Various Artists: Fillmore – The Last Days

Jon Tiven, Fusion, October 1972

NO PART OF this review is meant as a slur against the names of Bill Graham, Fillmore Records, or Columbia Records. I realize that the release was necessitated by public demand for memorial packages of this sort, and it must have appeared to be a nice thing to do at the time. Unfortunately, the record fails to express anything except for the fact that West Coast bands have deteriorated to the point of uselessness since the opening of the Fillmores not so many years ago.
