Don't hesitate to ask the person you're trading with, "Did you get your copy of the Tempe '82 show around the time of the Mirage Tour?"
David, I really think you should start a "Fleetwood Mac Bootleg Trading Advice & Info" type site.
You're extremely knowledgeable in regards to correct dates and correct locations, not to mention which shows are truly good quality and which are barely passable, and basically how to avoid some of the crap that's out there.

It would definitely be one of the most valuable Mac sites.
