The Fillmore and Fillmore West were both focal points for the psychedelic music scene, with the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Janis Joplin's Big Brother and the Holding Company as house bands in all but name. One of the best known concert halls of the 1960s, it attracted such diverse acts as County Joe McDonald and the Fish, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Cream, the Who, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. Built in 1912 at Fillmore Street and Geary Boulevard in San Francisco, California, the Fillmore was originally the Majestic Academy of Dancing. It became, over the years, a dance hall, a roller skating rink and a venue for black performers alike James Brown and Ike and Tina Turner before moving to Market Street and South Van Ness Avenue in 1968 and being renamed the Fillmore West. Promoter Bill Graham managed the venue from 1965 until his death in 1991 and personally introduced each band. The Fillmore was reopened at its original Fillmore Street location in 1994. Lightly bowed and creased. Duncan's signature has low contrast in places but is legible. Cotton, Martini, Young, and Bramlett's signatures are lightly smeared in places, but legible. Light dent in lower left corner. Otherwise in fine condition.
