MILES DAVIS
Footprints Live 1970 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Fillmore West Auditorium, San Francisco, CA; April 12, 1970. Ex soundboard stereo.

We first came across this show through the Miles-Trees.org fan community. It was one of several shows from the Miles At The Fillmore 8CD set. The April 12, 1970 show was listed as not the best quality soundboard. But later an exceptional tape of this same show surfaced. This is the upgrade of the Miles-Trees version.

The popularity of this show can be seen by the number of silver-pressed bootlegs, among them are Another Day Of Black Beauty (Further Along) and 12th April At Fillmore West (Mega Disc Legendary Collection).

We have shared shows from this period of Davis’ career before when he was lean, mean and kickin’ ass. At the Fillmore, Davis opened for the Grateful Dead. What a mistake, it should have been the other way around.

You can read what we’ve said before about the jazz-rock sound of Miles Davis here.

Thanks to Milesian who shared this in 2005.

Technical Note:
During the transfer from DAT to hard drive the source DAT snapped. The portion remaining after the break was then copied to hard drive and 1:58 from the Miles Trees source was spliced in to complete the recording. Channels were swapped and pitch adjusted on the Miles Trees portion to minimize differences in acoustic character.
