The Cellar Door Sessions 1970 is a boxed live album released in 2005. It compiles six of ten sets that were performed over four December nights in 1970 at the D. C. nightclub the Cellar Door. Despite similar formatting, it is not a part of the Miles Davis Series of box sets.
Significant portions of Davis' Live-Evil were edited and compiled from the music that appears on discs 5 and 6. The sections labelled "Improvisation" into "Inamorata" are most commonly known as "Funky Tonk," but were released on Live-Evil as "Inamorata and Narration by Conrad Roberts."
Live-Evil and this collection are the only official recordings of John McLaughlin's live performances with Miles Davis.[5]
