I'm with you on everything  else you said, but I have to toss a flag on the
field here.  Fillmore  bills (West, East, and "original") were always
self-consciously eclectic,  right from the get-go.  (The "get-go" being 
anytime
from
66-68,  depending on which of the three Fillmores you wanna discuss.)    
Having
Isaac
there in the early 70s, even as headliner, wouldn't have so  much as raised an
eyebrow.>>
He would have been there in 1969, actually, and I wasn't doubting the  
eclectic booking policy of the Fillmores. There were cleaner-cut, less  psychedelic 
soul acts than Isaac who played the famed rock palace. Still, I  thought it 
was just interesting to point out...
