I think Peter Green had the best feel of all the sixties British blues players.

John and Mick in the zone. If anyone ever doubts mick's ability, play them this. Peter, Danny, Jeremy, John, and Mick, the original and best Fleetwood Mac.

Celebrating Peter Green's music and his life tonight

Peter and Danny, the greatest guitar duo in r&r and blues history, whatever they played together is a masterpiece, they are not underrated, we, the real blues lovers, put them at the highest rank, Peter is from another planet i guess

The Entire Band is FIRING on ALL CYLINDERS - Great Recording - Raw and Clear - a Real Treasure.

Danny Kirwan was F*cking brilliant and he and peter together one of the greatest ever

I 've listened to all the best guitar players in my 70 years.....this is the absolute BEST....The 'real' FM, is Peter Green, and his mates. Awesome work here!

The guitaring speaks for itself. The key is Mick Fleetwood, who sets a pace that brings out the best in his mates. What makes this such a monster is the drumming. This was the best period of Fleetwood Mac, the best of blues-rock.

Travelling on US Interstates, I frequently revisit this masterpiece when I want to experience a head bangin runaway train. Hear something different every time. What a ride!

This a perfect example of Peters fire and Dannys ice, These two guitarists were made to play together. This is beautiful to listen to.

brings back so many memories, how lucky I was to see these great musicians back in the day, when they weren't pop music! RIP Peter Green....genius

This always made me feel like I was FLYING!

Just discovered this six-year-old post and so glad to find it! Thank you! I think they might have played this to open their set at a little dance hall called the Sound Factory in Sacramento in 1968 or 69. Can't be sure because memory fails on details. I think it was their first USA tour, or at least to California. They looked so young...around my age at the time (19) after a year in the Air Force and just before going to southeast Asia. I was surprised how informal they were and wearing jeans, t-shirts and sneakers. The first thing Peter said was something like "We're a bit nervous, do you mind if we jam a little to loosen up?" Years later after buying all their U.S. albums (up to and including Future Games) I grew to love "Searching For Madge" (edited version on Then Play On) but only more recently started to believe they might have jammed on it to start that show. Which, by the way, wasn't even a full house in a smallish venue. I had just started to learn to play guitar...didn't realize then what a treasured memory it would be! Wish I could bring up more details on my brain's hard drive...haha. But I do recall them starting slow and eventually building to this same hard charging pace and multiple guitar duels. Just got chills thinking about it. Sorry for the long ramble.

NO one could come close to playing this to day, this is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,Peter is God on guitar

RIP Peter Green. This just rocks like nothing else.

Mr Clapton, Mr Hendrix, take your seats at the back please. Unreal stuff from P.G and the band. Sonically this is absolutely staggering, rhythmically it's monstrous and the tones? Holy f**k. Doubt I'll hear a better piece of music in my life. I only found this tonight and I've been a fan for years. Bliss beyond words. ✨ ❤

What a roaring beast this band WAS. This must be just a taste of what the live shows were like.

This may be the best jam I've ever heard.

some of the best music ever recorded

this quite possibly is the best music ever recorded describing the 60's

THIS "IS" Pure Jammin !!! in the Ether. Nothing this good today.

this world needs MORE 17 minute jams!! this is a fantastic performance.

Then Play On is one of the best albums from the 60's , thanks for this it's cool

I listen to this song constantly... the pinnacle of Peter Green if you ask me. It's an absolutely amazing song to drive to, I can't get enough of it!

Original Mac with Danny, tough to beat Only wish they could have gone on longer. Then play on, a true masterpiece.

RIP Peter, RIP Danny. Legends. No words needed.

Peter was the real love child of blues for the 60's. I never bought into Clapton being that dude.

ABSOLUTELY SMOKIN' HOT LICKS!!! The more I listen...the more I learn about this Kick Ass band, the deeper my appreciation grows for these dudes. WOW! Yeah, I'm late to the party but at least I caught on! Thanks for posting!!

Smoked a joint. It was good music before it. But damn this is even better 😊. Awesome

Young lads together 2years left a treasure trove of music cemented themselves as the greatest blues band to come out of G. Britain in my view

Peter Green - the best there ever was, end of 🎸🎶✌🏻️

In my opinion Peter Green and Danny kirwan are in the same league as Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Frank Zappa. And honestly they probably would say it themselves. I think most guitar players then and now respected Peter and Danny. Kind of frightened of them because they were that good. Remember Eric Clapton was blown away by Peter green. He highly rates him. I think it's amazing how they are never in the discussion of greatest guitar players of all time.

The more I listen to Peter Green the more I am so thankful my friend clued me into him about fifteen years. He was truly a remarkable musician 🤘

doesnt get a whole lot better than this ,,, Not a weak link in the band, Solid musicians ,,, a legendary band ...

Love this Jam..this later became 2 songs on Then Play On.."Searching for Madge" and "Fighting for Madge"..Then Play On..the best Mac album🎸🎶🎶

Some of the most amazing blues rock ever played, Perter was the MAN before the LSD fried his brain

A cliché, I know, but Peter, and Danny...…….mindblowing stuff!

Too Special ...There's always that special quality to be found in Peter Green's music ...never hidden , spews right out at ya, kills with his massive clear cut tone !! Danny Kirwin ...relentless !! note after note with great fervor !! they're all wonderfully seasoned musicians here !! When you want to hear & feel good music ...come back here !!

Isn't it kind of weird that in such a short time these guys have left a huge mark in music . Imagine if they were together for atleast 20 years...

this song starts out like a locomotive, slowly chugging along then picking up momentum until it's roaring down the tracks full steam ahead..... then finally slowing down at the end of a thrilling ride.

Excellent music. The best Blues Band of the 60's in my opinion.

You just can't find anything this good anymore! Magical time and place, I guess.

RIP Peter Green. Thanks for the interstellar vibes!

here I am again because I love hearing genius

To all the people, that don't get Mick's brilliance on drums: This whole thing here should show his abilities christal- clear... Creative drum work, complementing rather than only holding the groove..Musicality, groove... Shuffles, sharp and precise, than loose, what it's needed, he does it, and does it on point..

RIP Peter Green

These guys certainly could play. 'Searching for Madge' must be nearly 50 years old and the sound quality is amazing, still sounds fresh, even today.

Best rock improvisation I ever heard. If you want to learn to play drums, just study what Mick does on this cut.

This was my favorite song on the Then Play On album. This is the unedited version on steroids. Thanks so much.

This jam is simply fantastic. Danny & Peter playing off each other is a wonder to listen. Both of them were my heroes since my days in '70. They influence my style of playing. Their music will live on forever. RIP for both of them. SL

"Then Play On" was one of my treasured LPs back in '69 on. I dug the short version, but this gem is just awesome!

This is the best I ever heard!!!!!😎

ride on, Greeny; marvelous!!!!

You're right -that 24 minute "Rattlesnake Shake" is just crazy good!!

Killer stuff....nobody jams like this no more these dayz......this IS the good ol dayzzzzzzz

WTF 😳🙀that’s some laser-like playing right here. Peter and Danny are like Jedis on guitar

RIP Peter. Thank you for all the amazing and innovative music

I would love to know the person that gave this a thumbs down.....that is just pure raw open talent....

28 down thumbs came here thinkin' they were going to hear a goat sing...............you got a God of the '59 Les Paul instead

Simply stunning, and I had the joy of witnessing them at that time. An experience that has lasted my lifetime. No one ever did it as well.

Rest In Peace, good sir! You played for an adoring public that loved your every move, every bluesy lick that melted our hearts, just as these 2 pieces show. You will be sorely missed by thousands of fans and we will play your music louder and longer to resound through the skies as you play in Heaven. Sleep well when you set your guitar down one last time.

The blues phrasing is impeccable. Such great timing and vibrato on those notes.

First time I've heard this version. F#@ing sensational!

Peter Green exhibits a direct connection between his head heart his fingers and a higher power.. Peter's love for the Delta blues and the Chicago blues sound gave him a starting point to emulate the greats . On this song and the Then Play On LP Peter showed his skill by combining the American blues with a more modern rock style creating a sound that put his skill and pushed the blues into another stratosphere that set fire to his music with the fire of his desires. Peter created a sound that is still being heard today and emulated by the new boys in town . Peter was a generational talent that has not been seen since he left us in 1970-1971. RIP to The Green God

This is gold. Pure gold. It should have been a whole side of Then Play On.

WOW. I'm blown away at this recording. It brings it all back and I'm so glad I was there back then. Love Peter G.!

kudos. this is the best music from the 60's

I've been listening to the TPO version(s) of this since 1971 and the riff at 10.15 STILL makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

What a great band they were

I wish it didn't take someone's passing for me to start listening to this stuff, Peter Green was amazing, the whole band was amazing, and Mick Fleetwood must be included in my ever expanding list of top ten drummers 🎸🎸🎸

i can see the maniacal look in mick fleetwood's dinner plate sized eyes as he pours his heart out into pounding on those drums during this session.

I am blessed to have just discovered this post. I’ve listened to Then Play On ever since it was released. One of my five favorite albums of all time. But now is the first time I’m hearing the live jam. Holy Cr**‼️ What a band 👏👏👏 Everyone’s in the Zone 😎

This comes from the "Then Play On" (1969) sessions . A great extended jam. One note, the "Wee One" Jeremy Spencer did not play on the sessions for this album. So what we are hearing is a massive guitar duel between Peter Green and Danny Kirwan. This is great stuff!

Nothing as bluesy and psychedelic as the Mac with Greene and Kirwan Needless to say but the driving drumming of Fleetwood is awesome

I have been listening to this song since 1969 but never heard this version before to me it is one of the top three rock songs of all time

RIP Peter thanks for the music

When you have so much instrumental talent who needs lyrics Jam on Greenie & Danny See ya in the great gig in the sky

I just love Peter Green ... this is flipping awesome... thanks for uploading this

love the way the train pulls out of the station and charges full-steam ahead around 2:50 into this.

I feel like I'm flying when I listen to this!

These guitar tones!

R.I.P Peter Green

Epic, amazing jam. Thank you for this treasure.

What an awesome jam session. My favorite FWM cut. I wonder if there is any video of them playing this. Mick Fleetwood was just dynamic on the drums in this. You can recognize Danny Kirwan's sound on guitar. I have this on the 3 CD set Men of the World Peter Green is one of the greatest guitarists.

The only other bands I ever heard play with this much passion and virtuosity in jam sessions were Cream, Mountain, and The Allman Brothers. Pretty good company there. But early FM were in their own class. Brilliant.

it sounds better every time I listen to it. Awesome stuff

Fleetwood Mac brought a little light, wonder and humor into a period of obscurity and weariness in my life. Listening to it many years later, my sensitivity and admiration I felt for it grew. A difficult listening at first, he lends the orchestral direction of his flayed intelligence, until he draws you inevitably into his universe. Each listening reveals a little more of its mystery, its magic, this work becomes ineluctably timeless “Imperial”🌷

The band are firing on all cylinders here and thanks for the download. Peter plays with his heart, head, his fingers and a Higher Power. During the British Blues Boom of the 1960's Peter showed his superior feel, tone and understanding of playing slow enough to feel every note and yet add to the balance of the song. He did not feel it necessary to stand out as the guitar God but a member of a band, his lack of ego made for a better overall sound, each band member felt and was part of the finalized product. Even though Peter Green past on his music will comfort us. RIP Peter

"Mick, what kind of music did you play when the band first got together?" "Well, Stevie, it was quite a bit different from what you and Lindsey are used to. For one thing, we had two and sometimes three guitarists back then." "What did it sound like?" "I'll tell you what. Let me put this old tape on, and you can hear for yourself."

Ascoltate questa gemma, a distanza di più di quarant'anni era e resta un masterpiece del blues rock...semplicemente fantastici!

Man I Love Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.... Great Jam!.... Saludos desde Argentina!..

The tone of both guitars and the mix ,best ever .

Peter Greenbsum, Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer, John Mcvie and Mick Fleetwood, PHENOMENAL LINE UP, each musician an absolute GREAT!!!

Love this! I missed finding this album back in the day. It's great!

This never fails to astonish. The extraordinary freedom of Peter Green's playing in the tight structure of the piece, and of course his total control, the tone he produced in all registers. Genius.

Danny ON FIRE!!!!!

Is there anything better than this? Can’t listen to this enough. The very best!

Awesome jam! I guess Jeremy was eclipsed when Peter invited Danny into the band. Agreed about Mick's great drumming too. And John pumped some good bass. You gotta' love it.

RIP Peter Green 🎸

Although I did not get to hear this jam, I had the Golden opportunity to hear Fleetwood Mac as a warm up band, followed by the original Pink Floyd, followed by The Who in 1968 at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. I couldn't speak for a few days afterwards. Dumbfounded or as it is also said "Gobsmacked".
