| Fillmore East | Fillmore East was promoter Bill Graham's rock palace in the East Village area of New York City, USA. Previously known as the Village Theater, it opened March 8, 1968, to give Graham an East Coast counterpart to his Fillmore West establishment in San Francisco, and quickly became "The Church of Rock and Roll," with two-show concerts several nights a week. For most of its existence, the venue had been a mainstay of the Yiddish theatre circuit; it had also been a cinema and was falling into disrepair before Graham's acquisition. Despite the deceptively small marquee and façade, the theater had a capacity of 3,664 seats. |
