Humble Pie with Frampton on guitar (30 days in the hole!) and Allman Brothers "Eat a Peach".  I had those in 8 track.

Cool Bill. That's a very well equipped little collection of Fillmore East stuff. My 600+ vinyl albums are in storage  so It's hard to get my head around what I've actually got. Off the top of my head I've got the following in addition to many of yours.....
Live at Fillmore East-The Grateful dead....Damn it, I just noticed you've got it

Live at Fillmore East-Iron Butterfly

Four Way Street-Crosby Stills and Nash


I know there's more...I've got a Grateful Dead double Album called (I think) Coast to Coast which has live stuff from both Fillmores, East and West. There's a Mountain album but I can't remember its name, it's a live Fillmore album but I can't remember which one, East or West??
That's a good little niche collection but I'd expand it to include Fillmore West, they were both run by Bill Graeme. When I first moved to California in 1975, Bill Graham had a great shop / ticket service/ record shop at Fishermans Wharf in Sanfrancisco. You could buy old concert posters by R.Crumb and Mouse and all of those great artists for 10 bucks. I should have bought as many as I could as they're literally worth thousands of dollars each today. I bought a Grateful Dead tour t shirt that I've still got today.

I just thought of another one..........
Ten Years After--Live at the Fillmore East Alvin Lee, what a bloody guitarist!!

You guys have done good.There is a TYA in there. I didn't know Alvin Lee played slide guitar until I heard this one. I will go a bit harder to find Iron Butterfly as its a little expensive ditto on the Mountain bootleg (about$90). I have a Flying Burrito Bros one just released but not a great recording, a King Crimson and a LZ coming. Will get the 4WS soon too. Got enough Dead not to chase too many of the obscure ones. The last one I got was a taper, best thing about it was they opened with Morning Dew. Will check a liitle harder on Wolfgangs Vault. Thanks for the input

PS the best of the collection that weren't going around back in the day is the new release by Johnny Winter.

Yay Mothers Live, what a brilliant album

I agree, one of the greatest bands in rock history. My favourite is 'Just Another Band from LA' Frank Zappa was a genius.

My favourite was Joes garage, catholic girls, learning to blow catholic boys

Check out Zappa plays Zappa live 2009. Another one of the great underrated guitarists.
