Here's the WTRFMPSU set list: Blue italics are the songs from Bermuda Triangle

Green Manalishi
Angel
Spare Me A Little Of Your Love
Sentimental Lady
Future Games
Bermuda Triangle

Believe Me

It's from a 1974 radio show - so it's the "Heroes Are Hard To Find" edition of the band.

Here's what I have downloaded (from dimeadozen). I've put down the accompanying text in italics below:

Fleetwood Mac Live at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles 1974-11-30 Complete "Heros Are Hard To Find" Show from master reel to reel AUD tape (first time in circulation) Rare setlist, and one of Bob Welch's last shows! mp3 sample

This reel had become seperated from its broken tape box some time back, and had become misplaced and forgotten. The box had become damaged sometime prior to my possession in the early 1990's, and the tape had apparently been improperly stored as a result.

If you collect music the way I do, organization is a real problem. Wait, let's talk about that for a minute: most people who DO collect music the way I do generally have a spouse or family member, who either doesn't understand and says something to you about it, or... who sometimes takes matters into their own hands and rearranges all of your carefully arranged "**** piles" into a clean, tidy, out of the way place... where you can't find anything anymore.

Does this sound familiar?

Mrs. Doinker is NOT like that, she's a very understanding woman. She's even asked to be quoted here:

"Once in a while I get tired of being alone. Sometimes I come come and the first thing you do is go up on that dammed computer. Then, when you finally come to bed, you expect me to be bright and cheerful. But, I'm not. I'm smarter than you".

Great... just great... LOLOL!!!

As a reference to this subject, or if you are with me for the first time, look at the title page of this torrent:

http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-d...id=68263&hit=1

But hey, anyway, as I was saying, organizing stuff is a bit of a problem around here. So, the box destoyed itself, and the reel disappeared for over two years.

The reel was located open on a shelf while trying to reorganize CDr's. A faulty transfer had been made when the tapes were first received, and I found that. From there a search went on for the reel.

No amount of tape baking will work on this tape. It's mechanically damaged and the oxide is no longer there for parts of it. What you will hear is a reconstruction that took many hours to do. Recording levels were altered many times, and one portion was reconstructed from scratch with overlays from other material within the concert due to unrecoverable damage. It still isn't perfect, but it is listenable to.

Identifying the show was another matter. The tape only says "Shrine" on it, and there was nothing else to go by. Through the kind courtesy of FMLegacy.com, the date of 1974-11-30 was given as a possibility. On this date, Fleetwood Mac opened for the Jefferson Starship. A quick search turned up the Starship reel, and the dates matched.


It's a great set, with rarely heard material:

Setlist:

Disk 1
Intro - Coming Home
The Green Manalishi
Spare Me A Little Of Your Love
Sentimental Lady
Future Games
Bermuda Triangle (over 12 mins!)
Why
Nightwatch

Disk 2
Believe Me
BlacK Magic Woman
Oh Well
Band Intro Blues - Band Intros
Rattlesnake Shake
Hypnotized

Check out the "World Turning" style drum solo during "Nightwatch"!

Personnel:

Bob Welch
Christine McVie
John McVie
Mick Fleetwood
Bobby Hunt


Bobby Hunt's tenure with the band was extremely short-lived. It is sure that he only played with the band from September through December, and that he was the second, and final keyboardist before Welch's departure. This show was recorded during a very turbulent time in the band's history, right at the end of the band's second era.

With the acquisition of Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks toward the end of the following year, greater treasures lay ahead. But at the time of this recording, Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer's weird departures had dug such a black hole, that it threatened to put the group out of business forever.


Enjoy!

The only thing that bothers me:
I miss "Angel". Tracks 1 and 2 clearly seem to be annexed, leaving no space for Angel in between......

Wouter, the Shrine show you mention in your post is not the source for the "Bermuda Triangle" and "Will The Real Fleetwood Mac Stand Up?" boots. The performances on those boots are from a late 1974 radio show recorded in Sausalito, California. This thread from a few years ago should make everything more clear:
1971-1974 live recordings?
