This is an incomplete show but it's historically significant. Jeremy Spencer had just unexpectedly and most bizarrely left the group to join the Children of God, and Fleetwood Mac still had about 6 weeks of a tour to complete. They turned to Peter Green to help them out and he did. Most likely, this is first show he did with them. Listening to this show, Peter is pretty much in the background, although they do extend out on the Tell Me All the Things You Do jam at the end. You'll probably also notice some congas on this song which pretty seals the deal that Peter was in the band that night.

Here is an excerpt from the Peter Green biography (by Martin Celmins) which lends credence to the theory that this may be the first show (or one of the first) with Green upon his return: "Nigel Watson remembers the scene in mid February after Peter got the SOS: "We took a flight from Heathrow at 2 in the afternoon and got to Los Angeles fourteen hours later. Clifford met us and drove us straight to the Swing Auditorium at San Bernardino for the gig. They rehearsed in the dressing room for half an hour then went out and did the gig. Afterwards we all got absolutely pissed. Peter could have played all the old Fleetwood Mac numbers but he just didn't want to do that. His attitude was 'If they want Peter Green, they'll do the music I now want to do'. Once we got into the tour though, Peter began to take the leading role for the whole gig, which annoyed Danny Kirwan who felt overshadowed."
