Topic: Peter Green performances that will give you the "cold sweats"

When I first heard of Peter Green in the late 70's I read that BB King said he was the only living guitarist that could give him the cold sweats!  I've heard all the old Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac studio albums and have always been impressed with his playing, but never quite got the cold sweat reaction BB was talking about. But I've always taken BB's word for it, and figured I've just never heard the right recordings.  Well, I was right.  Many of you have probably already heard these performances, and will think where's this guy been, but for those of you who haven't, go to YouTube and look up these three songs:  I've got a mind to give up living, Worried Dream, and Jumping at Shadows.  Get ready for the cold sweats!  The tone, passion and touch of these recordings is off the chain.  Also Green had the voice to go with the guitar skill.  Also while your at it look up the John Mayall/Peter Green live version of "The Stumble".  The recording quality is not too good, but the performance is out of this world.
