A sad sad day, the passing of a legend. RIP Peter.
You leave me with wonderful memories & these will always be with me as I listen to your music.

I just saw this on the Hoffman forums and it’s up on the BBC too.

It’s very sad news - he was such an extraordinary talent - as guitarist, singer and songwriter.

How very sad … “Oh Well”.

R.I.P. Peter, a true original.

I saw him a number of years back with the Splinter Group. There was a second guitar playing parts of the songs, but surprisingly Peter still played the trickier parts, e.g. the turnaround in The Stumble. A sad loss.

Mike-B · July 25, 2020, 4:57pm

The guitarist that played with Peter over the Splinter Group years was Nigel Watson.

Clive · July 25, 2020, 4:58pm

Thanks, Mike. I was too lazy to look it up.

Huge loss one of the greatest guitarists ever. Others of lesser talent better known. He was so influential on many fronts.

One of the great three British players of the 60’s and 70’s perhaps the very best.

Hmack · July 25, 2020, 5:08pm

One of my 2 or 3 all time favourite guitarists.

Such a tragedy that we lost so many potentially great years following his departure from Fleetwood Mac, but still one of the all-time greats.

I shall be giving this a spin later.

“One of the few genuine artistic peaks of whiteboy blues, not only demonstrating a fluent mastery of the music’s stylistic devices, but startling penetration of its emotional core. Performances… that aren’t simply ‘white blues,’ but blues blues of a high order; that weary, wracked voice and piercingly sweet guitar tone honour any bluesman of any race, place or time.”
