Miles at the Fillmore - Miles Davis 1970: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 3

"For Davis fans of long-standing, this release will come as a welcome replacement to the Columbia vinyl release of 1970 and the label's 1997 CD release, both of which weighed in at around half the actual performance time. For example, the edited version of "Directions" from June 17 lasts just two and a half minutes on both the vinyl and first CD release, compared to the full ten and a half minutes released here. In all, over a hundred extra minutes of adrenaline-pumping and loud music are released for the first time.

This monster line-up was one of the most exciting of Davis' career: Keith Jarrett on organ and Chick Corea on electric piano simmer and burn throughout and are pivotal in firing Davis' imagination, particularly on "Directions," the incendiary show opener for each of the four nights. Jarrett had just joined Davis and his playing ranges from subliminal dabs here and there to ferocious attacks-as on the slow-burning, dark blues of "The Mask"-that would give ELP's Keith Emerson a run for his money.
