This ticket stub comes from "The Jam," a series of performances done over two weekends in January and February 1969 at Bill Graham's Fillmore West (formerly the Carousel Ballroom). Michael played with an extended group that featured horns and included guests Taj Mahal, Jesse Ed Davis and Terry Haggerty as well as MB regulars Nick Gravenites, Mark Naftalin, John Kahn and Bob Jones. Selections from the shows were eventually issued on two Columbia albums, Nick Gravenites' "My Labors" and Michael's "Live at Bill Graham's Fillmore West." Courtesy of Don Aters

On the weekend of April 25-27, 1968, the Electric Flag opened for blues great Albert King, first at the Fillmore Auditorium and then at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. Though the Flag's first album had just come out, Michael was soon to quit the ground-breaking rock band with horns that he'd started a year earlier. A month after this gig, he'd be in the studio with organist Al Kooper, recording tunes for what would become "Super Session." Courtesy of Dan Collins |
