It's kind of funny no press people ever picked up on this or if they did, never chose to mention the discrepancy in their writings.

When Mick Fleetwood felt that Peter Green didn't have Fleetwood Mac in his best interests, he became the "Den Mother/PR" man for the band.
This explains:
1) "Munich 3/70" "Peter Green played crazy german progressive rock (Krautrock) in a basement on acid, so he's now "crazy"." TRUTH: Peter Green wanted to leave FM as early as late 1969. The late Gary Moore claims Peter Green wanted out in 1969.
2)Mick Fleetwood completely rejects "The End of the Game" as a Jimi Hendrix redux. If Mick Fleetwood actually listened to the album, it has more in common with Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew", than a later Hendrix album. He was hurt that Peter Green left, and lashed out!
3)Mick Fleetwood was scared sh*tless that the 1970 Boston Tea Party tapes would be released while the "Rumours" band existed. It wasn't until Lindsay Buckingham left FM in 1985 that the 1970 Boston Tea Party tapes were released officially.
4)If Mick Fleetwood admits #3, I know the truth. Fleetwood Mac had an 2 LP album that bests' the Allmans' "Live at the Fillmore East", recorded one year earlier. The fact that Peter Green left 5/70 prevented the release of this great live album. If Peter Green only stayed on for another six months, there is no Bob Welch.
