Miles Davis Performing at Fillmore East, NYC, June 17, 1970 (IV)

Miles Davis recorded Miles Davis at Fillmore over the course of four nights from June 17-20, 1970. On the resulting double LP, each of the nights were edited down to single tracks, named after the day of the performance on which it was recorded. This shot is from the first night, Wednesday, June 17, 1970 which would correspond to the "Wednesday Miles" track on the album.

With typical athleticism, Davis reaches for a high note on stage at the Fillmore East. “This is where his gym training came in,” Craig says.

In 1970, Glen Craig was hired to capture images of Miles for an upcoming spread in Zygote Magazine, a feature designed to help expose Davis to a more mainstream audience. He spent three weeks shooting Davis in various locales including at home, at the gym, in the studio, and on stage.
