  1. Excellent,give him my best,i actually found a valeno copy guitar,made by a chap in new york,we were visiting my son who lives in chicago,above the chicago music exchange a gr8 shop,with vintage and unusual guitars and amps,and saw it hanging on the wall there,they got it down and let me play it,being a fan of peter,i was thrilled to have a go,although,this one had really heavy gauge strings,with a thick wound third,so it wasnt too easy to play !!! anyway,as i say, give peter my regards.

  2. I am glad you enjoyed it. I will forward your comment to Pete.!

  3. This is gr8,i had the pleasure of supporting peter,back in the mid 80,s,when he played the cliffs pavillion,i was in a band called The business,what a fantastic player,and a lovely guy,i had a chat with him backstage,and he advised i listen to some sax players,and use some of their phrasing techniques to incorporate into my playing !!!

  4. Is Pete going to be doing any UK dates in the near future ?

  5. On the subject of bootlegs, are there any plans as of yet to release ‘Flying the Flag’ and ‘Lucky for Some’ on CD, or in the very least make them availabe to purchase from download?

  6. Glen Turner is not Martin Turner’s brother. Pete is playing a Gordon

  7. Absolutely wonderful. Was that Martin Turner from Wishbone Ash’s brother, Glen that pete introduced at the end? It looked like a Westbury from Climax’s flying the flag days that Pete was playing, but if so, it looked like it had a different neck. Thanks for posting this, and I look foreward very much to any future releases. I really got into Climax around the time of flying the flag, but my vinyls are all worn out now and no sight of a CD issue either. Typical of record companies.

  8. Glad you injoyed it. There are more great vids to come. If you like Country Hat, then stay tuned for "Livin It, ReMastered" This will be released in the next few months, and will inclued Counrty Hat!

  9. Hell yeah! "Country Hat" revisited! Nice solo there by a guy who really knows his slide guitar…

  10. I don’t think it’s a bootleg. The ASIN is B000F1IPRO.

  11. I certainly hope the copy you can buy on Amazon is a legal one and not a bootleg as ALL bootleg copies of Pete’s work are about to be investigated, and those found to be selling said bootleg copies will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

  12. This song is "Country Hat" from the Climax Blues Band 1970 album "A Lot of Bottle" — but which was done much better when recorded live by Pete on their "FM Live" album from 1973. I think it’s an even better version than this video. You can get the remastered CD of "FM Live" on Amazon…
