Contemporary '60s influences on Peter Green

[sharksfan2000]

Maybe this has been discussed here before, but I couldn't find anything. Any opinions on which contemporary musicians might have been the strongest influences on Peter Green in the late '60s? It's easy to find his references to his blues heroes, but I'm thinking more along the lines of some of the emerging blues-rock musicians from that period. I'm trying to figure out in my mind the catalysts that pushed Peter in new directions during this time.

Peter has often mentioned Eric Clapton as a big influence on him. I'd be surprised if Jimi Hendrix didn't have some effect on Peter - I believe you can hear that on some of Peter's work in '69 & '70 - but I'm not sure he was a major influence. I've read that Mac's gigs with the Grateful Dead led Peter to explore the extended jams that show up in both studio and live recordings around the same time. What about Mike Bloomfield and others? Any specific songs that suggest particular musical influences?
