Close my eyes and TRY to forget my daily grind, my overwhelming responsibilities, my inner demons and my lifes choices........Im sailing in the South Pacific on a majestic catamaran with a calm sea and beautiful sunset. Thats where this masterpiece takes me, if only for a moment.

Music genius known as Peter Green! I first heard this beautiful instrumental when I was 13 years old in 1969, still listen to it now in 2023. His music will live on forever. ♥ RIP

I'm 70 years old ,been listening to this " MASTERPIECE " from the very beginning & NEVER EVER TIER of it. Over& over & ............💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🌴🌺

Wow, im 65 and considered myself very knowledgeable on music. Tonight March 27 2024 is the first time I've ever heard this. Mind-blowing. Ive literally collected thousands of albums, been to hundreds of concerts, played un a dozen bands. How is it possible i missed this beautiful song? I heard it on Mindhunter show. I thought it was the Climax Blues Band so i looked it up. The music from the 60s 70s 80s will never be repeated. I think that's why the world is so messed up today. 75% of today's music has no soul or love involved in it. Peter Green was a genius.

Played this at my husband's funeral showing photos of our life together still cry lisning to it

Will we ever hear this kind of talent ever again in the music industry? Big ask. Glad I'm 58 and not 18✌️☮️🌠🌌👍😁🌍

I used to be a bus driver and when I got stressed out by customers, idiot drivers and awful traffic I'd play this song in my head and it would get me through my shift. RIP Peter. Youre sadly missed. ❤

If only life could be as beautiful as this piece of music. Music made by angels.❤

When i heard this song I was in London Walthamstow East London iam 81years old Love this Song i was about 30years Old when I first heard this Absolutely fantastic ❤❤❤

The music of a gentler time in humanity. Surreal... It's like a friggin' dream sequence listening to this song. There are so many beautiful pieces out there, but some just have something special flitting about in them. THIS is one of those songs.

i got married to this, played while she was walking down the isle.

It's been a while since dad died, and I listened to this every morning during the last month when I stayed with him. It calms me

Iv told my family this tune is when I leave this earth play it loud 😊

This is such a beautiful piece of music. Put on your headphones, lie back in the dark, and let your imagination carry you where it will!

Such a magical melody. It makes me so mystically moody just like the first time I ever heard it. After travelling all night on foot I crossed an unmarked border into Holland and fell asleep in the woods. In the morning I woke up in a strange new country with a feeling so untethered and strange - yet so fully transcendent...like careening across an ocean on a wind drift. Then I walked into a nearby cafe and I heard this song on the juke box.

At 73 this was the best and first single that I ever purchased, thanks Peter for the fantastic memory and this beautiful music.

I first heard this in 1970 when I was 18. It has stood the test of time better than many pieces from that time.

I close my eyes and listen to this timeless masterpiece much as I have since the early 70s. How blessed I've been to live through those musical times.

Rest in love Greeny. Fly your albatross to heaven.

I was so lucky to see them play this ethereal masterpiece. It opened a door to a new place in music. Then they would follow with Rattlesnake Shake! What a great band! RIP.

Got hooked on this beautiful theme in 1970 still love it and listening in 2022.

I listen to this all the time down by the ocean...my peaceful place! Thank you Peter Green. Rest in peace!

I remember in 1976 I was 6-7 sat on the floor playing with mums records oops 😬 anyway I put this on an i was mesmerized..even today when I need to be somewhere else I put this on, aaaah pure bliss. I’m remembering me on floor an mum doing the ironing, good times.. b safe everyone 😊

I'm leaving this world to this beautiful music playing ❤ flying like the Albatross away in the clouds... R.i.p. Peter ❤

The World needs this kind of healing power today in 2023 as the Planet shifts off its Axis. Make Love, Not War.

It captures the essense of a majestic drifting on air currents over the vast and featureless ocean, feeling safety and vastness at the same time.

Best piece of music in the world ever

I remember hearing so many songs on the radio that the announcer would just say “That’s Fleetwood Mac” and no more except to praise the music.

One of the finest pieces of music. Perfect for just laying down on a sunny beach. Brilliant 👏

Could listen to this song everyday.

We saw the man himself do this one, many years ago and we will never forget one of the best guitarists and song writers ever....

Would there have been a Fleetwood Mac without Peter Green? 😎✌❤🎶

Heard this in the late 60's, it is my favourite piece of music - my mother's and my late partner's too; he played it at my mother's funeral, and it was played at his. It resonates somewhere deep in my soul, I love playing it on a continuous loop. Magical.

J'ai entendu cette merveilleuse musique pour la première fois dans les années 60 sur Radio luxemburg que j'arrivais à capter au fin fond de la Bretagne. On ne l'entendait pas sur les radios françaises et j'ai racheté le disque à une amie qui se l'était procuré outre Manche. Quel bonheur d'écouter cette musique d'une beauté surnaturelle, une musique qui me fait pleurer et me fait percevoir l'existence d'un merveilleux infini....quelque part là-bas ... là-bas . Comme la musique grégorienne. Une musique qui séduit toutes les générations et que mon grand-père, mélomane, avait tout de suite adoptée en 1972.

Peter gave us a beautiful gift when he wrote and played Albatross. The music lives in my head and in my heart.

Rest in peace Peter 🙏🎸🎵🔝

The most beautiful song ever createt , Peter Green we miss you 💚💚💚RIP

Iam 81years old i have been a fan of this band Forever i like this video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I can recalling hearing this tune for the first time back in 1968 when I was a young, impressionable guitarist who thought Peter Greene was one of the best guitarists of the current era. Albatross got scant airplay on the US charts however. Why, I haven't a clue, because it is a beautiful piece of music. Mastery in simplicity -- a very difficult goal to achieve.

The musical equivalent of the best joint you ever had...........just float away to paradise ✌️

I have my hands wrapped around my wife dancing slowly in the living room while the kids sleep away

I was buried to this. Still can 'close' my eyes and think what a masterpiece it is.

I can't believe this piece of musical excellence only charted at no. 104 in the U. S., what's wrong with you? 😉

1st time (68 or 69)I heard this & Oh Well made me stop & listen..... back in the late 60's this was good stuff & now here in 2020 it's still good stuff......

I had this album . I always played The vinyl during early morning hours to slow down after a long colorful party.

Turn down the lights , light a few candles , glass of wine and let your mind and the music take away your stress . Chill out in the best way. Instrumental music best way to relax.

Tripping with Army Buddies in Frankfurt in 70...to this, oh Well.. Rest in Peace old fellas...True friendships ...

Oh... So beautiful. I heard it a lot during childhood, and I found it very soothing. And now the piece has new meaning to me. A couple of days ago, I was sitting next to someone who's very special to me. We are in the process of getting to know one another, having a good time, laugh and cry together, having wonderful conversations, flirting, warning each other about our own flaws... And then the band started to play Albatross. Just as I thought, oh I would like to hold him, he lay his head on my shoulder, then we held each other tight in a most tender way, just... BEING. The world stood still for a couple of minutes as if our artist souls were being carried by the wind that carried the Albatross...😍

It's been one of my all time favorite songs ever since someone gave me the LP in the 60s. And Fleetwood Mac then became one of my all time favorite groups, to this day...before, during, and after Nicks and Buckingham, including everyone's solo and regrouping performances.

After so many years some less intelligent still name Fleetwood as the composer. There is a difference from the band who performed it and the genius of Peter Green

Reminds me of days at the cafe the Swiss chalet,we played this endlessly

my father asked me about who was this song waback in late 1968 = i remember that first every time i hear this song ! and i told who = fleetwood mac - albatross .

Once, long ago, 40-50 years ago, in the American US Southwest, hundreds or maybe thousands of miles from the oceans (Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of California/Sea of Cortez), I witnessed an albatross fly over from east to west.

THIS HEADY DELIRIUM TAKES ME BACK IN A TREASURED TIME CAPSULE .. PETER GREENE .. GUITARIST EXTRAORDINAIRE .. A TIME OF THE SWEET INNOCENCE OF BEING HUNGARY AND OH SO NAIVE AT HEART .. ALWAYS MUSIC IS THE FOOD OF LOVE .. B .. XOXO ❤

Fleetwood Mac great. But how much greater would they have been with Peter? We'll never know!! Still loving the sounds of the past,

so beautiful

Got played a lot in Beijing on EZ FM in the 90s. Beautiful piece!

It sings to my soul and I gave it to my dear heart friend Leif🌹 in his funeral.... it was a beautiful farvel 💖

I walked onto a beach in cairns and was awash with shade but a few feet away the water was immersed in full sunlight i had thisbplaying through my headphones! It was a surreal experience as i never had been to a beach with those conditions! ❤❤❤❤

Everytime it`s too hot like today, I play this. On repeat.

Absolutely awesome music

Still listening 2-4-20 -23 .takes ne back to a better time and a better world. 😊

first time I have ever heard this, now I see why Fleetwood is a so famous, you can hear the talent

zum träumen, zum relaxen, zum entspannen - einfach nur wunderbar !

Si je devais retenir un seul titre de Fleetwood Mac, ce serait Albatros !...

Serenely beautiful

A genius. I saw him at the Long Beach Blues Festival late last century. He was eating dinner alone at the Hyatt. I approached his table and told him he was the most amazing guitarist I had ever heard. He didn’t say anything, just stared at me.

Love this. My favorite song to play on my E guitar. Close your eyes and sail through the air over the sea .

I was 18 then and sill love it lots of good days in my life thank you Peter RIP.

I subtract myself to this world/dump by listening to this wonderful tune

My all time favourite piece of music. It sings to my soul.

I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU BOYS WE ALL MISS PETER

I don’t remember hearing Albatross on a/m radio in the USA. What a pity it didn’t chart higher than #104 over here. It’s a lovely piece of music it’s very calming & meditative.

Listening to KSAN FM 95 late at night you could count on hearing this masterpiece.

You will never get a tune like this or beat this absolutely amazing brilliant gorgeous x

YEAH BOYS YOU ARE THE BEST I CAN FEEL MY HEARTBEAT WE ALL MISS PETER

UNDERRATED ERA FOR THE BAND.

YES I CAN FEEL MY HEARTBEAT YOU BOYS ARE THE BEST WE ALL MISS PETER

BOYS YOU ARE THE BEST I CAN FEEL MY HEARTBEAT NOW I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU WE ALL MISS PETER

Il existait, à la télévision française, dans les années 70, un jeu de rébus qui utilisait Albatross comme jingle.. je regardais le jeu avec mon papa.. et je pense à lui à chaque fois que j'entends cette musique. Je n'aurais d'ailleurs jamais imaginé , à ce moment là,être un jour grand fan de Peter Green. RIP Peter !

This music is marveles like the bird 😉

Although I lived through the 1960s both here in America (East Coast) and England I had never heard this song until recently (2023). I think I've listened to it around 50 times or so. It takes me back to my high school days and my 2 friends, both dead now. I don't know why given that I'd not heard it back then. It brings great peace to me when listening to it. Only good memories surface. Thank you Fleetwood Mac wherever you are.

Incredibly relaxing

Beautiful.

This music will do...❤❤

Just sooooo beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love it memories of a normal world together..

Absolutely the best

YOU BOYS ARE THE BEST I CAN FEEL MY HEARTBEAT AND WE ALL MISS PETER

Close your eyes and you're flying over the sea... marvelous

Descansa en paz Peter Green, desde Peru, Gracias Fleetwood Mac...

I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU WE ALL MISS PETER AND YOU BOYS ARE THE BEST

Cierras los ojos y sientes la misma sensación de estar en una playa viendo esas aves maravillosas. Música maravillosa. Gracias

Très spécial, superbe musique.

I used to see Peter in Oxted surrey many years ago . He was clearly coming back into the world and The Splinter Group was formed during that time. What a legacy first heard this in 1967 maybe.

Beautiful and smooth ❤️💕💖🔊💓💘💋🌞🌞

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
