 Great movie, cool soundtrack May 2, 2007
I enjoy the CD set very much. Santana's performance of "In a Silent Way" by Miles Davis is worth the price of admission right there. This version goes into my all time favorite tracks list - the young Neil Schon is spactacular. Honorable mentions go to Elvin Bishop, the later day Quicksilver, and critically important, Bill himself. My question is, where is the DVD? I saw it on cable televsion several years ago and before that about twenty years ago in a theater. There is likely some legal BS with the estate preventing the release. Please get past it and make this available - that is the real time piece.
 More than mere nostalgia... April 18, 2005

although flashbacks aplenty are there to enjoy for anyone who once felt the rumble of those stacks of marshal and custom amps all those many long years ago. i once told jerry garcia that all of their (the ded's) songs sound alike to me and he grinned real big&said, "it's all the same song," so i'm not gonna complain about this anthology's scarcity of ded tunes; instead i have to applaud its inclusion of precious rarities like hot tuna and elvin bishop.
Live recordings are something i habitually eschew, and rare are productions for which i make excceptions; the clarity of sound quality throughout all of the recordings here is superlative!
this collection is bill graham's crown of glory, and the brightest gem has got to be the live and extended version of white bird by it's a beautiful day. having awaited the re-release of that group's original recording on ceedee for so many moons, those who remember the summer of love are sure to agree that the virtuoso rendition reverberating through that palacial sanctuary of rock culture surely transccentds the studio version everryone is so familiar with and enraptured by.
buy it - or, better yet, come on over to the olde cult compound and listen to it here!
Days Gone By January 30, 2004

I bought this years ago on vinyl, and I still have it. The LP came with an authentic poster and ticket, an informative booklet which included some great photos and a listing (by date) of every show that ever played the Fillmore, and a bonus 7" 33-1/3 rpm "Words With Bill Graham" disc. The CD reissue, of course, doesn't give you the poster nor ticket, nor the extensive booklet, but the interview is included. Musically, this album is excellent. Some performances may be marginally better than others, but many are brilliant, and all were chosen by the artists themselves. The recording quality is amazingly good, especially when compared to many other live recordings of the period. What's also cool is that the album presents a number of very talented artists who were somewhat obscure at the time and almost unknown today-- but who deserve not to be forgotten. Alongside of those are great performances by bands and artists who went on to become legends. The incredible version of "Baby's Callin' Me Home" by Boz Scaggs is alone worth the cost of the set. The Dead's cover of "Johnny B. Goode" that appears here is the best I've yet heard-- far superior, to my ears, to the already great version that appears on "Skull & Roses". In addition are great performances by Quicksilver, The Sons, Santana, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Cold Blood, Tower of Power-- the list goes on. The "Final Night Jam" that closes out the set (with Taj Mahal, Boz Scaggs, Elvin Bishop and a host of others not even credited) is way cool. It all ends with "Greensleeves", often played at the end of the night, amid the sounds of the audience leaving the auditorium for the last time. Very poignant, indeed. Some may pan this album for various reasons, including the very inclusion of some of those more obscure artists. But I think they are missing the point. This is a documentation of a moment in time and history. And I for one would not want to be without it.
Need to Get the Record Set August 25, 2003
7 out of 12 found this review helpful
I would buy the record set if you can find it-its out of print. I was there at the Fillmore during these shows and at numerous other Fillmore West and Fillmore Auditorium shows from 1967 to closing in 1971- $3 a show and you get a poster. 3 bands-two sets each -shows usually ended at 2:30Am The record set has a poster, an actual ticket which you could not keep at the shows, and an outstanding booklet listing many pictures and all the shows at the Fillmore and Fillmore West---But if you cannot find the record set-get this at least!!!! I was there and I have never seen anything like the Fillmore since then-I have been to the Fillmore several times in the past 10 years-but it is not like the original times-good but not the sixties.
True to the Filmore sound and experience! March 20, 2003
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was there for two of the last four days of Filmore West and this set carries on the experience that existed. It will bring back memories for anyone attending any of Fillore West shows including the 'apple barrel' and the free posters and poster cards handed out. The record set gives you a cool poster which isn't included with the CD set but it's well worth the cost! I was a Quicksilver, Cold Blood, and Tower of Power fan which certainly was covered on this CD. If you are an old hippie you will enjoy it too!
