Peter Green

Man of the World Peter Green

After a stint in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Peter Green formed Fleetwood Mac with the sidemen of the title, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. After a mere three albums of quintessential Brit blues, Green left to explore the darker regions of LSD culture. Though he returned to music in the '70s, and continued to record and tour sporadically into the '90s, it's been said by many that Green never really came back from those trips. The tormented musician was committed to two mental institutions in the wake of his unsettled behaviour. The mid-90's saw a return to the recording studio, the formation of his popular Splinter Group, and a new passion for art and photography. Despite his personal traumas Peter Green is still known to this day for having perhaps the most sweet and supple tone of any blues guitarist, British or otherwise. This documentary charts his rollercoaster life and career, with rare archive footage and stills of live and studio performances, plus indepth interviews with the man himself and his former bandmates John McVie, Mick Fleetwood and Jeremy Spencer.
