The Cellar Door Sessions 1970 is a boxed live album released in 2005. It was recorded over several nights in 1970 at the Washington D. C. nightclub The Cellar Door. Despite similar formatting to The Miles Davis Series of box sets, it is not part of that series.

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 "Imamorata" are most commonly known as "Funky Tonk", but were released on Live-Evil as "Imamorata 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]
