Fellow Dimer and Co-Macanatic Bert (pernod here on Planet Dime) applied his bat-ears, and noticed that a major part of the recording ran considerably fast. Fortunately for all of us Macantatix and Greenionados, he was so kind and took it upon himself to do the necessary pitch correction for the first tracks by -3,5% (which is clearly audible) up to including "Albatross"; funnily, the remainder of the show obviously ran OK on my cassette copy. For details see info below. So, this is definitely an upgrade to my previous torrent.

This is something real interesting from a Peter Green nut's POV which I've always enjoyed a lot and wanted to share with all Macanatix here in Dimetown and elsewhere. Well, we get rare and stellar tracks galore: the show starts off with the rarely played "Albatross" single B-side "Jigsaw Puzzle Blues", and the affair grows mightily from there. Otis Rush's "It Takes Time" is another all-too-seldom played PG-cum-Danny Kirwan tour-de-force which they really should have recorded for a Mac album. And same goes for the next track, "I Held My Baby Last Night", of which we haven't heard many renditions, either.

"Rattlesnake Shake" was another fresh, October 1969 introduction into their set and comes with some "Madge" parts instead of the later common inclusion of "Underway" as officially documented on their February 1970 Boston shows. The long rendition of B.B. Kings "All Over Again" is another rarity and a prime example of Greeny's almost painfully deep feel for the Blues. Breathtaking, you bet - and just another lost gem with regards to an album recording! Too bad they didn't play this and "It Takes Time" on their Boston shows as they would have been recorded there. Sigh!
And finally we get to hear a veeeery long "Need Your Love so Bad", another popular though strangely not so often revisited number.

One of Mac's strengths were their ever changing set lists which makes collecting their live shows even more exciting. They obviously had a huge repertoire to draw from without trouble. Rather cool in my (Mac) book! :-)

Please do NOT spread this show in lossy formats - otherwise: enjoy, trade, share!

Uploaded to Dimeadozen on December 13, 2017 with big time thanks again to pernod-Bert by DocDondy for all fellow Macionados to enjoy.

(Greeny's) Mac ahoy!
