1970 "END OF THE GAME" ~ Peter Green

highly respected hard & heavy guitar trio led by phenomenal guitar great Peter Green ...

"End Of The Game" is much heavier than any of Green's work with Mayall's Bluesbreakers OR Fleetwood Mac ... the long driving jams are filled with tight pumping rhythms playing off a wall of wah-wah guitar onslaught ...similar to the heaviness of Chicken Shack's "Imagination Lady" Lp....and overall delivers a knock-out punch right from the very first track, with the powerful, "Bottoms Up,"  a freeform jam worthy of its placement right at the top of the album's playlist. As the rhythm section steamrolls, Green's Les Paul leads the group into the Stratocastersphere with a powerful attack. Ironically, the music sounds focused, as persistent rumors from around this time chronicling Green's mental instability seem unfounded given the quality of the music. The album, though, does follow in the footsteps of the brief instrumental excursions pioneered by Green on the seminal Fleetwood Mac album Then Play On, which had been cut earlier in the year.

Hendrix-ian in his approach, yet very original, Green's performance on "End Of The Game" is the real reason that he is remembered at all, because, without this document (and since most of his recordings with Fleetwood Mac were steeped heavily in straight-ahead, twelve-bar blues), it would be tough to place him near the Beck/Clapton/Page pantheon of rock guitarists based on previous recordings alone. "End Of The Game", though, shows that Green's guitar power approach, when unleashed, was as "out there" and holds it's own against any wah-wah laden heavy progressive rockers pf the era.
