Stuart Godfrey thought that

John Mayall seemed kind of flat after the Zep experience. His music was nice, acoustic (Turning-Point) stuff mostly. I recall the dominant bass
sound, and the crowd reaction when Mayall sang "don't throw rocks at policemen" in "The Laws Must Change" - quite a few things got thrown, cans
mostly, but I don't think anybody got hit.

NB : Duster Bennett may have left the band by this time as he is not listed on the Live At the Marquee album mentioned below.

    The set list of this show might be similar to the one below,  which was featured in the film - The Turning Point, recorded at the Marquee Club two days later 30th June 69, and released in 1999 on Eagle Records. .

Can't Sleep This Night
