Saturday, August 2, 1969 was night two of the Everly Brothers with the Sons of Champlin at the Fillmore West, on BG-184.

Don and Phil had been singing together in public since childhood — on the radio show their father ran in Iowa and Tennessee, where they learned the close two-part harmony that became their entire signature. "Bye Bye Love" was twelve years behind them by this booking, and their run on the singles chart was over; what remained was an influence so completely absorbed into the music around them that the Fillmore audience could not hear it as influence at all. The Beatles took the harmony directly. So did the Byrds, Simon and Garfunkel, and the Hollies.

Graham booked them the way he booked Chuck Berry, Count Basie, Muddy Waters and Bukka White: as the source, placed in front of people who had received it second-hand and often did not know it. The Sons of Champlin closed under them — the Marin County band with the horn section who appear across four years of these pages and outlasted almost everyone on them.
