Rainer Langhans, famous former member of well known German communes, writes in an article (" Autobiography"/"Car-Biography") that he and his former girl-friend Uschi Obermaier met Peter Green in Munich, where they invited him to their (then well known) "High-Fish-Commune" (High-Fish = "stoned fish / shark"-commune): http://www.debrebant.de/pdf/auto.pdf
It seems that Langhans and Obermaier were not really interested in Peter Green. - They just wanted to get in contact with Mick Taylor.
Langhans and Obermaier wished to organize a "Bavarian Woodstock". They wanted Jimi Hendrix and "The Rolling Stones" to be the leading stars of their Bavarian open air festival. - They needed the "Green God" just to get in contact with "The Rolling Stones" via Mick Taylor.
Read more about it, in the "Rolling Stone"-Forum (in German):

Last, not least: Please excuse my "English". I'm used to listen and read (in) English, but I'm not used to write in English. Sorry.

I took a glance at the two articles and went on from there. Very interesting. It seems that a lot of unknown information on the Munich-question was already known to a couple of people (but for John MacV. and/or Mick F.?).
Good to know that maybe a movie/documentary about this commune will be made by Christa Ritter????
Please keep us informed, Andreas(???)
