I would think considering the improvisational aspect, Duane Allman and the entire Allman Bros Band, like the Grateful Dead, would've been an influence. The difference in the live shows from when Fleetwood Mac first toured the US (and playing on the same bill as both the ABB & the GD) and when they came back a year later...the extended "Rattlesnake Shake/Madges/Underway", the extended "Green Manalishi" performances, show some influence from those other bands.
I know Peter influenced others...Jimi Hendrix's "Pali Gap" is, in a way, his version of "Albatross". Of course there's the Beatles admitting to "borrowing" Albatross to create "Sun King". Listen to ZZ Top's "Blue Jean Blues" or anything from their first couple of albums, Billy Gibbons REALLY has the Peter Green blues tone.
Wasn't Peter in the Bluesbreakers at the time John Mayall did that recording with the Butterfield Blues Band (w/ Mike Bloomfield & Elvin Bishop on guitars)
