The audience at that sold out show witnessed something unique as an incredible list of artists joined Mick Fleetwood on stage for, as fate would have it, one of the last live concerts of 2020, until further notice. Just five months later, Peter Green sadly passed away at the age of 73, bringing poignant new meaning to the well-timed salute.

Mick Fleetwood & Friends Celebrate The Music Of Peter Green And The Early Years Of Fleetwood Mac has been previewed with a raucous version of Green’s epic, “The Green Manalishi (With The Two Pronged Crown)” recorded live on the night with ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons and Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, who performed the iconic song on Peter Green’s legendary 1959 Les Paul guitar.
