Thanks,  I did not know that.  I had only heard the JP cover of it.

Another RP first for me. I'm not highly familiar with the first incarnation of Fleetwood Mac, but I'm growing to prefer it/them through tracks heard here.  Especially one as enthralling as this. Unusual and pretty awesome.

There is an astounding tribute album to Peter Green called Rattlesnake Guitar - The Music of Peter Green.  The two cuts by Rory Gallagher (Leaving Town Blues and Showbiz Blues) are phenomenal.

Right on, daddy-o. They had it going on. I was just listening to "Then Play On" - vinyl of course-  their finest album IMO.

I had always heard the old Mac - ie peter Green, like this - imagine my surprise when a few years later I bought a Mac album on a whim, and it was Heroes are Hard to Find.....different band altogether.....

Excellent song!  9

I first heard the Judas Priest version of this song in the 1980s, IIRC.  I was shocked to learn that it was originally a Fleetwood Mac song..

From Wikipedia:

"Green has explained that he wrote the song after experiencing a drug-induced dream, in which he was visited by a green dog which barked at him. He understood that the dog represented money. "It scared me because I knew the dog had been dead a long time. It was a stray and I was looking after it. But I was dead and had to fight to get back into my body, which I eventually did."

It's been said that people struggling with emotional or psychological issues, as Peter Green was, are more likely to "freak-out" on LSD (Acid), which Green apparently had been taking steadily.  Acid has a tendency to lay bare the layers of personality, so that it is easier to see inside yourself and thus into your dark side.  I find it interesting that his last name is Green and the dog was green.  I wonder if he was seeing a side of himself that he couldn't bear to look at.

...Now back to deciphering the ZOSO and Sergeant Pepper album sleeves!
 
Actually, his last name is really Greenbaum. So was he looking to apply some the mad dog's saliva on himself as a balm? And why does the end of the song suddenly, uh, peter out?

Agreed.  The Judas Priest cover rocks.  Definitely on my "ill spent youth" playlist.

To me it's just 2 different bands who share the same name.

Great stuff. PG was an ace guitarist. Shame he turned psychic. 

Quote from Wikipedia: 
He was ranked 38th in Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". His tone on the seminal song "The Super-Natural" was hailed as one of the fifty greatest of all time by Guitar Player. Green was rated as the third-best guitarist of all time in the June,1996 edition of "Mojo" magazine. 

He still performs!
