Peter Green

Au cours des années soixante, le Royaume-Uni a connu une profonde révolution sociale. Londres, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester et Newcastle possédaient toutes leur propre scène musicale. Des musiciens de Belfast et Glasgow venaient à Londres pour prendre part à cette révolution musicale des clubs. A cette époque, le jazz traditionnel d'après-guerre et les mouvements de renouveau du folk ont constitué le terrain fertile qui a permis l'émergence d'un nouveau genre de musique blues, entièrement influencé par l'authentique black blues des Etats-Unis. Cette musique était nouvelle en ce que certains musiciens majeurs ont remodelé le blues américain d'une manière complètement personnelle pour l'adapter à l'éveil de la conscience du Royaume-Uni lors des sixties. Red, white and blues examine les circonstances de cette période de mutation.

Filmed as part of the 2003 tour, Peter Green is captured in full flight on guitar, harmonica and vocals, backed by The Splinter Group. The two-hour plus show is split into two sets: acoustic and electric.

Legendary blues guitarist BB King named Peter Green as one of the greatest exponents of the blues, and the 'only guitar player to make me sweat'. If Green had only written Black Magic Woman, his name would still have a place in blues rock history forever. His three short years leading Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac saw the band established as one of the biggest-selling groups of the 1960s. Yet at the height of their fame Green left the group, with his life spiralling into turmoil as drug-induced mental health issues took control. Rumours of his demise began to spread, and sightings of him became notorious. After years battling his mental illness, Green wrote and recorded again. Featuring archive performances and interviews with Carlos Santana, Noel Gallagher, founding members of Fleetwood Mac and Green himself, this film tells the story of one of blues rock's living legends.

This rare Fleetwood Mac documentary provides an intimate look at the original band as led by Peter Green, during the 1960s British blues boom.
