His Fleetwood Mac years were some of the best of that band. I know a lot of people will disagree as the Green vs Buckingham/Nicks are quite different. But Peter Greens insights and contribution were magnificent. His work on Albatross was stellar. Too bad he is gone.

Unfortunately another example of an enormous talent that was wasted and lost way too early due to drugs ( compacting his mental illness). Gone to the great gig in the sky.

King said Peter was the only white guitarist who made him sweat. I guess that was a compliment. ;-) I heard Peter's playing first on the second John Mayall album, A Hard Road. I liked him even more than Clapton, who had been the guitarist on the first Mayall album. "The Stumble"---a great instrumental on A Hard Road---led me to Freddie King, the song's writer and original performer. Even better yet! I wasn't able to see and hear Freddie live, but I did see Albert King, and realized where most of the white Blues guitarists had learned what to play. Albert King---talk about sweating!
