A splendid bit of rock 'n' roll history. Apropos that Hendrix' dedication song was Machine Gun. Excellent audio quality, which wasn't always the case for Fillmore concerts. Tune in and drop out with Jimi Hendrix live at Fillmore East 1970 | Requiem for Fred Hampton and Mark Clark | Full Concert A musical and video interpretation of the December 4th, 1969 shooting of Illinois Black Panther leader Fred Hampton and by members of the Chicago Police and agents the office of state attorney Edward Hanrahan, an event that proved seminal in postwar American race relations social history. It is recounted through interwoven sound and film footage of the January 1st, 1970 concert performance by Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles, and Billy Cox (under the impromptu name, "A Band of Gypsys") at the Fillmore East theater in New York City's East Village and archival video of the Vietnam era. The short film features a vivid split-screen montage (evocative of Canadian director Norman Jewison's 1968 "The Thomas Crown Affair') of the turmoil, violence and pyrotechnical chaos that engulfed U.S. domestic and international politics in that epoch.

Can't think of what to play next? Need some inspiration? Here's a gold mine for folks. Bill Graham Show Archive When Bill Graham decided to close the doors to the Fillmore West for the final time in 1971, he knew there was only one band worthy of accomplishing the task of headlining the final show: Santana. The group was long a pet-project of Graham’s — he got them onto the bill at Woodstock before they even had a record out — and Carlos Santana himself viewed the promoter’s various venues as sonic laboratories. “We learned to create different experiments with sounds and rhythms and songs and moods at the Fillmore West,” he once told Rock Cellar. Other folks noticed too. “After a while I realized even Jimi Hendrix was listening to us,” Santana added. “All of a sudden Jimi Hendrix has congas and timbales too.” Despite the fact that the band was embroiled in personal conflicts, they played a hot set that night, filled with tracks from their soon-to-be-No. 1 album Santana III. The fact they had to go on after Creedence Clearwater Revival combined with the overwhelming sense of finality in the air certainly helped spur them to give it their best. The show finally ended in the wee hours of the morning with a lengthy jam on the song that helped make them stars “Soul Sacrifice.” As send-offs go, it doesn’t get much more impassioned or emotional as that.

The Grass Roots were probably best known for their '68 single, Midnight Confessions. Another pop band that featured brass, and another AM radio standard in '68. Found on their '68 Golden Grass: Their Greatest Hits LP.

The American Breed were a one hit wonder pop band, but a good tune with a great beat. This song was a standard on AM radio in '67 and '68. A must for your 45 RPM record collection back in the day.
