Miles Davis

Fillmore East - March 6, 1970 Unreleased Shows - Miles Opens For NeilFrom The Boat's March '07 ArchivesRE-UPPED You’re at the Fillmore East to see Neil Young & Crazy Horse and The Steve Miller Blues Band when out walks the Miles Davis Quintet (Miles, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette... with Airto Moreira). It's your first experience in front of the coolest SOB on planet Earth, but... these historic March 6th, 1970 shows were also the first time for Miles in front of a rock and roll audience. It's enough to make you invest in a Way Back Machine. This was MDQ, circa Tribute To Jack Johnson, Live-Evil and the essential Cellar Door dates, though... Davis' band line-ups were in a constant state of flux during this period (Shorter would leave the band within a week of this date). The following night's shows were released in 2001 by Columbia and entitled It's About That Time. These shows, however, have yet to be officially released. The sound here is real good, and the breathless interplay between Shorter and DeJohnette is just too good to be true. The Quintet/Plus smokes with the intensity of a band that sounds like they were playing at The Fillmore to prove something to somebody. And did. (@192) Links In Comments EARLY SHOW
