The band played for a small audience at the Trod Nossel Studios in Wallingford, Connecticut, on September 23, 1975. The set was recorded & issued on a double-album vinyl bootleg on the Smilin' Ears label, made in Brazil in 1977. The front cover is off-yellow with "Fleetwood Mac" printed across the top & a picture of Stevie in black top hat (same pic that ran in Random Notes in Rolling Stone). The back cover lists the set & another band photo.
The same show is turning up in all sorts of different versions, including something called "Who's the New Girl?" It's a good set & the band really roars through some of the songs, including "Blue Letter" & "The Green Manalishi" & a top-notch version of "World Turning" with incomparable guitar work. The rhythm section is good, too, whoever they are.
