Black Beauty: Miles Davis at Fillmore West is a live album by American jazz recording artist Miles Davis, recorded on April 10, 1970, at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, when Davis opened for the Grateful Dead[10]

The album was first released in 1973 on vinyl LP in Japan,[11] and reissued in 1986 on a double-CD format in Japan (50DP 710/711) and then reissued yet again as a 2CD digipak in the US in 1997. Until 2001 with the release of Live at the Fillmore East, March 7, 1970: It's About that Time, it was the only commercially available live Miles Davis performances of complete compositions between 1965 (Live at the Plugged Nickel) and late 1970 (Live-Evil).
