Filmore East Group of (29) Vintage Concert Programs....

Description

Filmore East Group of (29) Vintage Concert Programs. We have never seen such an impressive collection of stapled 5 ½" x 8 ½" programs made for the short-lived Fillmore East venue. We're not sure whenever (if ever!) we'll see a collection like this again. You get 29 programs from various shows in this lot.
Open for just a little over three years from the legendary Bill Graham, the Fillmore East was on Second Avenue and East 6th on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Trying to have the kind of attraction and allure like the Fillmore West on the opposite coast, it welcomed all kinds of acts. Here is a sample of what you will receive not in any particular order.
