter and guitarist behind one of band’s all-time classics Albatross passes away ‘peacefully in his sleep’, reveal family
A statement from solicitors revealed that Peter Green has died in his sleep
The influential blues rock guitarist formed Fleetwood Mac in 1967
Green left Fleetwood Mac after a final performance in 1970 as he struggled with mental health difficulties and drug abuse issues
He was part of the early lineup, a blues-rock band with a sound completely different from that of the later, more commercially successful lineup that featured Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie. I liked both incarnations of the band.

Man of the World no longer man of the World.
RIP, Peter Green!
Peter Green was great. He didn’t get a lot of recognition but he really was. I was lucky enough to see Fleetwood Mac in a small venue when Peter was still with them. Great show. They did a killer version of Oh Well that led into Albatross that I still remember like it was yesterday.
What a memory to have!
“The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Prong Crown)”
Now, when the day goes to sleep
And the full moon looks
The night is so black that the darkness cooks
Don’t you come creepin’ around
Makin’ me do things I don’t wanna do
Can’t believe that you need my love so bad
Come sneakin’ around tryin’ to drive me mad
Bustin’ in on my dreams
Makin’ me see things I don’t wanna see
‘Cause you’re da Green Manalishi
With the two prong crown
All my tryin’ is up all your bringin’ is down
Just takin’ my love then slippin’ away
Leavin’ me here just tryin’ to keep from followin’ you
“Albatross” is a timeless piece of music. I hear cover versions by newer artists and it remains evergreen.
RIP
“What a memory to have!”
Yeah it is, now if l could only remember what l ate yesterday LOL
Do I know THAT feeling! I can put myself at a table listening to Joni Mitchell in a Chicago coffehouse. But I couldn’t remember my phone number yesterday when ordering pizza.
Sadly plagued with mental illness exacerbated by a bizarre LSD trip with German radicals Ranier Langhans and Uschi Obermaier when they were allegedly trying to talk him into doing a show for their kommune
Instead poor Peter went south bad mentally
Worlds best Jewish rock guitarists ever.....
Peter
Ranier and Uschi
Wonderful that you found these images. Thank you.

Fleetwood Mac (1968 Album) Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac
Well Then...Play On
Only recently did I discover the pre 1975 Fleetwood Mac, before Nicks and Buckingham joined the band. Glad I did, there was a lot of great music in the earlier Fleetwood Mac lineups as well.
The short lived line up of Bob Welch and Bob Weston was one of the best, maybe the best they had
Weston got booted after he and Jenny Boyd got caught bangin’ in the back, Mick Fleetwood got mad
But Weston was only equaled by Green

The Bob Welch album French Kiss was great. And I know the guy who designed the album cover.
