Default That TV footage was head exploding material.

I myself was there in De Doelen in Rotterdam. I do not have any vivid memories except for a long number where Mick bent over his hihat for a long time, and just kept on playing just the hihat. Must have been The Green Manalishi where Peter plays his 6-string bass. Also vague memories of a tiny fellow behind a guitar: Jeremy Spencer. I was only 18 then, and it was one of my few live concerts (really loved Pink Floyd show too). Memory fades "As the years go passing by" (Deadric Malone).
I now live in Groningen (since 1971). People I know that attended the Korenbeurs show have nice stories about how the show suddenly stopped because some dude in charge of facilities shut off the electricity because he didn't like the music and felt it was too loud.....

My favorite track? One Sided Love from Den Haag.

Anyway:

A televised version of "San-Ho-Zay", and "Tallahassee Lassie" is enough to get angry at short minded TV producers in Holland. "One Sided Love" from Amsterdam is killer, to see it televised would make your jaw drop. Danny Kirwan's confidence dropped the longer he was with Peter Green. Those early months with FM Kirwan could belt a solo ("One Sided Love'). By Boston 2/70, Kirwan was so intimidated. You can hear the difference between the concerts. BTW I bet the song you remember with Mick Fleetwood on the Hi-Hat was "Coming Your Way". Peter Green didn't introduce "The Green Manalishi" until late '69. Maybe that was the concert you remember later in the year.
