Captured during Miles Davis' groundbreaking fusion period, Live At Fillmore West 1970 documents the legendary trumpeter's electrifying performance at San Francisco's iconic venue on October 17th, 1970. This was part of Davis' historic four-night run opening for Leon Russell and Seatrain, as promoter Bill Graham capitalized on the jazz pioneer's successful crossover appeal to rock audiences following previous shows with the Grateful Dead, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, and Laura Nyro.
This 2015 European pressing on high-quality 180-gram virgin vinyl preserves the raw energy of Davis' septet as they explored the electric soundscapes that defined his revolutionary "Bitches Brew" era. The performance captures classics like "Sanctuary" and "Bitches Brew" alongside funky interpretations of Ray Charles' "What I Say," showcasing how Davis was pushing jazz into bold new territories and winning over younger rock audiences who may not have understood his musical origins but were captivated by his innovative sound.
