J-Card CommentDAT to CD conversion by David Hollister <Attached: Notes from David Hollister, the source of the wonderful show!> From: David Hollister Subject: A show to be heard Hi folks, I am just now putting the finishing touches on a 3 CD set of the Fillmore West show from 6/7/70. This show is very interesting, and in my opinion is crying to be heard. Here's some interesting tidbits about the show. Set list (broken down by CD) CD 1: Acoustic Set Don't Ease, Silver Threads, My Dog Has No Nose, Friend of the Devil, Candyman, Cold Jordon, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Cumberland Blues, Me & My Uncle, New Speedway Boogie CD 2: Electric Set Cryptical -&gt; Drums -&gt; Other One -&gt; Cryptical -&gt; Drums -&gt; The Main Ten -&gt; Sugar Magnolia* CD 3: Electric Set (continued) Louie Louie Jam, It's A Man's World, Mama Tried, Top of the World, banter, Cosmic Charlie, Casey Jones, Good Lovin' -&gt; Drums -&gt; Good Lovin' The total running time is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, give or take a few minutes. Note: There is a cut (reel splice I assume) during Casey Jones. Interesting info that makes this show so cool: During the little drumming interlude prior to the Other One, there is some woman you can hear ranting and raving and generally going on about Viet Nam. It would seem the band kind of lets her state her piece in its entirety before going into the Other One. Very cool. The whole second CD is very cool. The jam after the Cryptical reprise is great. It goes into a kind of lulling drum beat which goes on for a few minutes (what I called Drums again, even though it isn't in the official setlist) before Phil takes it up and you hear the definite Main Ten bass line. A great Main Ten jam that goes on for about 4 1/2 minutes or so before Bobby takes it into Sugar Magnolia. First version of Sugar Magnolia. Very cool :) No, it doesn't rock, but up until now, the earliest version I'd ever heard was the one from the famed 6/24/70 Cap Theater show, which I thought was unusual enough to be of historical significance. This one is also interesting historically. Between Top of the World and Casey Jones the band sits around talking to the crowd and deciding what to play next. What kills me is Bobby's comment: "Hey, there's a guy over there, he's always over there and he always yells out 'Golden Road!'. I wanna know who he is, because man, you really take the cake. To tell you the truth we've forgotten how to play that song" or something like that. You can also hear several suggestions for songs, among them "White Rabbit", which cracks up the crowd. Great stuff. Let's get it out there. The acoustic set is pretty straight-forward, but it's the electric set I think that really shines. The boys just seems to be having a great time the whole show. Editing: Recorded with SoundForge. Burned to CD using CD Architect. The only editing was to remove approximately 4 minutes and 22 seconds of repeated material on the DAT during the banter between Top of the World and Cosmic Charlie. I also removed a couple of minor pops. Other than that, no editing was done. The breaks between each CD were breaks that were already present on the DAT. The only addition was 2 seconds of silence prior to the start of disc 3.
Tech NoteFlaws: There is a reel cut during Casey Jones and It's A Man's World.

Interesting info that makes this show so cool:

During the little drumming interlude prior to the Other One, there is some woman
you can hear ranting and raving and generally going on about Viet Nam. It would
seem the band kind of lets her state her piece in its entirety before going into
the Other One. Very cool.

The whole second CD is very cool. The jam after the Cryptical reprise is
great. It goes into a kind of lulling drum beat which goes on for a few minutes
(what I called Drums again, even though it isn't in the official setlist) before
Phil takes it up and you hear the definite Main Ten bass line. A great Main Ten
jam that goes on for about 4 1/2 minutes or so before Bobby takes it into Sugar
Magnolia.

First version of Sugar Magnolia. Very cool :) No, it doesn't rock, but up
until now, the earliest version I'd ever heard was the one from the famed
6/24/70 Cap Theater show, which I thought was unusual enough to be of historical
significance. This one is also interesting historically.

Between Top of the World and Casey Jones the band sits around talking to the
crowd and deciding what to play next. What kills me is Bobby's comment: "Hey,
there's a guy over there, he's always over there and he always yells out 'Golden
