Caught on film before an estimated 600,000 festival-goers, this ferocious 1970 set features Davis violently dragging jazz into heavy rock environments. Fueled by multiple keyboardists and the searing saxophone of Gary Bartz, the dense, abstract improvisations pushed massive festival crowds far past their comfort zones.
