And that is what makes him so great in my book (he rarely used pedals, for instance; he went right straight into his guitar amp, using the volume knob on his Les Paul to crank it up when he wanted to get nasty). The End of the Game would be an entirely instrumental affair, quite different in feel from Green’s work with Fleetwood Mac. This new and expanded Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered from the original Reprise master tapes, features four bonus tracks (drawn from the two non-album singles) which appear on CD for the first time. There seems to be a direct connection between his heart, head, his fingers, and a Higher Power, I cannot really describe this any other way.

The End Of The Game Released 1970 on Reprise The Seth Man, December 2003ce Within a month after finishing “The Green Manalishi” -- Peter Green’s swansong as guiding creative force behind the earliest version of Fleetwood Mac -- he departed the group to record with a rhythm section. “That’s Then Play On!”. In fact, there's no coherent vision at all on this record.
As far as great musicians go, he remains today in a class by himself, both for his guitar playing and his unusual, melancholic, very personal songwriting.
Listen to Bottoms Up and Burnt Foot and you'll hear it's trip hop like sound. I always loved the heavy wah- wah licks on "Bottoms up" and the whole thing is in the mood of early Mac's jams. 6 tracks (35:17). Fleetwood Mac-“Albatross”, live on German TV (ignore the birds): His influences on here? Is it worth buying?
It's drivel, from an immensely talented guitarist. You remain an inspiration to the world for all time—and you remain an inspiration to me for whatever time I’ve got left.
I’ve written extensively about Then Play On before, so will cut to the chase here; suffice to say, as a young Jewish guitar player very cognizant of my Jewish roots, the nakedly devotional and spiritual sentiments expressed in the lyrics and the music of many songs on this album touched me to the core when I first heard it.
