[QUOTE=doodyhead;1117009]They were better than the Dead in early 70 and the Allman Brothers were not really there yet. While the sentiment is right, the truth is Peter did what he felt he had to do. He did not want to be a millionaire rock star. Mick Fleetwood did. If Peter left, ultamately it enabled Mick to have "his Dream". as always "Be careful what you wish for". [QUOTE=doodyhead;1117009]

That is HIGH praise for FM. The typical deadhead loyalist of the time today (not you) would remember Peter Green's FM, but they would not admit it. They want to talk about Pigpen, and Jerry. In their memory FM with Peter Green was just a blip in the road. What makes this important is that the best the Grateful Dead ever offerred was 1970-fall 71. By 1972, the Dead went laid back/american country blues. By 1973, they were near comatose.

The recordings prove that Fleetwood Mac was the better Jam Band than the Grateful Dead by early 1970.


As for Mick Fleetwood, during the years had made tons of money, he would play old Peter Green FM to his pop star band under cocaine hangovers. Mick is holding a lot of guilt. Mick admitted that for the BBC 2007 Peter Green documentary.

Mick felt guilty for Danny Kirwan, and he found him in the early-mid 90's. He was living in a London homeless shelter with a UK government paycheck enough to buy beer.
