I am sure (I hope) the people he is with don't underestimate this.
In the november 2008 issue of MOJO he said: "I am a bit worried about going on stage. I always feel inadequate then......Should know more about my instrument, I should know more....I don't want any disasters. I don't want to make mistakes unless I can stop and laugh about it."
I can't help wonder what makes him do it at all?..... He is probably ambivalent about it. He wants to do it and don't want to do it at the same time.
Anyway we are all happy he bothers at all.

mm - well put! pete also said something in that article about his playing getting better and that by the time he was 200 he'd be really good. it was very funny and so very peter green.
i know its hard not to have expectations. hell when in the skies came out i was dissappointed. now its my favorite of all his records fm included. obviously i had no idea what i was thinking at that time.
peter's in much better health these days than for the 1st comeback. and i believe from what mario has told us and we've read that he is well looked after by people who care. so to be fair to peter we should have no expectations. he's playing because he wants to. got to presume he knows what he wants to do and what he's doing better than we do. zero
