WATCH: Mick Fleetwood and Friends Feat: David Gilmour Drop Stunning “Albatross” Instrumental

On February 25, 2020, mere days before the first case of COVID-19 was discovered in the UK, as the ongoing pandemic necessitated the suspension of modern society, a very special concert took place at the legendary Palladium in London celebrating the songs of Peter Green and the original incarnation of Fleetwood Mac

Spearheaded as Mick Fleetwood and Friends, the audience at that sold-out show witnessed something unique at what would be the last live concert anyone would attend until further notice. This show also now takes on a particularly poignant meaning, with the unfortunate passing of Peter Green in July 2020.

The players gathered were an all-star cast and all of the musicians present that night had a deep and frequently far-fetched, cosmic connection to the songs.

The participants that night included Neil FinnNoel GallagherBilly GibbonsDavid GilmourKirk HammettJohn MayallChristine McVieJeremy SpencerZak StarkeyPete TownshendSteven Tyler and Bill Wyman. Legendary producer Glyn Johns joined as the executive sound producer and the house band featured Mick Fleetwood himself along with Dave BronzeJonny LangAndy Fairweather LowRicky Peterson and Rick Vito.

A stirring rendition of the Green original “Albatross” featuring David Gilmour has been released. Check out the live video below where Gilmour weaves colors up and down the slide guitar to give this 1969 original from The Fleewood Mac compilation album The Pious Bird of Good Omen.
