Great days indeed Rhubarb!
Most of the blues clubs on the circuit in the late 60's were very small and as you state 150-200 persons max were the order of the day. Saw all those bands you listed plus Jethro Tull, Ten Years After, Duster Bennett and Blodwyn Pig at the various venues I listed. Used to get into the gigs for about 2/6d -5/0d (pre decimal in those days) which makes the mind boggle somewhat now.
I remember the Mac used to turn up in a couple of white Ford transit vans which had messages scrawled all over them by fans usually in lipstick, plus a couple of dents from gun target practice. Somebody told me that Mick-I think?-used to take aim now and again! Dont know if thats true or not, but it sounds like the sort of thing they used to get up to.
Yes it did happen Rhubarb, but a very long time ago indeed.
