I haven't seen that one, but saw the first concert, wich is this one. Unfortunately, that wasn't the most inspired performance from Bloomfield

My band opened for electric flag many times, his playing in these videos is tame by comparison...

Had forgotten about those. Thanks!
I'd never seen this before so I was astonished. A little reunion with Butterfield in 1971? I wasn't aware of it (although I just read Ed Ward's bio of Bloomfield a few months ago.
I have to agree with @58Burst, though. The one night I saw Electric Flag in '68, the intensity of Bloomfield's playing far exceeded any recording of him with that band.
Damn, but I wish his live self at his peak was filmed properly.

Thanks for posting the videos. 
Man, even though as you say it's not MB's best performance, it's still pretty damn good. You guys are lucky to have seen him at the top of his game. Great player!
Btw, too bad there weren't stage tuner pedals back then. It must have been nerve wracking to tune to a piano when there's an audience waiting. No pressure!
