Our Final Week - The Closing of the Fillmore West, Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, 7-3-1971, Part 1: Sons of Champlin

Here's the first set from the fourth day out 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 Sons of Champlin. 

Here's the Wikipedia introductory paragraph about the band:

"The Sons of Champlin are an American rock band, from Marin County, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area, formed in 1965.They are fronted by vocalist-keyboardist-guitarist Bill Champlin, who, after leaving the group in 1977, joined the rock band Chicago from 1981 to 2009, reforming the Sons of Champlin in 1997. They brought to the late '60s music scene in the Bay Area a soulful sound built around a horn section, Hammond B3 organ, sophisticated arrangements, philosophical themes, Bill Champlin's songwriting and blue-eyed soul singing, and Terry Haggerty's unique jazz-based guitar soloing. They are one of the enduring 1960s San Francisco bands, along with Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, and Moby Grape."

I have a bit to add about what the band was doing around the time of this show. The band was pretty unstable in their early years. For instance, they broke up in 1970, only to get back together and break up again in 1971. Then they got together again. Each time, the personnel changed, though Bill Champlin remained a constant. After their 1971 break-up, which happened in April, they soon reemerged, but with the name "Yogi Phelgm." A pretty bizarre name, even for that era! So that technically was their name during this concert. However, it was only a few months before they went back to being called "Sons of Champlin," so that's what I'm calling them here.

One song, "Poppa Can Play," appeared on the "Fillmore - The Last Days" album. (Note, by the way, they're billed as "Sons of Champlin" on that.) Everything else here is unreleased.  

This album is 40 minutes long.

I couldn't find any good photos of this band in concert from 1971 or thereabouts. The best I could come up with was a video of a song they did on a TV show in 1968. I took a screenshot of Bill Champlin from that, then used the Krea AI program to improve the details.
