Loved his band when I was young.
Sadly never saw them.
My favourite was The Green Manalishi.
A very poignant song about his own demon, hence 'Green'
This was one instance where a songwriter describes his own slide into insanity.
Man of the World, Oh Well, Albatross all very fine songs which I loved the sound of.
Those Les Paul guitars sure can sound great.
Little known fact, The Beatles copied the sound and flavour of Albatross on their song Sun King. John wrote it and always referenced it as the Fleetwood Mac song.

RIP Peter.

Some fine harmony guitar there!

He'll be missed.

He was an incredible musician. There is a Rhino documentary of the original Fleetwood Mac, with wonderful footage. icon_king

I'm in the huge minority, but I never cared for Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac.
