Jumping at shadows
The boston performance of this track in my opnion features the finest electric blues performance of all time. I have never heard a better blues guitar solo, sheer genius.
The solo to me it sounds so sophisticated for a blues, peter´s timing, dynamics, choice of notes blow me away, wes montgomery would have been proud of this! I know crossroads by clapton and whatever srv tune get plaudits but they dont come close to this. |

I couldn't agree more. But which version do you refer to? disc one or disc three? They are both amazing, but I have always been partial to disc three, it's a liitle more "in your face"... I have heard four live performances of this song, all are great, all are different, the BBC sessions is also a standout.

Disc 1, i remember i had it on vinyl years ago an album just called flletwood mac live, i was always in awe of it.
The solo almost feels like its composed it so perfect, obviously its improvised but there is no fat on it, no showboating just pure genius! |

I agree with you both as I always loved Jumping at shadows live, I suppose I'm a bit partial but to me the live performances of this song recorded at the boston tea are awesome and I prefer them to the duster bennett original. I can also say that the worst version of this song I've ever heard is the one by Gary Moore (i think it was on the after hours album). How can such a great song sound so so boring??????
But to me the best blues solo in the world is the one Pete made on the live performance of I've got a mind to give up living at the Warehouse. Every time I listen to it I get shivers down my spine and I get close to tears. It's just...mindblowing. When I listen to it i always think how come someone so young be so special, and different as Pete was. How can someone make me feel so much without saying a word. To me, it's the highest peak of Peter's magic. To me. |

the master at work
Peter was absolutely at top form in boston and both versions had their special something.
I too, though was on the floor when I heard him do "The Letter" at the Warehouse. another close second for sheer simplicity is "Before The Beginning" at the shrine auditorium "Shrine 69" doodyhead |

Debate oh yeh!
Cool i was hoping to get other peoples idea what they think is best, i Don´t have the warehouse recordings, whats the name of the disc please?
I´m dead keen to hear stuff i´ve not heard before and to have my opnion changed . And Mr doody i agree the shrine 69 before the begining is outstanding, another great disc with sublime playing. |

Greenmanastrat,
I am pretty sure that the Fleetwood Mac Live track that you mention is from one of the Boston Tea Party recordings, probably night one. I've heard that album sometime in the distant past, but when the Tea Party recordings were finally remastered and released in 1998, I was amazed at the difference in sound quality. Check out this release if you get a chance, as I said previously, both versions are stunning. As for the Warehouse recording of I've got a mind to give up living mentioned by Aida: This is my favorite Peter Green Bootleg, the other two bootlegs of this song are now on Youtube. I think one was recorded at the Filmore West in January 1969, and the other in Sweden in early 1970, supposedly just after the infamous Munich incident. I like them all, the version that was recorded in Sweden is probably the darkest of the three, but the Warehouse recording is impossible to beat. For me, it has the geatest guitar solo that I have ever heard in any genre. Evan |
