There is a great line in an old R & B song.

They had a strange symbiotic relationship with each other and each contributed to the total product. Together they were so incredibly formidable. That it had side effects.........Oh Well

The cog in the wheel was Jeremy Spencer. While JS wasn't an active guitarist for Peter Green songs, or songs that featured Danny Kirwan, JS played great piano for some Peter Green blues songs, and some of the Fifties songs' Peter Green sang.
Jeremy Spencer wrote a song in 1969 that was protopunk; "Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked in Tonight". It's been covered so many times by many punk bands. For that song alone, Jeremy Spencer grew beyond the blues.
Three guitarists was a crowd. That was the problem, so Peter Green left. IMHO (sorry Mr. Spencer), but the wrong guitarist left in May 1970.
