During this performance at the Fillmore East, captured by Robert N. Frissora for Bill Graham, Clapton quickly became friends with Delaney, Bonnie and their band. Impressed by their live performances, he would often appear on stage with Delaney & Bonnie and Friends during this period, and he continued to record and tour with them. Delaney & Bonnie returned to the Fillmore East and sold out to audiences.

Robert Frissora became Bill's right-hand adman to develop the hip and effective vehicles to reach out to the young, rock n roll, anti-war, love and peace movement. Without the internet, records of songs were the breath of that age. The Fillmore East turned into their megaphone. And the exhalations of dozens of now iconic groups and performers careers' echoed from that stage.

Along with CSNY there was Chicago, Hendrix, Zappa, Lennon, Janis, the Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Zeppelin and the 'house' band, the Allman Brothers. All highlighted with the psychedelic art lighting of Josh White of the Joshua Light Show.

This brief montage includes some of Bob's outtakes and others pics that made it to print and is overlayed with audio segments from a live event recording at the Fillmore East that night.
