San Francisco, CA.
“After Bitches Brew, Clive Davis put me in touch with Bill Graham, who owned the Fillmore in San Francisco and the Fillmore East in downtown New York. Bill wanted me to play San Francisco first, with the Grateful Dead, and so we did. That was an eye-opening concert for me, because there were about five thousand people there that night, mostly young, white hippies, and they hadn’t hardly heard of me if they had heard of me at all. We opened for the Grateful Dead, but another group came on before us. The place was packed with these real spacy, high white people, and when we first started playing, people were walking around and talking. But after a while, they all got quiet and really got into the music. I played a little of something like Sketches in Spain and then we went into the Bitches Brew shit and that really blew them out. After that concert, every time I would play out there in San Francisco, a lot of young white people showed up at the gigs.”

Silent, first off thank you so much for the updated links! For some reason though, this one won’t download for me. Maybe it’s just me?
ReplyDelete@Anon...Came up and DL'd just fine for me. May have been something temporary with Mega or just high traffic. Try again you should be fine.
ReplyDeleteTried again first thing this morning and it downloaded with no issue! Thanks again for these gems!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Glad you were able to get the DL.
DeleteHello, When I downloaded it , i got the file "Miles Davis - Live at Fillmore East 1970" instead of Fillmore West, I would appreciate you fix it, this concert interrests me , as I'm in love with both the Dead and Miles. Thanks in advance
