The Fillmore East
Bill Graham's meca of American Rock acts closed 41 years ago today. The tiny 2600 seat venue in The East Village boasted more major acts in a short 3 years than any other venue of it's time .
Zappa, Allman Brothers, Lennon, Albert King, The Byrds, Taj Mahal, The Airplane, Miles Davis, Neil Young, with CSNY, Neil Young with Crazy Horse, The Dead, The Chambers Brothers, Humble Pie, King Crimson, Hendrix, Ten Years After, Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter, Mountain, J Geils Band , Zeppelin all played there numerous times and all recorded live sets there because of the outstanding acoustics. RIP Rock n Roll.

Rolling Stone's 49 Best Album of all time......but that's when when Greg had soul for a white boy....He could sing the blues....then he married Cher and now does incoherent interviews with Piers Morgan. It was all Cher's fault I tell ya....not the drugs !

Too bad no one had the foresight to make video/film recordings of all these live performances. The surest sign of the decline of western pop civilization when the Filmore closed down.
There are still IMO great live groups still out here today, just not as many.

Re: The Fillmore East
Bit premature to suggest Rock'n'roll died with the closure of the Fillmore - great as its roster of acts was. Lots and lots of great rock music still to this day.

I'm into a lot of Classic Rock from the 1970s. You seem good with a lot of that. Much of the music I listen to is needed for the task at hand. Nothing like marching into the gym on leg day with Slayer's Reign In Blood mercilessly pounding in my ears. I'm Ted Bundy and the weights are gals with straight brown hair parted down the middle.
