On 30th August 1972, Mac played at Gaelic Park in the Bronx, and a good recording of this is now on Dime.

Danny is here, and I'm confused by this because I thought he'd been fired by this point, being the end of August 1972. While he sounds a bit off at times he's largely quite good, singing lead as usual "Black Magic Woman" and rocking on "'Trinity", in what is now my favourite version of the song.
Also of interest is the only version of "Green Manalishi" I've heard performed by the Kirwan/Welch lineup, with Welch obviously taking vocals as he did on later versions.
Contrasting almost all other boots from 1972 (at least the ones I've got), they skip "Tell Me" to open with a thumping "Homeward Bound" that surges into a groove as soon as they are introduced.
Everything I've read about Danny's dismissal only refers to "one night in August", never a date. Am I to understand then that all that drama went down the very next night?? Or oddly did all take place one night in September instead?
