Fillmore East

TIME : 2016/2/18 12:04:07

Visit the site of the long-defunct Fillmore East, a seriously big-time, 2000-seat live-music venue run by promoter Bill Graham from 1968 to 1971, where the Who premiered their rock opera Tommy . In the ’80s the space was transformed into the Saint – the legendary, 5000-sq-ft dance club that kicked off joyous, drug-laden, gay disco parties. Today the building houses a bank and condos (yawn).
