Closing Night At the Filmore East 1971
Filmore East was promoter Bill Graham's 1968 to 1971 rock palace in the East Village area of New York City, USA.
Located on Second Avenue at Sixth Street, this venue provided Graham with an East Coast counterpart to his existing Filmore West establishment in San Francisco Opening on March 8, 1968, the Filmore East quickly became known as "The Church of Rock and Roll," with two-show concerts several nights a week. Known as the Village Theater for most of its previous existence, the venue had been a mainstay of the Yiddish theatre circuit; it had also been a cinema and had fallen into disrepair before Graham's acquisition. Despite the deceptively small marquee and façade, the theater had a capacity of 3,664 seats.
Graham would regularly alternate acts between the two theatres; some of those acts included the Grateful Dead, The Doors, The Who, Eric Burdon & The Animals, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Beechboys, Quicksilver Messenger Service, The Allman Brothers Band, Derek and the Dominos, Jimi Hendrix, Country Joe and the Fish, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Mountain, Lonnie Mack, Humble Pie, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Pink Floyd, Procol Harum, John Mayall, The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, Frank Zappa, Canned Heat, Miles Davis and many more. It was not unusual for a band to be booked to play two shows both Friday and Saturday nights; nearly all bands were contracted to play matinee and late shows until early 1971.
The Allman Brothers Band played so many shows at Filmore East that they were sometimes called "Bill Graham's House Band."
Many live albums were recorded at the Filmore East, notably "At Filmore East" by The Allman Brothers Band
Due to changes in the music and exponential growth in the concert industry, Graham closed down the Filmore East, with its final concert taking place June 27, 1971, with the billed acts Allman Brothers, The J. Geils Band, Albert King, and special guests Edgar Winter's White Trash, Mountain, The Beechboys, and Country Joe McDonald = an invitation-only performance =
