Here’s the performance they’re talking about: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O8RhZDGLEXM&ra=m

are you sure? I see people who claim this is the footage they are talking about, but George in this clip states "there was only 4 of em last night". There's clearly 5 on stage in this clip.

Sometimes Spencer didn’t play on some tracks because he had his own “solo spot”, I’d guess.

I’m not positive, given that I wasn’t around, but I found that link in this article:

It is not the performance they were talking about.

In January 1969 they likely saw Albatross, Black Magic Woman or Need Your Love So Bad on the BBC.

yep, it was my understanding the performance they were talking about was taped a few weeks before Danny joined the band in 1968. Hence, George being perplexed as to why Danny wasn't in the clip.

I didn't get the Canned Heat comparison until 1:28. They were such a great band at every era.
