Opened in 1968, impresario Bill Graham’s Fillmore East rocked New York City with performances by John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Elton John, the Allman Brothers Band and Led Zeppelin. Before it closed in June 1971, Fillmore East set a new standard for rock concerts, introducing fans to giants of jazz, blues, and folk music. The hall’s stellar acoustics and Joshua Light Show’s psychedelic imagery made Fillmore East concerts unforgettable.
