I had the honor of seeing Peter Green and The Splinter Group in Chicago on August 30, 1998. It was nothing short of amazing. The opening band came out and played a bunch of instrumentals and a couple other songs to warm-up the crowd, and then the Splinter Group came out. They were great. Among many new songs, they played some older Fleetwood Mac hits such as "Black Magic Woman," "Albatross," "Green Manalishi," and "Rattlesnake Shake," and sounded great. We had extremely close seats (front row, a bit to the left of Peter), even though there wasn't a bad seat in the house, and we could see everything that was going on. Peter was very happy and cheerful for the entire show, and his playing seems to have stayed the same, brilliant way it always has been. If you are a fan of the Fleetwood Mac blues era, or even just a fan of the blues, don't miss your chance to see the show, it will blow you away.
