Just mentioned it in the "Rattlesnake Shake" thread. And, speaking of killer versions of "Rattlesnake Shake"....this one has to be high on the list, too!! (like there's a bad version? HA!)

Mick goes into overdrive when he kicks into the "Madge" section!

Wouter, what software do you use to capture streaming audio? I've never tried doing that.

I use Cool Edit Pro 2.0. It requires that your computer has a soundcard that enables recording. However, most modern devices do have that possibility.

Sorry, Wolfgang's Vault mentions that the show is from april 24 1970. Peters last show was on may 28 1970. Both at the Roundhouse, hence probably the confusion

The Penguin Tourbooks reveal the dates.

Sorry

Sorry

Only going by the description on Wolfgang's Vault, the May 28th date was canceled and the April 24th date WAS his last London show.

By 1970 Fleetwood Mac's well deserved reputation as one of the most exciting and original bands on the planet had them touring incessantly. These pressures, along with Green's shift in musical direction and increasing dismay with the monetary rewards of the band's work, signaled the end was near. Although Green would play several more UK gigs, the band's April 24 th gig at The Roundhouse Chalk Farm would be his farewell London performance with the group. They had hoped to stage one more London concert on May 28th with their friends, The Grateful Dead, who would soon be making their first UK appearance at Newcastle's Hollywood Festival, but the musicians union denied permission. Contrary to online chronologies and even Peter Green's authorized biography, that May 28 th gig never happened.

Do you do trades. Downloaded Cool Edit Pro but not sure how it works. Just did the demo and now have 19 days. I have played around with it a bit but no luck.

I checked out Cool Edit Pro briefly yesterday and it looked like the free trial version will only let you record a little bit of each streaming audio file, not the whole thing. Seemed like you have to buy the full version to be able to do that. I didn't spend much time researching that, though - is that correct that you need the full version?

I saw a couple of other free software options but they looked questionable - between some people saying they had spyware (though the software download sites show them as spyware-free) and others saying that the sound quality was not that good or that the beginnings of some files get clipped off, I didn't feel like taking a chance on them.

I use Sony's Soundforge. It's not cheap, but it does the job. There are free programs on the web that I have used on other computers. They are trickier to use, but do work. Try googling free streaming audio recorders.

I'm pretty sure, yes. I told him that there was supposedly an April show at the Roundhouse and then also a May and he said he was fairly sure he was at the May one. He also mentioned that he was talking to someone about the show a week later and they told my teacher that he was lucky-- Peter Green had left the band.

sounds legitimate to me, especially since he had no idea how big of a deal this news was to me.
