Yes, this Peter Lewry book is exactly the one I'm reading and came across this list of songs;

My guess is they started out with the intention of doing a fully unplugged session; hence Big Love as we now know it. However, maybe they just couldn't get it to work and decided to do the show as we now know it. I suppose they cant bill it as 'Fleetwood Mac Unplugged' if it isn't actually unplugged.
