Yes, I've read that...and it repeats virtually word for word what is written in a late-'70s book about band ("Fleetwood Mac: Rumours n' Fax" by Roy Carr and Steve Clarke):

"Mac made do with a set thrown together - "Black Magic Woman," an hour's jamming and the occasional vocal from Danny and Christine."

No mention as to the source of that info, though a couple of quotes about that tour from John McVie follow this in the book. The set description pretty much matches with the few recordings from parts of several gigs that have survived from that tour. No mention of a single four-hour long jam though, either in this book or in Mick Fleetwood's.
