Some also include "Woman of 1,000 Years" and/or "Trinity" as well. Seems like a sign that he was well on his way out by the time of the Gaelic Park show.

Mick Fleetwood's book mentions firing Danny in August '72, but he could be off on the exact timing. He also notes in the book that Walker and Weston did not perform with the band until a Scandinavian tour that fall, following a month of rehearsals.
There may have been more songs on this date, but this setlist features a number of pretty long songs. There's only one Danny song, but there's also only one Bob Song. Christine has two, but Danny and Bob split the vocals on the three Green ones.

Still, I can't imagine an early 70s setlist without Get Like You Used to Be.
