Music genius known as Peter Green! I first heard this beautiful instrumental when I was 13 years old in 1969, still listen to it now in 2023. His music will live on forever. ♥ RIP

I'm 70 years old ,been listening to this " MASTERPIECE " from the very beginning & NEVER EVER TIER of it. Over& over & ............💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🌴🌺

Wow, im 65 and considered myself very knowledgeable on music. Tonight March 27 2024 is the first time I've ever heard this. Mind-blowing. Ive literally collected thousands of albums, been to hundreds of concerts, played un a dozen bands. How is it possible i missed this beautiful song? I heard it on Mindhunter show. I thought it was the Climax Blues Band so i looked it up. The music from the 60s 70s 80s will never be repeated. I think that's why the world is so messed up today. 75% of today's music has no soul or love involved in it. Peter Green was a genius.

At 73 this was the best and first single that I ever purchased, thanks Peter for the fantastic memory and this beautiful music.

Will we ever hear this kind of talent ever again in the music industry? Big ask. Glad I'm 58 and not 18✌️☮️🌠🌌👍😁🌍

Played this at my husband's funeral showing photos of our life together still cry lisning to it

Close my eyes and TRY to forget my daily grind, my overwhelming responsibilities, my inner demons and my lifes choices........Im sailing in the South Pacific on a majestic catamaran with a calm sea and beautiful sunset. Thats where this masterpiece takes me, if only for a moment.

One of the finest pieces of music. Perfect for just laying down on a sunny beach. Brilliant 👏

I first heard this in 1970 when I was 18. It has stood the test of time better than many pieces from that time.

Iv told my family this tune is when I leave this earth play it loud 😊

i got married to this, played while she was walking down the isle.

If only life could be as beautiful as this piece of music. Music made by angels.❤

I used to be a bus driver and when I got stressed out by customers, idiot drivers and awful traffic I'd play this song in my head and it would get me through my shift. RIP Peter. Youre sadly missed. ❤

I close my eyes and listen to this timeless masterpiece much as I have since the early 70s. How blessed I've been to live through those musical times.

The music of a gentler time in humanity. Surreal... It's like a friggin' dream sequence listening to this song. There are so many beautiful pieces out there, but some just have something special flitting about in them. THIS is one of those songs.

The World needs this kind of healing power today in 2023 as the Planet shifts off its Axis. Make Love, Not War.

It captures the essense of a majestic drifting on air currents over the vast and featureless ocean, feeling safety and vastness at the same time.

I was so lucky to see them play this ethereal masterpiece. It opened a door to a new place in music. Then they would follow with Rattlesnake Shake! What a great band! RIP.

I'm leaving this world to this beautiful music playing ❤ flying like the Albatross away in the clouds... R.i.p. Peter ❤

Il existait, à la télévision française, dans les années 70, un jeu de rébus qui utilisait Albatross comme jingle.. je regardais le jeu avec mon papa.. et je pense à lui à chaque fois que j'entends cette musique. Je n'aurais d'ailleurs jamais imaginé , à ce moment là,être un jour grand fan de Peter Green. RIP Peter !

I remember hearing so many songs on the radio that the announcer would just say “That’s Fleetwood Mac” and no more except to praise the music.

I walked onto a beach in cairns and was awash with shade but a few feet away the water was immersed in full sunlight i had thisbplaying through my headphones! It was a surreal experience as i never had been to a beach with those conditions! ❤❤❤❤

THIS HEADY DELIRIUM TAKES ME BACK IN A TREASURED TIME CAPSULE .. PETER GREENE .. GUITARIST EXTRAORDINAIRE .. A TIME OF THE SWEET INNOCENCE OF BEING HUNGARY AND OH SO NAIVE AT HEART .. ALWAYS MUSIC IS THE FOOD OF LOVE .. B .. XOXO ❤

Would there have been a Fleetwood Mac without Peter Green? 😎✌❤🎶

Peter gave us a beautiful gift when he wrote and played Albatross. The music lives in my head and in my heart.

I just love albatross. I keep playing it.iam Albatrossmad.iwould love to see the Albatross for reel.but to oldnow I am 87.so I am going to have the Albatross music. When I pop off.love it X

After so many years some less intelligent still name Fleetwood as the composer. There is a difference from the band who performed it and the genius of Peter Green

Peter Green. What a Great Man.

This music will do...❤❤

Such a magical melody. It makes me so mystically moody just like the first time I ever heard it. After travelling all night on foot I crossed an unmarked border into Holland and fell asleep in the woods. In the morning I woke up in a strange new country with a feeling so untethered and strange - yet so fully transcendent...like careening across an ocean on a wind drift. Then I walked into a nearby cafe and I heard this song on the juke box.

I was buried to this. Still can 'close' my eyes and think what a masterpiece it is.

Rest in love Greeny. Fly your albatross to heaven.

UNDERRATED ERA FOR THE BAND.

This is such a beautiful piece of music. Put on your headphones, lie back in the dark, and let your imagination carry you where it will!

Reminds me of days at the cafe the Swiss chalet,we played this endlessly

It's been one of my all time favorite songs ever since someone gave me the LP in the 60s. And Fleetwood Mac then became one of my all time favorite groups, to this day...before, during, and after Nicks and Buckingham, including everyone's solo and regrouping performances.

We saw the man himself do this one, many years ago and we will never forget one of the best guitarists and song writers ever....

I listen to this all the time down by the ocean...my peaceful place! Thank you Peter Green. Rest in peace!

The most beautiful song ever createt , Peter Green we miss you 💚💚💚RIP

I remember in 1976 I was 6-7 sat on the floor playing with mums records oops 😬 anyway I put this on an i was mesmerized..even today when I need to be somewhere else I put this on, aaaah pure bliss. I’m remembering me on floor an mum doing the ironing, good times.. b safe everyone 😊

My all time favourite piece of music. It sings to my soul.

I had this album . I always played The vinyl during early morning hours to slow down after a long colorful party.

Got hooked on this beautiful theme in 1970 still love it and listening in 2022.

You will never get a tune like this or beat this absolutely amazing brilliant gorgeous x

Incredibly relaxing

Time eternal this music and hopefully the Albatross too.. so languid, just beautiful 😊💞

Although I lived through the 1960s both here in America (East Coast) and England I had never heard this song until recently (2023). I think I've listened to it around 50 times or so. It takes me back to my high school days and my 2 friends, both dead now. I don't know why given that I'd not heard it back then. It brings great peace to me when listening to it. Only good memories surface. Thank you Fleetwood Mac wherever you are.

Tripping with Army Buddies in Frankfurt in 70...to this, oh Well.. Rest in Peace old fellas...True friendships ...

The musical equivalent of the best joint you ever had...........just float away to paradise ✌️

Oh... So beautiful. I heard it a lot during childhood, and I found it very soothing. And now the piece has new meaning to me. A couple of days ago, I was sitting next to someone who's very special to me. We are in the process of getting to know one another, having a good time, laugh and cry together, having wonderful conversations, flirting, warning each other about our own flaws... And then the band started to play Albatross. Just as I thought, oh I would like to hold him, he lay his head on my shoulder, then we held each other tight in a most tender way, just... BEING. The world stood still for a couple of minutes as if our artist souls were being carried by the wind that carried the Albatross...😍

I have my hands wrapped around my wife dancing slowly in the living room while the kids sleep away

Serenely beautiful

First heard this as a lad aged 14. Still my all time favourite piece of music. Totally agree with with previous comments. I t takes you places and calms the soul. It will take me to my final testing place as I am laid to rest. The last thing I want to hear in this life anyway. Peace to all.

1st time (68 or 69)I heard this & Oh Well made me stop & listen..... back in the late 60's this was good stuff & now here in 2020 it's still good stuff......

I used to see Peter in Oxted surrey many years ago . He was clearly coming back into the world and The Splinter Group was formed during that time. What a legacy first heard this in 1967 maybe.

Best piece of music in the world ever

Could listen to this song everyday.

A genius. I saw him at the Long Beach Blues Festival late last century. He was eating dinner alone at the Hyatt. I approached his table and told him he was the most amazing guitarist I had ever heard. He didn’t say anything, just stared at me.

Heard this in the late 60's, it is my favourite piece of music - my mother's and my late partner's too; he played it at my mother's funeral, and it was played at his. It resonates somewhere deep in my soul, I love playing it on a continuous loop. Magical.

I was 18 then and sill love it lots of good days in my life thank you Peter RIP.

I first heard this song in 1970 in Cushendall by the sea, Wonderfull some great memories, great song ,IS JAMIES ROGERS OUT THERE.

Rest in peace Peter 🙏🎸🎵🔝

I subtract myself to this world/dump by listening to this wonderful tune

Once, long ago, 40-50 years ago, in the American US Southwest, hundreds or maybe thousands of miles from the oceans (Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of California/Sea of Cortez), I witnessed an albatross fly over from east to west.

This is what Peter Green hears in heaven. Hope I will too.

Glad I lived through the best era for music, awesome

I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU BOYS WE ALL MISS PETER

DE doorbraak van Fleetwood Mac !!! Blijft een SUPER- mooi nummer ..... Genieten ... wegdromen .....!!!!

Just love this track Just listening to it and drift away ❤

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams

The nicest music ever

Still listening 2-4-20 -23 .takes ne back to a better time and a better world. 😊

Si je devais retenir un seul titre de Fleetwood Mac, ce serait Albatros !...

It sings to my soul and I gave it to my dear heart friend Leif🌹 in his funeral.... it was a beautiful farvel 💖

I can't believe this piece of musical excellence only charted at no. 104 in the U. S., what's wrong with you? 😉

Thanks for this beautiful melody. Was very happy to listen to it after so long.😊😊😊

It feels like sailing over an ocean...

Fleetwood Mac great. But how much greater would they have been with Peter? We'll never know!! Still loving the sounds of the past,

Beautiful and smooth ❤️💕💖🔊💓💘💋🌞🌞

Turn down the lights , light a few candles , glass of wine and let your mind and the music take away your stress . Chill out in the best way. Instrumental music best way to relax.

Am I right in thinking this was there first number 1 hit back in 1968 I was still at school in the UK.

JUST DRIFTING UP INTO THE WIND CURRENTS WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD 🌎 🎶 💔

The beat is haunting ❤❤❤❤❤🎵🎶

Cierras los ojos y sientes la misma sensación de estar en una playa viendo esas aves maravillosas. Música maravillosa. Gracias

first time I have ever heard this, now I see why Fleetwood is a so famous, you can hear the talent

I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU WE ALL MISS PETER AND YOU BOYS ARE THE BEST

Es una obra maestra que conpuso Peter Green y tiene 3 guitarras la suya la de Jeremy Spencer y Dany Kiwan am bajo Mac la Vie y como no en la batería Mic Fleewood. Una gozada y tengo el disco de época de fleewood mac que escucho una y otra vez y no me canso gracias por esta música...

BOYS YOU ARE THE BEST I CAN FEEL MY HEARTBEAT NOW I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU WE ALL MISS PETER

Beautiful. Makes me want to drift away

I can recalling hearing this tune for the first time back in 1968 when I was a young, impressionable guitarist who thought Peter Greene was one of the best guitarists of the current era. Albatross got scant airplay on the US charts however. Why, I haven't a clue, because it is a beautiful piece of music. Mastery in simplicity -- a very difficult goal to achieve.

Absolutely awesome music

Love this. My favorite song to play on my E guitar. Close your eyes and sail through the air over the sea .

One of the best peices of music

Still listening in 2023

Heavenly mysic.

Close your eyes and you're flying over the sea... marvelous

YOU BOYS ARE THE BEST I CAN FEEL MY HEARTBEAT AND WE ALL MISS PETER

Got played a lot in Beijing on EZ FM in the 90s. Beautiful piece!

Fantastic. I am an insomniac and this helps me to get to sleep at night.

YEAH BOYS YOU ARE THE BEST WE ALL MISS PETER I AM JUST SMOKING AND LISTENING TO YOU
