Shall I tell you about my life
They say I'm a man of the world
I've flown across every tide
And I've seen lots of pretty girls
I guess I've got everything I need
I would't ask for more
And there's no one I'd rather be
But I just wish that I'd never been born
break:
And I need a good woman
to make me feel like a good man should
I don't say I'm a good man
Oh, but I would be if I could
I could tell you about my life
And keep you amused I'm sure
About all the times I've cried
And how I don't want to be sad anymore
And how I wish I was in love

| funkyalfonso (Canada) | Posted: Jun 11, 2011 - 02:03 Poor Pete went troppo but it was Jeremy Spencer who freaked me out with "The Children of God." I heard horror stories of their exploits there while I was in Penang, Malaysia in the 70's.. Really evil. | |||||

| mike_chouinard | Posted: May 10, 2011 - 11:14 I'm glad RP routinely plays the old Fleetwood Mac. Green's a great singer and guitarist, and the band managed to avoid the bombast of their 60s English contemporaries (i.e. Cream). | |||||

He certainly had the respect of a certain Riley King. While the graffiti read, Clapton is God, EC himself was envious of Peter's skill as a guitarist. I've always loved this track (hence my rating). And as much as I enjoy Then Play On in its entirety (a real departure from anything they had recorded as yet another English blues band), it's clear that in listening to this forty years later that Peter in the midst of that long downward decline into depression fueled by substance abuse. Reminiscent of what happened to (Pink Floyd founder) Syd Barrett, the group of German fans Peter fell in with certainly didn't help him, that's for sure. Sadly, I've heard some of Peter's comeback material (The Splinter Group, et al.) and am not impressed. His was a talent to be reckoned with that was ultimately squandered. | |||||

| stkman (Texas) | Posted: Mar 11, 2009 - 02:53 Very refreshing to see people that weren't exposed to early "mac's" responses. You like blues,Peter Green was all over it. If ya weren't a blues fanatic then some of the earliest stuff was too bluesy for some at the time. I wouldn't trade my early Mac vinyl collection for anything and think the post Green Kilnwood House is a great record. When the Buckingham Nicks era was on I kept telling people there was a band before that one and would drag out the vinyl and watch them go you got to be kidding. The B&N Rumors era had some real good music and Micks driving drums but the early stuff is great. | |||||

This is one of the things I love best about Radio Paradise! You're in for a treat, because there's 3 prior eras of Mac for you to enjoy, and I think all 3 incarnations of the band lineup/sound were terrific: the early bluesy Mac with Green and Jeremy Spencer, the pretty, mellow soundscapes of the Danny Kirwan era (Future Games, Bare Trees) and the creative pop of the Bob Welsh/Christine McVie songwriting era (Hypnotized, Heroes are hard to find). Of course some of those lineups overlapped a bit, but each of the 3 had a distinctive different sound to the band. All great stuff, you really can't go wrong with any of the albums these lineups produced though some are stronger than others or may be more to your liking than others, they are all musically delicious. | |||||

Right on!! True English blues As good as Stevie and Lindsey made the "new Fleetwood Mac", I just love the sound of Christine and the old old like 60's old Fleetwood; a totally different beast. Thanks Bill for digging it up and PLEASE PLAY MORE!! | |||||

| apd (Toronto, On) | Posted: Sep 22, 2007 - 09:41 I haven't heard of this cd but it sounds excellent. I've been looking for a good PG collection to replace my old vinyl - any other Green fans who have heard it and could give a recommendation? |
