Bear’s Sonic Journals: Live at the Fillmore East, February 1970 - Part II: 2/11/70
Okay, so this show is pure fire. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Statesboro Blues, Trouble No More, Hoochie Coochie Man, and Mountain Jam are all unrelenting master classes - Mountain Jam is sadly cut (remember the tape flip?) - but what’s here is magic. Having the unfiltered live tapes here shows some long delays between songs, but the second they hit it’s an onslaught, and in a great way. Nearly every moment of this is killer.

Bear’s Sonic Journals: Live at the Fillmore, February, 1970 - Part III: 2/13/70
The portion of the second show on this run is represented by three songs: a tremendous In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, the straight blues of Outskirts of Town which is missing the end due to a reel change, and the last 18 minutes or so of Mountain Jam, presumably from the reel change. What’s here is great. The band has a ton of energy though I liked what I heard from the first show a bit more.

On this one, we seem to get much of the show, and a lot of this I remember from the compilation and with good reason. This performance is full of big raw energy, with Hoochie Coochie Man and Whipping Post examples of pure raw energy. Mountain Jam here is really long, 30 minutes and that is with a reel change in the middle. Really that is the most spotty of the run because there are more lulls in its execution than anywhere else in the three nights of music represented in this total release, but the highs are really quite high so the investment is worth it.

The live stuff you’re listening to now is really almost embryonic compared to where some of the tunes end up over the next year and a half. Hell, in 5-6 months there’s incredible growth. I hope the Atlanta Pop Festival shows from ‘70 are on your list. Some incredible stuff.

Getting to the end of Ludlow Garage then Atlanta Pop- that’s basically a preview of where this seems to be going…from raw to perfected and very quickly.

Ludlow’s Garage is good. So you’re going thru the official vault releases then. Good deal. Where in the timeline is the second album? I know they were playing a handful of the tunes before the album came out. Hell, before even the first album came out in some cases.

Wow. It’s hard to believe they’re out there playing like this, THEN they record and put out the second album. After the live stuff you’re listening to, the studio cuts are gonna be a bit of a disappointment.

Live at Ludlow Garage 1970
Fast forward 2 months from the Fillmore East and this shows a band very quickly growing into a smoother band. Nearly everything here tops the Fillmore, with Outskirts of Town particularly amazing in its progression from what they were playing in February (we’re up to April 1970). It also helps that the set expands by nearly double, with the last full hour without a single vocal (15 blazing minutes or Elizabeth Reed followed by a 45 min Mountain Jam that builds into an all timer - even if 10 minutes of bass and drum gets a bit tedious). Dimples sounds really great here, and the songs in the set that have been there all along really show new energy as they develop. Great release!

Live at the Atlanta International Pop Festival - Part I: 7/3/70
As we continue to journey through the Duane Allman years at a purposefully snail’s pace, we find this band continuing to gel and improve. Day/night 1 here is them in full well-oiled machine mode - the solos are breathtaking- particularly on Whipping Post. The blast out the gate is Statesboro Blues and Trouble No More is just so good. Mountain Jam, while comparatively reasonable in length, is quite good. Elizabeth Reed amazing as always. Perfect music for this unending heat wave.
