My reason for responding here was to offer MY opinion that Mike Bloomfield was one of the greatest rock/blues guitarists of all time period. Right up there with Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Johnny Winter. Mike played with all of these guys and they all have agreed with his virtuosity and brilliance as a guitarist. This not to mention all of the REAL blues guitarists Mike played and interacted with including Buddy Guy, B. B. King, Muddy Waters and many many others. Folks need to know .

@triplettam Yep--if anyone would have footage of Mike, it would be Bill Graham. I know there is a huge archive as you mentioned, but haven't heard anything about possible videos being relased. We can all hope. Much of Mike's best-ever playing happened at the Fillmore.

@McGarVision Thanks for this. I have "Super Sessions" but it's in storage. I read that someone bought Bill Grahams archives and came across a whole slew of tapes and film from the Filmore. Anyone ever heard of them being released? Mike Bloomfield should be on a bunch of those.

Oct 68, Ft Hood, Tx, up all night all alone with this record, First trip ever, never forget it, great album, both sides, Stills fantastic in his own way but side one was the best

FANTASTIC! Very well done. Thank you for sharing.
-
And yet at this time Mike was so deep in Heroin that he couldn't finish the Super Sessions album and Stills had to take over for him. You would never know it. Bless ya Mike

Bloomfield sure could play! The original vocal track by Howard Tate is a nice piece of music too.

Great video - thanks for posting. Does anyone have a definitive list of what live performance videos exist of Bloomfield? After trawling round for ages I can only find a few clips from Chicago 74 and the Electric Flag 'Wine' performace...

@s1914 Sadly, your list is just about complete--except for a subpar performance segment on Italian TV and some pretty decent footage of Mike in action with Dylan at Newport on the DVD "The Other Side of the Mirror"
