Bloomfield, Mike
Fillmore West 1969
The late, great Mike Bloomfield is recognised as one of the finest and most influential blues guitarists that America has ever produced. Best known for his astonishing technique and the piercing tone of his solos, he was a member of the ground-breaking Paul Butterfield Blues Band, played on Dylan's 'Like A Rolling Stone' and backed him at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival when Dylan first went 'electric.' In 1969, legendary promoter Bill Graham would be left speechless by the sheer brilliance of Bloomfield and his band when they opened for Chuck Berry at the Fillmore West. As a result, he placed them at the top of the bill to replace The Byrds a week later! That spectacular performance that Graham witnessed on Sunday, February 2nd 1969 is presented here in all its unedited glory. Rox Vox revisits a timeless classic in blues rock from a golden era in music with a fully restored and professionally remastered original KSAN-FM broadcast. Presented with background notes and timeline photos. TRACKS: 01. Killing My Love 02. Holy Moly 03. It's About Time 04. Born In Chicago 05. Work Me Lord 06. Sweet Little Angel 07.
