“The Band of Gypsys was a group about growth, and evolution without ego,” bassist Billy Cox told Rolling Stone in a new interview. “It was just musicians loving each other and loving the music. It was another way to express the music. I distinctly remember you could see people with their mouths hanging wide open about five, six, 10 rows. They had never heard anything like that, but evidently it had sounded good to them, because we got almost a standing ovation after every song.”

 

Songs for Groovy Children: The Fillmore East Concerts will be released on Nov. 22 as five CDs and eight vinyl discs, with Legacy Recordings noting that the collection “boasts over two dozen tracks that have either never before been released commercially or have been newly pressed and newly remixed.”
