This is the first known recording of Gary Bartz with the Davis group, and the last of four "Fillmore at Tanglewood" shows produced by Bill Graham in the summers of 1969 and 1970. On this date the Davis Septet opened for Santana, and The Voices of East Harlem were also on the bill.

The video is missing the introduction and the first 2+ minutes of "Directions"; Graham can be seen backstage as the band walks off at the end of the concert.

This was a busy summer: Hampton Roads Coliseum (July 3); Central Park, New York (July 6); Harvard Stadium (July 8); Hollywood Bowl (July 10); Spectrum, Philadelphia (July 15); Randall's Island, New York (July 18); Madison Square Garden, New York (July 25); Shea Stadium, New York (?) (August 6); SUNY Stony Brook (August 16); Berkshire Music Center, Tanglewood (August 18). At the end of the summer the Septet played at the Isle of Wight Festival (August 29).
