Peter Greens 98 Concert
Well, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to see Peter Green, since all of my pals are away at school, which meant I'd have to drive to Cleveland alone (a 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hour drive), but I decided that I absolutely had to see Peter Green in concert. Needless to say, it was a wise decision on my part.
Anyways, after a long drive (and getting lost several times) I got to Wilberts at around 6:30. I walk in the door, look up, and see Peter Green playing harmonica. I'm totally speechless at this point. Anyways, Peter Green and Nigel Watson were having a sound check. They were playing "Travelin' Riverside Blues" with Nigel on guitar and vocals. Not knowing what to say to Peter, I went up to Nigel and said "great job." He looked at me and said "Cheers," which was SOOO cool!!!
Okay, how was the show? I was blown away. Of course, I was right up in front, with a killer view of Peter Green. The Mac/Mayall tunes that he did include Black Magic Woman, Rattlesnake Shake, Homework, The Stumble, The Supernatural, The Green Manalishi, and Albatross. There were also a lot of other great tunes. Pete's playing was mixed. Some songs were much better than others. The Supernatural and The Stumble, for example, really lost their shine, but Rattlesnake Shake, Albatross, and Green Manalishi totally rocked. All in all, though, it was a great show. I HIGHLY recommend you see this show if you can.
Now, for me, the cool part. I finally thought of what to say to Peter, and I got that opportunity after the show. I simply thanked him for introducing me to the blues (as Fleetwood Mac In Chicago was my first blues recording). He was super humble. Some might mistake it as being rude, but those of us who've read Mick's book know how Peter Green really is. Incidentally, he signed his autograph as "Peter Greenbaum."
