According to website This Day in Music, on May 24, 1970, Guitarist and founding member Peter Green played his last gig with Fleetwood Mac when they appeared at the Bath Festival, Somerset, England.

However according to Mick's book, it was on May 25. There are contradictions with the location, too. Anyway it seems May was the final month for Fleetwood Mac with Peter.
One of Pete's last gigs with us was a BBC radio broadcast we did in the middle of May. Then a club date in London, after which Pete appeared as a solo with the Grateful Dead a few days later at a music festival in the country. A week later, on May 25, we played London's Lyceum along with the Grateful Dead. It was Pete's last official appearance with Fleetwood Mac as a member of the band. (There are those who were at this show who remember Pete, crazed on acid, trying to burn the amps backstage, but I don't remember this.) Meanwhile, the press was having a field day with our misfortune.
