Das nachfolgende Jeremy-Spencer-Interview vom Februar 2014 zeigt, dass inzwischen auch die offizielle Darstellung von Peter Greens München-Zwischenfall durch seine ehemaligen Bandkollegen deutlich konkreter wurde:

Jeremy Spencer Still Has The Blues And Can’t Hold Out : An Exclusive Conversation with Founding Fleetwood Mac Guitarist Jeremy Spencer (Sunday, February 9, 2014) (http://houseofrockinterviews.blogspot.co.at/2014/02/jeremy-spencer-still-has-blues-and-cant.html)

„NHOR : It’s said that the infamous „Munich incident“(An LSD party at the Highfisch-Kommune in Munich, Germany, which band manager at the time Clifford Davis claims was the night that Peter Green and Danny Kirwan became ‘seriously mentally ill -Editor’s Note)’ accelerated Peter’s mental decline at the time. Since you were there, do you see that as being the case?

JS : It makes me chuckle to read so many blog speculations on this matter, but it seems as though the tabloids, media and the public prefer to stick with accepted theories and scapegoats!

Peter took acid with Rainer Langhans and Rainer’s girlfriend, Uschi Obermaier and others who were wanting to stage a massive Bavarian Woodstock. They were hoping that through Peter, they could get Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones to participate in the event. We were small fry!

As far as accelerating his mental decline, I believe it did. Yes, the atmosphere in that rich hippie mansion was undeniably weird by all other accounts, but in my opinion, Peter was heading in a certain direction whether he took another tab of acid or not. Besides, Peter liked those people and seemed to have enjoyed his experience there along with that horrendous musical ‘jam’.

Whatever the circumstances at the time, he had his wits about him enough to make his own choices, which was evident in his adamant decision to leave the band.“
