The Dead, the Allman Brothers, and Love play a 3-night hitch at the fabled Fillmore East. And what a run it was, with many ace collaborative moments captured on Bear’s reels.
The first night is quite famous in Grateful Dead lore. In the middle of the second set, Duane Allman and Peter Green joined the band, brilliantly complementing Garcia’s guitar work on Dark Star. The Spanish Jam that followed includes Allman’s keys, Butch Trucks/Mick Fleetwood on drums, and Danny Kirwin on vocals and guitar, and the culminating Lovelight—with Barry Oakley joining on bass—is completely off the charts. Strap on your headphones and try this one out.
