Huissen taped parts of five different shows - including one with Aynsley Dunbar behind the drum kit.
Hopefully Mayall will release all the shows in their entirety though he might opt to cherry pick from the different shows, especially as many of the songs are repeated from show to show, with some naturally more successful than others.
Of course, for the fans, hearing the differences in the how the numbers were played on any given night is one of the things we most look forward to.

The recordings offer an extended look at Green early in his career as he is finding his voice, and sometimes struggling to meet the expectations of both his employer and the audience. There are times when one gets the feeling that he would rather not have to stretch out a number past what he believes is necessary, but simply has no other choice.
The most surprising example is on the two versions of ‘Chicago Line’ which include a break for a bass solo. You have to believe that this was Mayall’s idea and not McVie’s.

When these tapes first surfaced, a huge piece of the puzzle was filled in.

Still missing however, (and I have to believe that there are tapes out there) are any live recordings from April to August of 1970 just before and after Green left Fleetwood Mac.
The one off with Nick Pickett, the shows with Little Free Rock & Ginger Johnson and those with Nick Buck – these were done before the sessions for “End of the Game” (are they echoes of these sessions heard on that LP?) – were the live sets similar; strictly improve, all instrumental? Were any of the numbers built on familiar material? Were the sets structured around individual pieces or was it just a few numbers that flowed freely until they ran out of ideas?
I only hope that we can someday find out the answers…
