Miles At The Fillmore – The Bootleg Series Vol. 3 features four historic perfor-
mances from the Fillmore East and West in 1970, at a time when Miles Davis
was single-handedly bringing jazz into the commercial rock era.
The visionary Bill Graham had booked Miles on a bill with The Grateful Dead
at the Fillmore West and with fellow Columbia artist Laura Nyro in June
1970. The latter recordings are the earliest documented live performances of
Miles’s band when he hired the keyboardists Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett,
along with saxophonist Steve Grossman who had replaced Wayne Shorter.
The rest of the rhythm section – bassist Dave Holland, drummer Jack De-
Johnette and percussionist Airto Moreira – were the backbone of his band
throughout this explosive period.
Curated by Carlos Santana, this set features fascinating firsthand accounts
and profound insight into a seismic shift in American society, music, and
culture. In a rare, in-depth interview, Miles was “so excited about the music
that he wanted every set, every note made available to the public…” The
searing heat of these concerts, originally issued in severely edited form, are
now made whole. This set includes several bonus tracks like Wayne Shorter’s
“Paraphernalia” and “Footprints”, an early version of “Miles Runs The Voodoo
Down” plus a rare encore performance of “Spanish Key” from the Bitches
Brew album.
The Bootleg Series Vol. 3: Miles At The Fillmore is available as a deluxe 6-LP
boxset, housed in a lift-off box. This 6LP-set includes printed inner sleeves and
a 12-page booklet with extensive liner notes and rare photos.
