Grootna only played the Fillmore East twice, on two consecutive
nights at the bottom of a bill that also included B.B. King and
Moby Grape. This tape was recorded on the first of the two nights,
and was among the last concerts Bill Graham produced at this fabled venue.
I got this set from a trader who received it from the taper. The sound quality
is fair, distant, yet listenable and good for 1971. For fans of this band,
it's an obvious must have, since only one other live tape circulates.
