Excellent remaster from FM stereo soundboard recording.
FYI:
Because of changes in the music industry and large growth in the concert industry (as exemplified by the increased prevalence of arena and stadium bookings), Graham closed the Fillmore East after only three years. The final concert took place on June 27, 1971, with three billed acts (The Allman Brothers Band, The J. Geils Band, Albert King) and special surprise guests (Edgar Winter’s White Trash, Mountain, The Beach Boys, Country Joe McDonald) in an invitation-only performance.
The concert was simulcast live by New York City radio stations WPLJ and WNEW-FM,
