When:

Short story:

Fleetwood Mac make their debut on the third day of The National Jazz and Blues Festival, Windsor, England, UK, Europe. The Cream, Donovan, Al Stewart, Jeff Beck, P.P. Arnold, Alan Bown, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Chicken Shack, Blossom Toes, Pentangle and Denny Laine play on the same bill.

Full article:

John Mayall : John McVie leaving the Bluesbreakers to join Fleetwood Mac was a part of the fluctuations at that time. It was a very creative time for British music, so I don't think anybody relied too much on keeping the same musicians. It didn't seem that important. Peter wanted to go and do his thing and off he went.

The same with Mick Fleetwood. He'd been with the band longer than I'd expected and wanted to do something more basic.

Carol White (audience) : We went to the Jazz and Blues festival in a big, black, vintage car which belonged to my boyfriend at that time. I remember, after the festival, we got back to the car and found it covered in flowers.
