This was recorded in late 1970. i remember it well. I did not go to see him that week, but I remember the story. A buddy of mine worked as a waiter at the Cellar Door, and he told me that Young didn't want to be there. He had signed the contract months earlier, and then his career took off. He could have made a lot more playing arenas, but he was contractually obligated to do this gig. Needless to say, it was standing room only.

Just a week before Miles' historic run of shows there.

Brad, are you referring to Miles' Cellar Door box? I think that that was 1969, wasn't it?

You're getting something mixed up. Miles' Cellar Door recordings were made December 16-19, 1970.

Thanks, Jeff. Now that I think about it, I know you're right.

Now that this is out, the price has dropped to $9.99/$7.49.

There was an article in the post yesterday all about the cellar door. Miles was not mentioned.

Thanks for that heads up, Bertrand! I found it here:

I disagree with the last sentence. I don't recall anyone staying for more than a week.

You can stream it on Spotify. I think it's very good for what is basically a rehearsal.
