Our Final Week - The Closing of the Fillmore West, Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, 6-30-1971, Part 4: Stoneground

Here's the fourth set from the first day of five days of concerts that closed the Fillmore West venue in San Francisco in 1971. (See my write-up on the Boz Scaggs set for general information about the closing.) This set features the band Stoneground.

Here's what their Wikipedia entry has to say about them:

"Stoneground was an American rock band formed in 1970 in Concord, California. Originally a trio, Stoneground expanded to a 10-piece band by the time of their self-titled 1971 debut album. The group appeared in two films and released three albums before singer Sal Valentino quit in 1973. Three other band members — Cory Lerios, Steve Price and David Jenkins — left to form the pop group Pablo Cruise. Stoneground continued as an act through 1982, with only Tim Barnes and Annie Sampson remaining from the early incarnation of the band. Barnes and Price led a re-formed Stoneground in 2003 and released a studio album the following year."

I just want to add that most of the songs here are originals, but they did some interesting covers. For instance, they started with two Bob Dylan songs, and also covered two Johnny Cash songs ("Get Rhythm" and "Big River"). But what really impressed me was a cover of "Total Destruction to Your Mind," a great but obscure song by the soul music singer Swamp Dogg. 

This album is exactly one hour long.

Stoneground is not that famous of a band, so I had a hard time finding any good color photos of them in concert. However, it turns out they appeared on the German TV show "Beat Club" in 1971. I took screenshots of each of the two lead singers, then Photoshopped them so both could fit on the cover.
