LIVE AT THE FILLMORE, 1968

Well, this is historically interesting. And you can certainly hear that this band was something special from the beginning. But I find a lot of it too repetetive for normal listening. Good background music though, and great for a party with dancing. Being at the original show must have been a blast. Still, the musicianship is top notch, with Carlos already showing us his style that is practically already in full flower (though he would improve over the years, but still retain the same style). Rollie is great on the organ and vocals, and Shrieve is a fantastic drummer as always (one of my all time favorites). I can' call this prog by any stretch, but it is a fun album, especially if you want to get the ladies dancing at a party. But since you can dance to it, it must not be prog, right? :-)
