Indeed, many have come to the end of the conveyor belt of life.

Gave us all so very much. :|

Hadn't heard the news until you posted Neil - very sad.

I saw Peter Green live many times in his heyday with the original Fleetwood Mac - a brilliant guitarist.

I also saw him a few times after his 're-emergence' - with the Peter Green Splinter Group but sadly he was a mere shadow of his former self & obviously still suffering with mental health problems.

Unfortunately too, the main guitar solos that he was famous for - including 'Man of the World' featured in your video clip - were performed by other guitarists in his band ...

Agreed he was a shadow of his former self but I still like that version and he wrote it :)

Does the Orchid Ballroom still exist? Is it the Karting place on there or next to it?

The Orchid ceased to exist a long time ago - it changed its name several times over the years (at one point being called 'Cinderella's' I seem to remember) & the last time I went past it was a Gym ...

Lovely Martin, made when I was. Sadly the player, Todd, is leaving GOTD.

Oh my, I wish I had this skill base, just pure fun on guitars. I should have tried harder when I was 17....
Skip to around 8 minute mark to miss the tech and the good wishes to departing Tod:
