Can't recall who the seeder it is, but there's someone who refers to "Dime Travel" in several of their uploads. I'm attempting the same sort of thing by uploading a taste of 2 consecutive nights at the Fillmore East-if you got there a little late! I'm doing that through upping recordings of Fairport Convention and Traffic at Fillmore East on 2 consecutive nights. The "late" part refers to the fact that Traffic headlined, Fairport was in the middle of the bill, and Mott the Hoople opened. I've never managed to hear recordings of the Mott set from Saturday, June 11th, but it does circulate. If you have that, please up it to "fill out the bill". The reality is that none of the recordings I'll share indicate whether they were the early or late show, and there were 2 shows each night.
The nights were a Friday and Saturday, June 10th and 11th. I know and remember this because the 14 year old me was taken to the early show on the 10th by my older brother. I'd just turned 14 less than a week before, so this might've been a birthday gift. The Fairport show from this night is a soundboard, but unfortunately this isn't. Given the age, it's a pretty good audience. It ran a bit fast, so I slowed it to the proper pitch (i.e. 40,000 Headmen is now in E, as it should be, rather than F, as it was). I'd say the Traffic set I hope to upload soon from the next night might be a slightly better listen, but this one isn't bad-and it is the night I saw, although I have no idea if this is the early show or late show.
This is Traffic's headlining set, and Traffic fans will see that they were heavily featuring the brand new John Barleycorn Must Die album. It was the 3 piece Traffic that toured for a few months at this point in 1970. Dates later that year would include Rick Grech on bass, and Traffic got considerably larger for the next few albums. I remember them moving around a bit during their set. Chris Wood would play the bass pedals on the organ if Winwood was out front on guitar. Capaldi might've done that too. It's long ago...Absolutely great stuff, as I remember it. Traffic was sort of a "gateway drug" for me in that Wood's sax and songs like glad opened me up quite a bit to the fusion and jazz that I grew to love later in the 70's. Winwood Rolled With It Back in the High Life from the mid 80's through the 90's, but even then he did songs that redeemed the other middle brow stuff he was selling boatloads of cds with. Other than that, I've always loved him, and I can happily say that he did a few very good albums in this century.
Please support him by purchasing his commercially available material, and by paying to see him live. I got this show in a cdr snail mail trade years ago, so thanks to the trader who made it available to me along with whoever recorded this in the first place.
