John McVie's first gig with Mac

We all know (I guess) that the first Fleetwood Mac performance was at the Windsor Jazz & Blues Festival in August 1967. That was the very first lineup with Bob Brunning on bass. Does anyone know when and where the first gig with John was played?

5th of September 1967, Marquee, London

That's what I found

This is what Christopher Hjort noted in his book on this matter:

Saturday 9 (1967)
Ram Jam Club, Brixton, south London
(. . .) Tonight's Ram Jam gig may well be John McVie's debut with Fleetwood Mac.

Thanks again. I have a feeling November 16th 2019 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas could well be added to that list as the final hurrah. Coincidentally that's my birthday - and I took it as a present from above that the two year fiasco of a tour with nothing new to promote (except its guitarists) was over.
