Grateful Dead

Bout this much anticipated TOUR!!!!!!!!!!!

Claney, I so completely agree, where's the Help>Slip>Franklin's?

Yes, the Fillmore West was where the car dealership holds court at the corner of Van Ness and Market Street. There was a side door on Market street just a stones throw from Van Ness for admission up some stairs to the ballroom. The entrance to the door has been removed and plastered over. You can see the door and people in line for a show on the "Fillmore-the last days" concert documentary. (two great live dead songs in that film - Casey Jones, and JBG) I saw two shows there in my early days. I saw a Santana show before they closed it down, and an Airplane/Hot Tuna show after it was re-birthed briefly as "Resurrection". Cool light shows, cool laid back hang out on the floor scene. At the Santana show, I was moved by the intoxicating combination of sounds and light, and it literally changed my life. I have my Dad to thank for giving me and my date a ride to the show, waiting outside, and taking us home to the south bay. nitecat
