What if?

[Wouter Vuijk]

Face it. Peter Greens FM died when Peter left. He did not leave for no reason, he felt he did not belong there where everybody wanted him. He actually has never been the hero the way WE saw him. Thus, would he have stayed, it would not have been the band we loved, admired, worshiped, etc. etc. etc. His senstive nature combined with his talent made him who he was as a musician at that time. Also, his sensitive nature led him to part. Should he not have left the band, that would imply he wouldn't have been who he was and FM would not have been the bluesband of those days.
In the later years Peter was very much influenced by the jamming style with the Grateful Dead. This was not commercial and I'm sure they would have ended up slightly out-of-the-picture.

So, the question "What if..." is only hypothtical, no chance it would have ever been possible.

Let's just embrace the fact they were as they were, and enjoy the music they left us.

Actualy the same goes for Danny.
As for Jeremy, I agree that would Peter have stayed, Jeremy would have left the band anyway. The musical direction of the band was not his. Also the pressure would have been too much for him, I guess.
