A dim look at some good stuff

The music of the Fillmore West closing concert is interspersed with a bit of documentary about Bill Graham. The music isn't reproduced too well (if I can judge by my cable-tv reception), and there is evidently a split screen that is lost (or more irritatingly, almost lost) in the video version. But Bill Graham is fascinating, there are some unjustly-forgotten musical groups such as Cold Blood, and we're reminded that once upon a time Jefferson Airplane did harmonies and Santana was a group, not a guru.
