The Peter Green Story

[bigG]

Yeah these drugs....maybe you wanna re-read my thread about when I met Peter Green. It was a not of this earth meeting.

Jimi, just read your Peter Green story and your Fender employment story from the link you posted to that earlier thread.

Man, both are really great stories and you tell them well! My hat's off to you, my friend. You've experienced an awful lot of the wonderful world of music life. I had no idea, being such a relatively new fretter.

I relate some stories of my musical past in threads that seem to bring a particular story to mind. I sure would like to hear alot more of your stories. I'm sure you have many! Please share them w us as pertinent threads come up, or just start a new thread abt your stories!

I love telling, and hearing, stories like this. Yours are probably in a whole other league than mine, from what I've read re Peter and Fender...and the hint at Noel Redding (remember Fat Matress?).

Anyway, please relate as many stories as you can when you feel like it. I look forward to hearing them!

Wow, cool! Really looking forward to being able to sit down and watch that all the way through. I've loved Green's work since he replaced EC in Mayall's Bluesbreakers back around '67 or so, and of course with the original Fleetwood Mac lineup. Thanks for posting the link, Spuds. : :

Just a personal opinion:
I like Clapton's work slightly better for the Bluesbrakers. The Clapton BB album is breathtaking. I listen to it over and over again. A true masterpiece. Green was a great "replacement" but for me Green started to shine when he founded Fleetwood Mac. The three albums he recorded with FM bear so much incredible songwriting. The poeple that are suspected to be responsible for the toxic drink that kicked Green forever out of his life and he never really recoverd were Uschi Obermayer and Rainer Langhans who had a famous hippie commune. Uschi was one of Germany's most beautiful woman and she surely attracted Peter's attention so that he stayed at her house. In the documentary they tell no names, but it was her - I know - for sure.

Uschi Obermaier:
