Bloomfield, Kooper, Stills

I want to ask if anyone here is familiar with one of my favourite albums: Super Session done in the late 60s as two jam sessions: the first was Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield, the second was Al Kooper and Steve Stills. The record includes a couple of blues jams and covers of tunes by Bob Dylan, Donovan Leitch (is it THAT Donovan?) and some more, with some really nice horn arrangements. All songs are great and Harvey's Tune is maybe one of the saddest songs I've heard.
Bloomfield (of course, not Stills (edit)) is the double live album The Live Adventures Of Mike Bloomfield And Al Kooper, with different rhythm section and guest appearances by Elvin Bishop and young Carlos Santana (his style is clearly heard). I don't have this one on CD, but I'm going to buy it soon, because it's a remastered release.

So, has anyone heard those albums? If yes, what do you think about them? AND Do you know about any other similar/related records?

Thanks for reading this.

Yes. THAT one.

Sorry I haven't heard of the recordings of which you speak, but they sound interesting.

I'd esp. like to hear the ones with Elvin Bishop and the young Carlos Santana.

Carlos Santana plays a song Sonny Boy Williamson (his first record ever) and Elvin Bishop plays a long blues (forgot the name). Steve Miller was also there but he's not on the record.

Hmm, seeing that no other people replied, I never thought they are so unknown. In fact I thought they were pretty famous.
