1968: Legendary rock promoter, Bill Graham opens an East Coast version of his San Francisco concert venue, the Fillmore Ballroom. Appropriately dubbed Fillmore East and located in New York City’s East Village, the hall’s first show is headlined by Big Brother & the Holding Company, Albert King and Tim Buckley.
By the way, the photo of Bill on opening night was snapped by aspiring rock photographer Linda Eastman (soon to become Linda McCartney).
