Live At the Fillmore East December 1969

R-2805202-1382258021-4979Bits and pieces have appeared elsewhere, but this, reputedly is the whole show (or a replica of a whole show) or very close to it.

Hughesy's assessment: The studio albums are spotty, but I have a long-held soft spot for some of the set pieces. Here, in the live setting, they've cherry-picked the repertoire and the results, arguably, all The Nice you (or in this case, I) need. On that basis, Worthwhile, though one notes the occasional use of the Skip button.
