Live at the Fillmore

CD1 (60 min) (CD2 is Live at the Fillmore - March '68)

Remaster Quality: This was an audience well back in the theatre. The guitars and drums overwhelm the PA so vocals are a bit distant. Noise has been reduced with the hard pause/starts tidied up and the usual bottom end boost to give some deep bass prescence. Sound is now good with the guitar realistically dominant but bass and drums clear.
Comment: This is when they started getting into the long jams so it is indispensible. Spoonful is a very different version so worth it for that alone.

CD2 (60 min) (CD1 is Live at the Fillmore - Sept '67)

Remaster Quality: A good, well balanced audience tape as the PA is excellent giving a good balance to the vocals and drums. Clapton now has a much cleaner sound while still being loud. The remaster has reduced noise, boosted the deep bass and tided up the hard stop/starts (same recordist as in '67!). This is the complete first set plus Stepping Out from the 2nd. There were recorder problems and Stepping Out has had to be heavily bass filtered to get rid of low frequency noise. It is now listenable. There exist only poor quality fragments of some of the rest of that set.
Comment: They were playing in a very different mode that night - extremely interesting and rewarding. Just shows they were still experimenting.
