Man
Of the World - The Peter Green Story
coming
to home video on November 18th
The
incredible story of the man who formed Fleetwood Mac
|
|
After
replacing the legendary Eric
Clapton in John
Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Peter went on to form Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, one
of the most successful bands to come out of Britain in the 60's. Peter's
genius on the guitar was matched by the songs he wrote including Black Magic Woman, later
a huge debut hit for Santana, and the supernatural and sublime instrumental Albatross, as well as
the classic Oh Well.
The
film traces that early success, explores Peter's drug use and his eternal
spiral into schizophrenia. The film also examines how the treatment he
received (Electroconvulsive therapy or ECT) prolonged his illness and
extended absence from the music scene.
The
story continues with Peter's fragile mental and artistic recovery, his return
to the recording studio and live music scene in the mid 1990's that saw his
most positive creative output for many years. It portrays an artist who has
now come to express his feelings, not just through the guitar music he still
loves, but also his art and photography.
The
film contains extensive and rare archive footage of live and studio
performances, stills and original in-depth interviews with Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Mike Vernon,
(legendary producer of the original Fleetwood Mac "Blue Horizons"
albums), Noel
Gallagher, John
Mayall, Dennis
Keane (road manager), Martin
Celmins, (Peter's official biographer), Carlos Santana, Jeremy Spencer, (the
original Fleetwood Mac guitarist) and many others who were fortunate to work
with or know this extraordinary Man
Of the World.
