Hear David Gilmour, Peter Green Play Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Need Your Love So Bad’

Need Your Love So Bad - Peter Green and David Gilmour

A previously unheard recording of “Need Your Love So Bad” — a blues song that late Fleetwood Mac frontman Peter Green sang with the group in its early days — will come out in conjunction with the release of a new book about Green, The Albatross Man, this October.

Green recorded the vocal in his mother’s attic sometime in the mid-Sixties; the more familiar recording of the track came out on Fleetwood Mac’s 1969 LP, The Pious Bird of Good Omen. Former Pink Floyd frontman and Green’s friend, David Gilmour — who performed Green’s signature song “Albatross,” at the Peter Green Tribute last year — recorded the guitars for the new version, which was produced by Laurie Latham.

Their Mortal Remains Exhibition Opens In Los Angeles

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by


The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains Opens In America For The First Time August 3rd 2021

The exhibition’s mammoth, described by national British newspapers as “stunning”, “a real feast for the senses” and “almost as good as seeing the band live”, was the most successful exhibition of its kind. The exhibition celebrates Pink Floyd’s place in history as the world’s cultural landscape changed throughout the 1960s and beyond. The band occupied a distinctive experimental space and was the foremost exponent of a psychedelic movement that changed the understanding of music forever, becoming one of the most important groups in contemporary music.

Pink Floyd have produced some of the most iconic imagery in popular culture: from pigs flying over Battersea Power Station, The Dark Side of the Moon prism, cows, and marching hammers to giant inflatable teachers; their vision was brought to life by creative individuals such as modern surrealist and long-time collaborator Storm Thorgerson, satirical illustrator Gerald Scarfe and psychedelic lighting pioneer Peter Wynne-Wilson.

The exhibition will open at the Vogue Multicultural Museum in Los Angeles August 3rd until November 30th 2021.

Pre-sale tickets go on sale on May 3rd, Click here to book your tickets online.
