Original notes:
Ok, this is a very nice sounding tape with some unique songs. I'd say the average sound of the recording is a VG but there are certainly parts where it exceeds that reaching VG/VG+ or even VG+. I used a 2nd gen I had to do the comparison...

“2nd gen”- (cass[2]>DAT[c]>cdr) [127:01] shn VG (came as 1st gen but it’s apparently a 2nd 
gen)

This tape is identical in sound to the version above but it has some things that are different
as well.

On CwtAE at 2:17 into the song there is a cut on this tape. On the 2nd gen above there is no distinct cut but I think there originally was. After listening about a thousand times to both sections it seems they are slightly different. To my ears the 2nd gen sounds a little off in terms of rhythm at the very point where this tape cuts. I think there may actually be a some fragments (like one hundreths of a second) missing on the 2nd gen. I am not 100% sure.
If there was a cut it was disguised very nicely. At the end of this song there is a couple seconds of applause on this tape, but not the 2nd gen.

The sound changes quite drastically on both this tape and the 2nd gen during The Embryo. There is a cut on both versions. On this tape there is a 1 second gap after the cut, but on the 2nd gen there is no gap, almost like someone cut the gap out perhaps, the contents are the same though. After the cut the sound becomes increasingly hissy, distant and sounds not as good as it did previously (is this another source perhaps or another recorder patched in?). This continues till the end of the song.

The good sound comes back when Main Theme starts. The contents of this song are the same except for the end where it seems there is again some applause present on this tape thatis not on the 2nd gen.

StC has maybe a second more applause at the end than the 2nd gen.

Now, becuase the lineage of the 2nd gen originally came as RTR(1)>DAT(?)>CDR>EAC>WAV>SHN and has since been said to actually be from a 2nd gen cass I am not gonna list this tape as a 2nd gen even though they sound the exact same. The 2nd gen lineage may still be wrong but I am 
unsure. Instead I will just list this tape as low gen although I think they are the exact same except for the couple differences I noted above. I think the '2nd gen' was edited from this source.

Apart from Cream, fans would probably agree that the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac were one of the best blues bands at the end of the '60s and early '70s. Fans who latched on to the band after 1975 (long after Peter Green had left) would find the later Mac a totally different animal. Sure they may play the older hits such as Oh Well and Green Manalishi but the newer lineup had more pop than the blues in them.

After leaving John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers in 1967, guitarist Peter Green had decided to form a new band with drummer Mick Fleetwood. The two wanted bassist John McVie in the band and even named the band "Fleetwood Mac" as a way to entice McVie. ("Fleetwood Mac" was a name coined by McVie.)

The group's self-titled debut album was released in 1968. The group followed up with a second album later that year, Mr Wonderful, which featured keyboardist Christine Perfect, then of Chicken Shack. By the beginning of 1969, Fleetwood Mac already had their third album out - The Pious Bird Of Good Omen - and in September 1969, they released Then Play On.

Fans at the Fillmore West in 1970 might have expected the band to play singles such as Black Magic Woman (which Santana turned into a signature tune) and the rock ballad Albatross. But that was not to be. Instead, it was a true-and-true blues-rock show with Rattlesnake Shake/Underway forming the backbone of the set, followed by the single Oh Well, capped by a raucous performance of Twist & Shout and Long Tall Sally. Though one could hardly call the last two songs the blues, they do show the group's R&B musical roots - before being completely taken over by The Beatles, Twist & Shout was a hit for The Isley Brothers while Long Tall Sally is a Little Richard staple. Even with a reputation as a great guitarist, Green was no slouch and he put on an invigorating display.

The source of this recording could have been a radio broadcast. Though not as pristine as your latter-day shows, the sound is sufficiently "bluesy" and excellent throughout.

But Green was beginning to suffer from schizophrenia (his use of LSD might have been a contributing factor) and his last show with the group was on May 20, 1970. According to the wikipedia, "during that show, the band went past their allotted time, and the power was shut off. Mick Fleetwood kept drumming."

*Original Notes
Back in 2006 I transferred this unknown gen tape from my collection (sent to me by Rory B. from Australia back in 1997), and archived the FLACs I made to DVD-R, but didn't really do anything more with it after that.  I had to double-check my old emails to make sure I had the right fileset, and not someone else's!  I believe tracks 1-5 are from Rec. 1, and tracks 6-10 are from Rec. 2.

I've made no changes to this recording other than the speed-correction, done via the pitch control on my tape deck.  I think I may have used multiple speed-correction values for different parts of the tape, in which case I probably did multiple recording "passes" which were then edited together at the sample level.  (However, there's some variation on the original tape, and the speed still isn't 100% perfect all the time.)  I believe there was also repeated material across tapesides, which I spliced back together.  Everything else is exactly the same as on the tape I received.  FLAC tags were added in August 2009.

Spectrum is clean all the way up (which should come as no surprise, since this is taken directly from cassette), with a discrete spike around 15k, possibly suggesting a Hi-Fi gen, leakage from a TV's flyback transformer in the vicinity, or something else that would generate a pitch in that area.  I make no warranties about the sound quality; the Rec. 1 is not nearly as good as other copies, and may be irrelevant to most folks.  But the Rec. 2 doesn't seem to have the ringing on Interstellar Overdrive, so I'm guessing this might not come from Bernard White's reel.  It's far, far hissier than BW's tape, but sounds a bit more natural and "raw" to my ears (possibly because there's an alleged minidisc gen in the 1st gen source of Rec. 2 recently torrented on Yeeshkul), as well as louder.  Others, however, may disagree. -- goldenband

CD Bootleg "The Man & The Journey In London" > EAC > FLAC level 5


*Original Comments: 

Daybreak and Work were not recorded.
This is the longest and lowest generation tape of this show known. No processing, filtering, or noise reduction was done to this, as you can probably tell. This recording might be a little fast (it sounds it to me, but I'm just guessing), and there is a nasty hiss in the 8k range that many circulating copies of this show have filtered out. Despite the hiss, this has clearer sound than other copies of this show.

Set List:

Disc 1: 

01. Afternoon (5:43) (Biding my Time)
02. Doing It (4:10)
03. Sleeping (5:27)

05. Daybreak (1:04) this is just a clock sound effect!
