Monday, September 9, 1968 was a single-night booking at the Avalon: Steve Miller with the Sons of Champlin.

Four days earlier Miller had been second-billed to Chuck Berry at the Fillmore West under Lee Conklin's skulls; here he headlines the other hall. That kind of movement between the two rooms inside a week is ordinary for 1968 and is a reminder that the Fillmore/Avalon rivalry was a rivalry of promoters, not of rosters — the bands played both.

The catalog number is FD-680909, one of the date-coded catalogs the Family Dog used in its later period once the tidy FD-1 through FD-147 sequence had run its course. Those date-coded sheets are consistently less documented than the numbered ones: this one is recorded in two versions with no designer credited for either. That is an honest gap rather than an omission — the primary source says Unknown, and this chronicle does not guess.

Miller by September 1968 had three albums out inside eighteen months, several recorded in England with Glyn Johns, and was still years from the run of singles that made him a household name.
