I think the recordings we have from those few months, variable sound quality and all, are many of the band's finest. And all in all, the live recordings show much more of what this band was capable of than the studio tracks.

Do others here feel that this was the peak period for the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac? Or do you prefer an earlier period to this one?
I do feel that the last time with Peter Green is the BEST ever.....they were in sterling form, think about the BBC Radio One In Concert April 9th 1970... they didn't get any better than that.....
And this just proves that the Munich trip didn't put Peter in the care and attention category.....he was at his pinnacle even after that happened.....
