This was my first gig at MWG, and to the best of my memory I can confirm this was a full house, but Fleetwood Mac did not turn up. Mick Fleetwood and John McVie went on stage to say that the others were delayed or missing, so all went home with no show. This was not unheard of at that time. I hope somebody else can confirm this.

Oh my God I was there! And yes Mike Fleetwood did indeed announce the cancellation. I was 15 at the time and remember being sooo disappointed!! MWG was one of my favourite haunts and this archive has evoked soo many great memories with fab artists. Those were the days!

Jon Cleary Escalation was also on the ticket, played for hours!!! Audience had a free night. I was the roadie.

The Escalation were sooo good nobody gave a shit. Jon Cleary was a star but didn’t act it. I was with him through 71/72 and only played one gig as ‘Pussy’. Then, along with Spike from Worcester, we formed a Crosby Stills & Nash trio which was bloody good but only played two gigs. Jon in the end didn’t see any point in being in a band cos it meant replicating and not improving.
