Slipkid - these are the recordings I'm aware of from partial shows of that early '71 tour with Peter Green stepping in for Jeremy Spencer:
Fleetwood Mac – San Bernardino, 2/19/71
Station Man
Get Like You Used To Be
Dragonfly
Purple Dancer
I’d Rather Go Blind
Tell Me All the Things You Do
Fleetwood Mac – San Bernardino, 2/19/71 (from ‘70s Merely A Portmanteau vinyl bootleg)
Station Man
Tell Me All The Things You Do
(these are better sound quality than the more complete show above, also "TMATTYD" runs longer)
Fleetwood Mac – Fillmore East, New York City, 2/26/71
I’d Rather Go Blind
Jam
Station Man
Jam
Fleetwood Mac – Rock Pile, Long Island, 3/27/71
Jam
The sound quality for these last two recordings is terrible, possibly the worst of any bootlegs I've ever heard. But you're right, it does sound like some excellent playing....if only we could hear it properly! As far as these being the correct dates and venues - who knows? But I've read that the band did a lot of jamming during that tour - at Green's insistence - and the rest of the band got bored / frustrated by that.
