A day after Bill Graham closed the Fillmore Auditorium, he opened Fillmore West. Paul Butterfield, Ten Years After, and Fleetwood Mac played the first three nights, one of which I attended (not sure which one, though). Fleetwood Mac was still a dirty British blues band .

raincoaster (Free subscription) | 06/12/2008

This is what Nine Inch Nails’s Starfuckers, Incorporated looked like in 1967, performed by The Monkees. It looked pretty good, actually. I have to say, the combination of YouTube pixillation and psychedelic staging is a marriage made in Heaven, or at least in Malibu. I actually have this album (Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones Ltd) on vinyl; [...]

Folks who know Elvin Bishop solely due to his 1976 Top Ten entry FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE (sung by a pre-Starship Mickey Thomas) are missing out on what true fans have long known---the former Paul Butterfield Blues Band axe slinger's real stock in trade is soulful country boy pyrotechnics and a downhome sense of humor.

Too serious for my own good...so here! And then there's this one... In my senior year in high school, over a three day weekend, I saw Paul Butterfield opening for Janis Joplin and then, on Sunday, Hendrix...and, my girlfriend complained about the nosie.
