 Music-Atlas: Peter Green biography, pictures and facts
Born Peter Greenbaum but calling himself Peter Green by age 15, he played bass before being invited in 1966 by keyboardist Peter Bardens to play lead in the Peter B's, whose drummer was a lanky chap named Mick Fleetwood.
Green sounded great and, as Mayall recalls, was not amused when Clapton returned after a handful of gigs, and Green was out.
Green's chaotic odyssey of almost a decade included rumors that he was a gravedigger, a bartender in Cornwall, a hospital orderly, and a member of an Israeli commune.

 Peter Green
One of the more notorious near-casualties of the music world, Peter Green managed to avoid entirely self-immolating in the manner of Jimi Hendrix or becoming permanently impaired as did Syd Barrett, but he came quite close to meeting one of these fates on a number of occasions.
As with many musicians of his generation, Green spent time in a number of small-time blues bands before finding the opportunity that would establish a lasting reputation -- in his case, replacing (on two occasions) guitarist Eric Clapton in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.
In 1967, Peter Green left the Bluesbreakers and, along with fellow former Bluesbreaker Mick Fleetwood, formed the first incarnation of Fleetwood Mac.
