Rest in peace to the great Pete Green.

Great guitarist, and wrote quite a few great songs too. Green Manalishi is my favourite, here's a live performance before he hit on the acid trips in Germany that fucked up his music career.
There's a great double album, Blues Jam at Chess Vol. 1 which showcases Peter Green's fantastic ability pre drug abuses.
Fleetwood Mac were a quite different band when he wasn't there, and I never liked them thereafter. I'm also surprised Peter Green himself lived so long, given his health battles which extended beyond narcotic experiments.

It is quite surprising he lasted till his mid 70's given his drug usage in the past and subsequent health problems.
I remember reading that after his complete mental breakdown he had to completely re-learn how to play guitar from the start as he had totally forgotten how to play it.
He had a troubled life and we sadly can never know just how much more work he could have produced.
