Those two June gigs are described in Hjort's book, and the book specifically mentions Nick Buck playing with Peter on the 14th. It's not clear from the book whether Peter actually played that 13 December show, but the 18 December one sounds like it was his last live performance of the period.

Of course, Green also played the Bath Festival on 27 June, as part of John Mayall's band.

Judging from Hjort's book, it seems that Peter was rumored to appear at a number of shows during 1970 that he either was never really booked for or that he backed out of. There's a show listed in the book that was at the 100 Club in London on 25 August, but again the book doesn't make it clear whether Peter actually played or not (and it may well be that there wasn't any more info about whether he played). Another appearance noted in the book was Peter jamming with the group Noir at the Roundhouse on London in early July.

But Hjort's book notes that few of Peter's appearances during this period were announced to the press, and there was little formal scheduling of shows. There may well have been more shows than have been documented, but it appears that he played very few dates after leaving Fleetwood Mac.

One more appearance of note in 1970, again mentioned in Hjort's book - Peter happened to be in New Orleans visiting Nick Buck in early November, and the Allman Brothers invited him to jam with them at their show at the Warehouse on the 7th. What a shame Dinky Dawson wasn't there to record that!

And he certainly did some studio recordings with the Allman Brothers Band....so maybe one they will see the light of the day....!!!
