Here's the first set from the second 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 Lamb.
Also, by the way, note that I'm not sure at all about the order of the appearances on this day, and I'm just guessing based on the popularity of the different acts.
If you haven't heard of Lamb, don't feel bad, because they never got very well known. But one nice thing about posting these concerts from the closing of the Fillmore West is shedding light on lesser known bands that otherwise never got bootlegged. Keep in mind that all of these bands in this series were selected by famous promoter Bill Graham, so there's some quality control there.
Here's some excerpts from their Wikipedia entry:
"Lamb was a San Francisco-based rock group. They tend to be remembered only for their appearance on the Fillmore: The Last Days concert album. They issued three albums: A Sign of Change (1970), Cross Between (1971) and Bring Out The Sun (1971). ... Their music blended jazz, folk music, singer-songwriter pop, gospel, and even some classical and avant-garde influences. Reminiscent in spots of such varied artists as Tim Buckley, Judy Collins (in her art-song phase), David Ackles, and Savage Rose (in that band's most gospel-soaked period), their records were ultimately idiosyncratic enough to defy ready comparison to anyone."
And here's the link to the whole entry:
