There is no record the Allmans were on the same bill. In fact it was a band called The Flock. The Christopher Hjort book claims the same.
From this website I'm about to link, the Allmans didn't play the Warehouse until March of 1970. BTW, you can thank me later.

So I think it's entirely possible that the Allman Brothers did not influence Fleetwood Mac's harmonized guitar attack. FM would've heard that new British band from 1969, Wishbone Ash before the Allman Brothers. Yet in either case, "Albatross" was recorded in October of 1968, before either band existed. Peter Green was influenced by "Sleepwalk", from Santo, and Johnny. That's where the harmonized guitar idea for Peter Green originated.
