Green et al in Netherlands 1969

[zoork_1]

Humble question - does anybody have information (dates, set lists, etc.) on two or possibly more shows in Netherlands 1969? I’ve got a number of songs tagged as either Concertgebouw The Hague 1969-02-28 or Concertgebouw Amsterdam, 1969-03-01. However, I suspect most of them are wrong labelled and would really appreciate some help to sort this out...

As for Amsterdam, here's the poster. It clearly mentions 28 february. As for The Hague, I'm almost sure that has taken place on april 20 1969.
Not sure about the complete setlists, but I have recordings as follows:
FLEETWOOD MAC LIVE IN HOLLAND

Amsterdam (28-02-1969)

1. Intro
* 2. Merry go round
* 3. One sided love

* 7. Sugar mama
* 8. Can’t hold out
9. Tallahassie Lassie

Den Haag (20-04-1969?)

10. Intro
11. One sided love
* 12. Stop messin’ round
* 13. San Ho Zay

Just realised I forgot to mention that they played in Rotterdam a few days before or after The Hague. I saw them in Rotterdam and only have a vivid memory of them playing Green Manalishi, and seeing little Jeremy hidden behind his huge slide guitar and also playing the piano. Can't recall the songs they played.
I moved to a town called Groningen in 1971. People over here told me about them playing at the "Korenbeurs". The stage manager shut down the "electricical" (as Lisa Douglas from Green Acres would say) because of either the noise or the fact that at 24.00 the place had to shut down. I'd have to ask about the reason.

[sharksfan2000]

Wouter, if you saw the band performing "The Green Manalishi", wouldn't it have been a later show? I don't believe Peter Green wrote that song until late '69. The first live performance I know of was in November 1969.

I've always had doubts as to the accuracy of the April 20th date given for second show - the set list most definitely places the show in 1969, and we know that they toured Scandinavia for eleven days at the end of March 1969 with them back in England by the latest April 15th, when Green played bass on a couple of numbers for Duster Bennett's live LP.
Wouldn't it have made more sense for them to include a trip to Netherlands around the same time period, rather than make the trip for this one show, even if there were others we do not know about?
April 22nd was the first night of their series of shows opening for B. B. King on his first tour of England. Why cut it that close? It would make more sense if the show was actually from March.
As to the set list, the bootleg that I have also lists "Teenage Darling" yet it is not on the disc - the first live version that I know of is from January 2nd 1970 at the Fillmore West. Also, "Twist and Shout" is less than a minute in length, hardly worth mentioning other than that number too would not be heard again on bootleg until January 4th 1970 at the Fillmore West.
Coincidence? Possibly, but it seems more likely to me that those numbers were not part of the show the rest of the numbers were taken from.
If anyone actually has a copy of the bootleg with "Teenage Darling" on it, I would love to hear about it and how it compares with the version from the Fillmore West.

Tanks Wouter (and others) for answering. Maybe we'll find out about Hague some day... Another question; In Vienna Austria 1970-03-25 P Green appears to play a Fender Stratocaster, at least on the "Apache" part. I've been playing both Les Pauls and Strats for at least 20 years so I guess I should know. (On the other hand I've been wrong before...) Do you or anyone else know if he used Strats in other shows? I know he used one on video clips from studio out takes on Need Your Love So Bad, but I'm reflecting up on live gigs.

That's interresting, I've never heard of him using any other instrument than his Les Paul and the 6-string Fender bass (which he used on the solo part of his live performances of Green Manalishi during live shows towards the end of his FM career). I seem to remember seeing a picture of Peter with a National Steel Guitar in his hands somewhere, but I don't remember where or when (could it be in the booklet from Vaudeville Years or Live at the BBC that I've seen it?).
I saw their concert in Stockholm Sweden one week after the Vienna concert and it would be nice to compare the setlists. Do you have one, or perhaps even information on how to obtain a copy of the recording from that concert?
Is there a released recording or is it a bootleg in circulation?

March 1 1969 was apparently incorrect suggested (on a collectors hompage) as the date for the show at Concertgebouw Amsterdam. Could this possibly be the date for Concertgebouw Hague? (One of the gaps in The Fleetwoodmac.net tour book is between February 25 Bournemouth Ritz and March Bristol University - March 6 Lafayette, Wolverhampton Club.)

haha, with Cuby & the Blizzards? cool. And, living in Groningen for 6 years, never knew the Korenbeurs used to be a concert hall? Interesting. I do know the mac played in Jazzcafé de Spiegel, but that was in 1994/5 (also before I lived here, ah..)
thanks for the stories!

I saw Cuby & the Blizzards e few weeks ago in Drachten. Could have spent my time a lot better.....
On the other hand, Kaz Lux was opening the show. His voice is still awesome

Korenbeurs*, concertgebouw, Jazzcafé de Spiegel, stories……? I was aiming at dates for the Amsterdam and/or Hague shows. And sorry, I didn’t know Hague had no “concertgebouw”. By the way I don’t know if this poster is familiar or not but it’s claimed to be 1969.

*Saturday March 1 1969 according to a poster at fmlegacy.com

Yes, April 1 was a Tuesday in 1969.
Thanks zoork_1, now we've a set the date for the Stockholm spring concert. Think I have parts of the setlist somewhere. I'll check it out during the weekend.

That would be nice, I have a recording presumably Stockholm april 1, 1970. Here are the tracks (2CD):
Disc 1:
1. Foxtrot instrumental (4.14)
2. Underway (15.45)
3. Rolling man (8.42)
4. World in harmony (3.49)
5. Only you (4.09)
6. Madison blues (3.23)
7. My baby's gone (4.19)
8. Instrumental improvisation (3.39)
9. I've got a mind to give up living (8.00)
10. The green manalishi (19.58)

Disc 2:
1. Coming your way (10.03)
2. Loving kind (3.21)
3. Stranger blues (5.07)
4. Tiger (4.06)
5. Albatross (3.43)
6. Rattlesnake shake (23.10)
7. Twist and shout (14.09)

Perhaps you can compare with your setlist?
On the other hand, Sharksfan pointed out that Peter didn't write Manalishi until late 1969.... By coincidence they played Stockholm april 1 on two consecutive years (could be a joke, april fool )?

How does one get a copy of this recording? Is it a bootleg?
