Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te haerenga o te United States i te Hui-tanguru 1971 me te kaitito papapātuhi hou a Christine McVie kua uru mai ki te roopu, ka ngoikore a Spencer ki tona oranga i Fleetwood Mac, a kua whakahuatia i roto i nga uiui maha he kaupapa i te wa e whakarongo ana te roopu ki te rekoata o tetahi konohete tawhito. I a ia e rongo ana i a ia e waiata ana, ka mea ia, "He mea whakamataku te tangi. Ko te mea kino rawa". E ai ki tetahi korero a Mick Fleetwood, he uaua ki a Spencer te whakaora mai i te haerenga mescaline i pa ki a ia i te timatanga o te haerenga a US. I mua noa iho i te haerenga o te rōpū mai i San Francisco ki Los Angeles, i pāngia e LA tētahi tino
he ruu. I a ia e ngoikore ana te hinengaro, e whakakiia ana hoki e nga whakaaro kino kaha, i tino mataku a Spencer ki te haere ki LA. I tohe kore ia ki a Fleetwood kia whakakore i tenei waahanga o te haerenga. I muri tata mai i te taenga mai ki LA i te Hui-tanguru 15,1971, i te ra o te konohete i whakaritea e te roopu ki te mahi i te Whisky A Go Go, ka wehe atu a Spencer i te ruuma hotera i tohaina e ia me Fleetwood ki te toro ki tetahi toa pukapuka i Hollywood Boulevard. Kaore ia i hoki mai, i akiaki i te whakakore i te konohete o taua ahiahi i te wa i haere ai te roopu me nga mema o to raatau roopu ki te rapu ia ia. I etahi ra i muri mai, i kitea ia kua uru atu ki te karakia whakapono a nga Tamariki o te Atua, a ka kii ia kaore ia e hiahia ki te uru atu ki a Fleetwood Mac. Ahakoa nga karanga a te kaiwhakahaere o te roopu, a Clifford Davis, ki te whakatutuki i ana herenga ki a Fleetwood Mac, kaore i taea te akiaki i a Spencer kia hoki mai ki te roopu, ana me whawhai tonu ratou me te kore ia, i te tuatahi ka karanga a Peter Green mai i te reti hei tikanga ohorere, ana i muri mai ka whakawhiwhia ki te kaiwaiata hou a Bob Welch.
