I think we had this discussion here some time ago. I have been searching like mad but cannot find the thread. It's probably one of those 'threads within thread'. I remember making a (thoroughly anal retentive
) list of all Fleetwood Macs shows in DK to try and figure out what was what and posting it here.
I don't think FM played "Jumping at Shadows" live until sometime in 1969. Also Mike Vernon acted as compere at the '68 show in Copenhagen, whereas the 25th of March '69 show clearly had a danish compere (actually someone called Hans Otto Bisgaard). I remember one of the ledgies sending a soundbite for us scandinavians to desipher when we last discussed this, and the compere clearly had a very danish accent. Still I agree that the rest of the songs are more like their '68 live material, though.
The journalist who wrote about the concert in one of the major newpapers said that the concert ('69) was quite boring and uninspired until they played 'Tallahassee Lassie', 'Great Balls of Fire' and 'Long Tall Sally'. I don't see these songs on Estranged4life setlist. Maybe that's why the second set is incomplete?
About the lack of material from 'Then Play On': as far as I can see Hjort makes a note that only four days of recording is booked at De Lane Lea Studio (between the 18th to 21st of February 1969), before they have to go on the road again (just being back from the US tour). After a gruelling tour of Europe and Scandinavia they go back to recording on the 18th of April and through the summer.
(This is a schedule from Hell, no wonder they went mad).
