This is really an audio documentry of the “Flo and Eddy” version of the Mothers on the road. Some of the material, specificly “Billy the Mountain” and the John Lennon jam, was originally intended, (or so I’ve heard) for a second disc of “Fillmore East, June 1971” album, plus some of the Rainbow Theatre show.
