Last Days At The Fillmore - 1972 - 6/10

Documentary about the final five days at Fillmore West is, in many ways, more Bill Graham than the musicians.
Bill on the phone, walking the hall, reminiscing, etc …
Split screen is overused and is not well done. Meaning this is not an immersive experience.
Performances, what there are of them, are mostly crowd favorites.
Apparently the DVD differs from the theatrical run and subsequent VHS, trimming some music, as well as volatile confrontations between Graham and musicians.
The vinyl and CD souvenir albums have an additional 40” of music.
Many of the concerts from this week can be found at Archive in toto.
This is not essential viewing, and I always recommend Monterey Pop first.
