I'm with you on everything else you said, but I have to toss a flag on the
field here. Fillmore bills (West, East, and "original") were always
self-consciously eclectic, right from the get-go. (The "get-go" being
anytime
from
66-68, depending on which of the three Fillmores you wanna discuss.)
Having

there in the early 70s, even as headliner, wouldn't have so much as raised an
eyebrow.>>
He would have been there in 1969, actually, and I wasn't doubting the
eclectic booking policy of the Fillmores. There were cleaner-cut, less psychedelic
soul acts than Isaac who played the famed rock palace. Still, I thought it
was just interesting to point out...
