Peter was pivotal in the music breakthrough that moved late 60s' psychedelia into what became progressive rock. But he wasn't an angel. He was fired from bands that became legendary, and he imploded others. A divisive figure with far-reaching influence and often called "the architect of progressive music," Peter died in much the same way he started: in relative obscurity in a dingy London flat.
