Question on mid-'68 tour - maybe Jeremy can help?

Ok. We got there in early June 1968. It lasted about 6 weeks. A lot of time spent in the West Coast in LA and SF. The tourlist is right. Except we didn't do the Woburn thing in the middle. We did the NY Space club with Curtis Knight, then a couple of gigs at Steve Paul's scene club there and closed the tour back in Detroit. Danny joined not long after we arrived back in England.

While we wait for answers from somebody who was actually there at the time: I just read Mick Fleetwoods book - "Fleetwood" (1990), and he writes: "Fleetwood Mac arrived in America during the first week of May 1968 (...).We came straight to Los Angeles and played the Shrine Auditorium with The Who, Pacific Gas and Electric, and Arthur Brown. From There we went to San Fransisco,(....)We played the Carousel and the Fillmore (...)(on page 39).
The tourlist on this site mentions the 7th and 8th of june: the Carousell Ballroom, San Fransisco, and the 28th and 29th of june: The Shrine, Los Angeles. Then it mentions a concert in England - at the Woburn music Festival on the 7th of July and a concert in New York on the 13th of july in The Space.
Maybe it is a case of "if you remember the sixtees you weren't there"...
