Munich 3/1970 was not an accident. Peter Green was experimenting with free-form German progressive rock (Krautrock). To Jeremy Spencer's ears' at the time, it was noise. That's where "The End of the Game" was born. Peter Green was on a higher plane than everyone else, and they thought he was insane. Mick Fleetwood couldn't grasp that Peter Green wanted to leave potential fame, and fortune, for artistic freedom. It wasn't until he left FM for good after the 1971 US spring tour, that he began to show signs. Yet I believe a lot of his problem was depression, no one wanted to follow his goal. Yet fifteen years later, Bob Geldolf pulled off an UK/USA one day Live Aid concert to help the famine in Ethiopia. That's all Peter Green wanted to do in 1970. The rest of the band said, "no".
