Arkansas/Delta blues great Albert King was booked as the opening act for the premiere presentation at San Francisco’s soon-to-be top rock-and-roll showcase, the Fillmore West. Jimi Hendrix and John Mayall followed him onstage, but King stole the show and became a regular attraction at the Fillmore West. He also recorded one of his most powerful albums, Live Wire/Blues Power, there in 1968.
