    Some comments on the remaster that I didn't have space for in the notes:
    I posted this show before (back in 2016) but revisiting it recently I thought it could be improved- the wide panned stereo had Corea's electronics threatening to overpower everything else; I adjusted the balance and narrowed the stereo image slightly for a more natural soundstage, re-EQed it, and adjusted the speed as it was running sharp. There was also a six minute stretch from 46:42-52:42 with very dull sound, probably as the result of tape damage. This was re-EQed separately and edited in. You can still hear the difference but it's much less jarring than before. Also, there were almost three minutes (1:01:31-1:04:21) where the stereo channels swapped over; this has been corrected. There still remain two crossfades (at 59:44 and 1:01:46), where someone has joined two or more versions of the recording together- these were poorly executed and there was no way to repair them. It's still very hissy- I reduced some of the very top end hiss but it wasn't possible to eliminate more without effecting the music. But overall I think this is a nice upgrade to a great show.

    I saw this exact band back in the early 1970s at a small jazz club on Divisadero Street in San Francisco. The name of the club was “The Both/And”. I recall having decent seats and a good view of the band. The sound was great as I remember. This was about the time “Bitches Brew” came out on vinyl, which I had already purchased and played. I recall being impressed with the group at the time, probably an understatement!

      Very cool! I know this band played the Both/And on April 28 (a Tuesday), two weeks and two days after this gig. It doesn't appear to have been recorded, sadly.

      It’s taken me a really long time to arrive at listening to this stage of Miles’ playing (maybe 20 years!). Having first listened to the Bitches Brew album, it took me a really long time to understand/appreciate these performances based on what I heard in the album. I wonder if you had a similar experience hearing these songs live!

    After seeing Miles Davis live with Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Airto, and Jack DeJonnette etc, I was definitely inspired by the experience. I recall that I didn’t conltinue to listen to or follow Miles work subsequently. I continued and still continue listening to the older material. I’m grateful that there’s so much available for listening! Therefore, I understand your experience!

    I bought Black Beauty from Tower Records ca. 2000/2001 and it blew my mind. As a young pianist, it was so inspiring to hear Chick's beautiful playing, the incredible synergy of Dave and Jack, and of course Miles' creative leadership holding everything together. It's awesome to finally listen to the rest of the sets from April 1970, it's rare to hear music of such urgency, intensity, and beauty. Thanks for taking the time to remaster the recordings!
    One cool historical thing I noticed is that these shows saw the final performance of several tunes: Paraphernalia (April 9th), Masqualero (April 10), Footprints (April 11 and 12), Agitation (April 12), No Blues (April 12). At least, this is the final performance of these tunes that we have recordings of. Thanks to Peter Losin's Miles Ahead site for the info!
    (Edit: Miles did record Footprints one more time, in France in 1991. But this is the final recording of the tune from this era of his band.)

      Miles also played the Fillmore West on May 7 and 8, 1971, with Mandrill and Elvin Bishop on the same bill. I was at the May 8 show after hitchhiking up from Santa Cruz against my father's explicit orders; my ride had bailed on me and there was no way in hell I was missing a chance to see Miles with that band. First of many times seeing him, including appearances at the Monterey Jazz Festival (with the "On the Corner" band), in LA (a Clive Davis artist showcase at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion), and in Chicago. Always awesome, mind-expanding, life-changing.

Different strokes...but to use the word embarrasses doesn't make sense. Two totally different genres. But that's just me. Here's another one for you, off the wall, apples/oranges. Listeners always gush over John Cipollina but Gary Duncan was clearly the superior musician who wrote Gold And Silver, Maiden Of The Cancer Moon, Calvary. Cipollina added his great flourishes but Mr. Pretty Boy gets all the credit...p.s. Duncan also wrote The Fool but Cipollina gets all the credit.

    Oh yeah, I love Grossman days. Miles got all the right guys; men who had natural tendencies which were in line with those of their predecessors. During ‘a silent way’, these guys started creeping in ; more with bitches brew, and new sound was cohesive and sounded like Miles somehow even though it was a ‘crazy’ sound no one ever heard before. With a totally new lineup, yet.

    Incredible, mind-expanding set - perhaps being on the same bill as Jerry Garcia and his comrades had something to do with it...Who is the (presumably) substitute bass player seen in two or three of the photos? Dave Holland's playing is astounding and shows how great he was on the dreaded electric bass!

    • @MilestonesArchive
      @MilestonesArchive  7 месяцев назад +2

      Which photos do you mean? If it's the ones at 3:41 and 6:26, that's Holland. I believe those photos come from the Fillmore West gig on April 10, the evening of the _Black Beauty_ concert. Dave's playing what looks like a black Fender Precision with a white scratch plate, it's the same bass he uses on the footage from the Isle of Wight in August: ruclips.net/video/hMYVvjoXf4o/видео.htmlsi=-m7YMkTjmbuqaJtw

      @@MilestonesArchive There are two or three photos with a bass player who to my eyes doesn't look like Dave Holland, but I suppose it may be Holland with a different hairstyle. I think he was growing out the perm he had in '69, so perhaps that explains it. I can''t imagine any bass player being able to step into that maelstrom! Though, as we know, Miles had to use substitute bass players in the Ron Carter years. .

It's hard to see what's going on with Holland's hair in those photos as he's a bit in the shadows. There are photos from that era where he's wearing a knitted cap/ beanie type thing, so maybe that's what we're seeing...
