Here's what I don't understand about the "introverted" Peter Green: This is the same person who approached established British blues artist John Mayall (while Clapton was in Greece for a couple months in 1965) to claim he was better than Clapton's replacement onstage. Keith Moon was at least drunk when he told Roger Daltrey he was better than the drummer onstage in 1964. That's just plain brazen confidence. Where did it go? It of course worked out for Green when Clapton formed Cream a year later, Mayall asked Green to replace Clapton. Peter Green during the Mayall years, and the first year and a half with Fleetwood Mac was very controlling. He knew what he wanted and he expected it from his session musician's, or FM band members. For those who have the "Fleetwood Mac Blue Horizons Sessions" box set know this. Peter Green was a great leader, a task master, he always complained that Mick Fleetwood was behind the beat. He was demanding, but was correct everytime. He used to verbally fight with producer Mike Vernon. So prior to the first U.S. visit in San Francisco with Owsley Stanley (Bear) in 6/68, Peter Green is a very self confident guitarist. Peter began to change during the first U.S. tour in the fall of '68. That's when "something" happened. From that experience came self doubt: "Man of the World", "Green Manalishi", and "Oh Well". Forget the Munich incident, this "trigger" happened during the U.S. late '68/early '69 tour. |

How to contact Rainer Langhans
Quote:
If anyone else wishes to ask Rainer Langhans anything about his Munich encounter with Peter Green "send a private message to me, I'll give you the contact adress you require". - Maybe Langhans took some photographs of Greenie (and him and/or Uschi Obermair)?

popmuseum, I'd be more reluctant in publishing somebody's email adress on a forum like this. Spammers are everywhere.
Here's a suggestion: Maybe it would be better if you edit your previous message to something like "send a private message to popmuseum, he'll give you the contact adress you require". |

And according to Tony Fletcher it was all set up - Keith had been rehearsing with them for a couple of weeks. |

I haven't read that book in over ten years! Do you remember reading when Keith Moon went to seek spiritual guidance ('77), and a person told Keith he was mentally broken? Last edited by slipkid; 12-04-2009 at 12:29 AM.. |

Holy cow, did I just fall down into the rabbit hole... I'm catching up on these old posts.
I'm not nearly as familiar with the early years. I know the standard stories and myths circulating in any basic wikipedia or FM biography page, including the "3 day acid trip in Munich." It's extremely interesting to learn more about that night (including that it was just 1 night rather than 3, etc). So many thoughts. First, it's very cool to hear directly from Mr. Jeremy Spencer. Thank you, Mr. Spencer, for sharing your insights! Second general thought, is it confirmed that the man and woman are Uschi Obermaier and Rainer Langhans? It does seem likely given what I've been reading online about them in my rabbit hole, their associations with Kommune 1, Amon Düül, etc. So fascinating. Popmuseum, thanks for sharing your correspondence with Langhans! So many thoughts... so many "what ifs." |

By the way: Journalist Ada Wilson wrote a novel which deals with Peter Green's Munich accident*: Red Army Faction Blues. Route (2011). ISBN 978-1-901927-48-1. https://www.amazon.de/Red-Army-Facti.../dp/1901927482 * As my favorite nobel laureate said: "Somebody got lucky. But it was an accident" |
