Last update Sept 2022- new pix Led Zeppelin, The Nice and Liverpool Scene.

      Derek Manuel remembers :

As they were the headlining band ,Fleetwood Mac closed the show around 11:30pm. I'm positive the photo on the Best of Fleetwood Mac of the band lit with a red light is from the end of this show.

Brian Rowe was in convulsions over the Mac set Fleetwood Mac closed the show with a mixed bunch of 50's rock songs. I remember it well...I was breaking my neck for a pee and my convulsions blended in well with the dancing. I dread to think how I would have managed wiith 'Man of the World' Regards Brian Rowe   Peter Green - guitar/vocals John McVie - bass Mick Fleetwood - drums Jeremy Spencer - guitar/vocals Danny Kirwan - guitar/vocals

  Recording Details , setlists.

Finally a recording has surfaced of part of the Fleetwood Mac set,

Fleetwood Mac .

Instrumental 6:44

So Many Natural Ways ?( vocals Peter Green ) 2:42

Red Hot Mama 2:42

This is generally the best of the recordings . Very little in the way of audience noise and the sound is quite clean . There is a fair amount of hiss , but relatively in the background once the band gets going. the first track is an instrumental that lasts for six minutes or so but cuts out before it ends. This is a really great track that features lovely interplay between the guitarists but then suddenly dives into reduced volume levels which increases hiss markedly.

   At this time Mac were moving away from their blues based material and becoming a Blues Rock band , indulging in a lot of jamming on occasions . They also had achieved chart success with the Peter Green composition Albatross , which seems to have been played at most live shows in 1969. Rattlesnake Shake did develop into an extended jam over the course of the year and into 1970 but since Mac were a band that varied their sets a fair bit, this list below is just an indication of what MIGHT have been played at this show .Its fair to say that quite few of these would have featured at Bath , the Jeremy Spencer stuff is fairly easy to work out for a start, but until a complete tape surfaces , or someone with a good memory can dredge up the exact songs played, we will just have to resort to educated guesses.

Fleetwood Mac songs played in concert between April and September 1969.
