Probably the greatest ever Heavy Psych song ever. The power, the atmosphere, the horror. this song has it all.

@mrtibbs53

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac was THE Fleetwood Mac. So many masterpieces, Albatross, Man Of The World, Oh Well, then this absolutely stunning creation. Loved it then and love it now.

@Mistamistadobalina

I also like the more quiet, pre-pop-Fleetwood Mac much more. Albatross, Man Of The World, Oh Well pt. II, Coming Your Way, Closing My Eyes, Underway, Before The Beginning, Although The Sun Is Shining, Whithout You, ... and after Green left there are also several great songs befor they went 100% pop like Earl Grey, Sands Of Time, Hypnotized.

Nice when ginormous supergroups, remember their old players fallen by the wayside. Proceeds of one concert would have provided him with secure, (hopefully somewhere with less stress), to live. R.I.P.

I agree, I absolutely love the original but without Priest, I probably wouldn't have heard it, personally. You can definitely hear the pain and raw emotion behind Peter's voice. Considering JP's style they wouldn't be able to replicate the same emotion behind this original. I do feel, however, that their cover was a very fitting tribute and a different take on a classic. That is, after all, the idea of a cover; to pay tribute to a band and to also advertise to a fan base bands that have influenced them.

Not to say that JP cannot give the impression of emotion in the form of their music, hell, you can clearly hear a lot of emotion in Rob's voice regarding a man who's struggling to express his sexuality in early Priest.

And - at least, he only rarely got the appreciation and the attention, that he deserved.

Peter, Wherever you are now - I hope sincerely, that you are happy, live in a comfortable place and have the opportunity, to have fun and do fantastic sessions with our other gone heroes like Rory Gallagher, Jimi Hendrix and all the others, we on earth miss so much...

@NatandGeorge

Rumors had it that "Green Manalishi" was a kind of LSD, but Peter Green insists that is was about money. It was based upon a recurrent dream he had in which he woke up unable to move while messages about money formed in his brain. Green recalls: "When I woke up I found I was writing this song. Next day I went out to the park and the words started coming. The Green Manalishi is the wad of notes, the devil is green and he was after me. Fear, inspiration is what it was, but it was that tribal ancient Hebrew thing I was going for. Ancient music." More recently he admitted, "It took me two years to recover from that song. When I listened to it afterwards there was so much power there... it exhausted me." (from an article by Neil Slaven on Union Square Music)

It's about a nightmare Green had after taking LSD and mescaline for several days in a Munich hippie commune in 1969. Along with Hendrix, Beck, Clapton, Peter Green was THE guitarist par excellence at the end of the 60s. His star burnt out within 2-3 years due to permanent stress, mega success and drugs.
GREEN MANALISHI was his last hit for the band he founded and led before he left it and was lost for 10 years.... Until his grandiose (only grandiose) comeback in 1979 with "In The Skies".
