Check Youtube clips of their early recordings and you could see where Peter Green in 1970 may well have been drawn to their style.
Here's an example of the original Amon Düül, before they split into "Amon Düül I" and "Amon Düül II":

And here's some early Amon Düül II (generally more professional and structured music than the original Amon Düül):

Even as well-traveled as the band was by early 1970, the people and music at the High-Fish commune might well have been something new to them - perhaps exciting to Peter Green but somewhat strange and a bit frightening to the other band members. |
We heard trance-inducing stuff like that played by amateurs all over the USA at that time, especially LA and SF, only done better. That was why the whole affair was so puzzling. But it's amazing what you can think is so great when recording on acid and deplore afterwards when you're straight. BTDT and I rest my case.
