The Davis Sextet opened for Neil Young and Crazy Horse and The Steve Miller Blues
Band for two nights at the Fillmore East, March 6-7 (Friday-Saturday). There were
two shows each night. Columbia recorded both nights, but this show remains unissued.
This two-night gig is Wayne Shorter's last as a member of the Sextet. (He did remain
with Davis for a studio date on March 17.)
Between these two shows Bill Graham brought in a Sabrett hot dog vendor off the
street to feed the bands, the crew, and some members of the audience.
An off-speed excerpt (12:32) from the middle of the second concert circulates as
an "unknown 1970" session (issued on Electric Blue EB 006). It includes:
- Applause (0:22 - spliced in, only a few seconds in original)
- Fragment (4:02) of Miles Runs the Voodoo Down (= 10:32-14:56 of master)
- I Fall in Love Too Easily (1:29)
- Fragment (1:25) of Sanctuary
- Fragment (3:21) of Miles Runs the Voodoo Down (= 0:08-3:29 of master)
- Fragment (1:52) of It's About That Time (= 2:50-4:42 of master)
The Davis Sextet maintained a busy touring schedule throughout this period: Schwab
Auditorium, Pennsylvania State University (February 14); Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor
(February 21); Fillmore East, New York (March 6-7); Fillmore West, San Francisco
(April 9-12); Shelly's Manne-Hole (April 14-26); Both/And Club, San Francisco (April 28).
In addition to all this touring, Davis had various groups in the studio throughout
the first half of 1970 -- fourteen dates in the first half of the year!
