Thanks for the kind words, everybody!

Notice how he avoids bending the strings.. This was something he started in the 80s, if you listen to the live recordings from that era. (Although he went back to bending with the Splinter Group.)

I really like that .. bending strings is imo very much a habit among guitarists. So it's kind of brave of him .. especially to play BLUES with no string bending. If you try it, you'll soon realize that it's hard to avoid the habit og bending! One needs to think more...
So Peter Green the 2000s has developed a very distinct, personal style!

It is both understated, personal and evocative.

always original and of the moment

The actual stream comes from here:-

If you cut/past that into your browser you eliminate all the other stuff from the Mojo site.
Once you start playing this, you can use a screen capture tool such as this:-

I just used the trial version.. took a while to get the sound part right.

The output file ended up as 2 gig, but it worked.

I then used Prism Video Converter Software to convert the 2 gig .avi file to mpeg... its now only 220meg :-

Good luck..

Hi Everybody,
I'm glad you like the video.
We made it to promote the 4CD Anthology (which was released on Monday 27th October) as Peter wasn't available for many interviews.
There has been a tremendous amount of interest in it, as we suspected there might be.
Peter was on excellent form when we filmed him, as you can see. We didn't really know what to expect when we arrived in Canvey Island, but it was a great day and a real privilege to capture him playing so well.
All the best,
Chas
