When one can establish that answer, you can narrow down the dates for this show. From the recordings I've heard, he certainly wasn't using the effect in 11/69.
Slipkid, I can give you a pretty good answer to your question. A few years ago I went through all the live recordings I had at that time of "Rattlesnake Shake": http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=14620

The first recording where Green uses a wah pedal on that number is from a show that's listed as 25 March 1970 in Vienna. There's one from a show listed as 15 March in Hanover where he is still not using it. So from the recordings I've heard, he started using the wah pedal on "Rattlesnake Shake" only in the second half of March 1970.
