• Track Listing

On October 4 and 5, 1968—in between the releases of their early smash singles "Dance to the Music" and "Everyday People"—Sly & the Family Stone played two roof-raising shows per night at the one and only Fillmore East in NYC. If you weren’t there, you’ve almost definitely never heard those breakthrough performances; just recently (some 47 years later), selections from those unreleased performances came out on double-vinyl. Now, you can hear all four concerts on 4 CDs. What a thrill to behold: a rising phenomenon on stage doing "Dance to the Music," "Life," "M’Lady," "Are You Ready," "Won’t Be Long," "Color Me True," "We Love All (Freedom)," "Music Lover," "Love City," "Chicken" (which clocks in at over nine minutes); an extended rendition of "St. James Infirmary" and more previously unreleased live recordings from the breakthrough year of Sly & the Family Stone!
