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? |

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" |

What his band members might have noted in that period was a shift in his attitude towards music. He wanted out of the corporate music business and play free music. It's highly unlikely one night in a Munich castle led him down this path, but tiredness from touring and a gradual disillusionment with the business. That's not LSD damage, that's a change in lifestyle and priorities, possibly influenced by drug use. And he didn't work as a "gravedigger", he was a gardener at a cemetary. Is gardener a somehow ugly or crazy profession as you seem to imply? The music business is a much "sicker" business. |

Two intrviews on the Munich incident
