Green’s playing not only evolved very quickly during his time with The Bluesbreakers, it continued to evolve up until his first retreat from playing in 1971. Few have undergone such dramatic changes in style in such a compressed period of time, and the shame is that the officially released recordings only gave the public a glimpse of what he was capable of. It is the wealth of bootleg live recordings, including these, that provide us with a larger view, though still incomplete, of his metamorphosis.
Do you have the “John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers – Live in 1967” set? Can you confirm any of the other dates?
