Laura Nyro - At Bill Graham`s Fillmore (2026)

An artist of quite stunning ability and one of the finest American songwriters of the era, the late Laura Nyro remains a sadly missed yet criminally underrated musical force.

Nyro achieved critical acclaim with her own recordings, particularly on the albums Eli And The Thirteenth Confession (1968), New York Tendaberry (1969), and Christmas And The Beads of Sweat (1970), but she additionally had commercial success with artists such as Barbra Streisand, Three Dog Night and The 5th Dimension – among others – who recorded her songs.

A consummate and intimate performer too, Laura Nyro’s concerts were spiritual and emotional events, and shortly after the release of her fourth record in late 1970, she played at Bill Graham’s Fillmore East venue in New York, on 22nd December that year. Supported by her then lover Jackson Browne, the entire show was recorded for live FM Radio Broadcast across the NYC area, and from the publicity garnered from both the concert, and more specifically by the live broadcast, Laura increased her status and standing significantly across the USA.
