Once the epicenter of the West Coast psychedelic music scene, the Fillmore Auditorium gave birth to the “San Francisco sound,” making and breaking some of the world's most popular artists, until shutting its doors in the summer of '71.

When the venerable San Francisco rock & roll mecca the Fillmore West packed it in on the Forth of July 1971 an era in pop music history had also passed. Dancehall keeper Bill "Uncle Bobo" Graham -- under whose meticulous supervision the venue flourished -- held a wake and hand-picked a select few locals to give the Fillmore its last musical rights. Fillmore: The Last Days -- containing highlights recorded during the final week of performances -- was issued as the soundtrack to a likewise-titled feature-length 1972 documentary. The original three-LP box set also includes a bonus 7" record containing over a quarter-hour's worth of "Words With Bill Graham." The deluxe packaging is endowed with a large  "closing week" poster as well as an *ORIGINAL* used ticket from one of the hundreds of legendary shows held in the Fillmore between November 6, 1965, and July 4, 1971. Plus, as if that weren't enough, there was a huge commemorative 11 x 11 30 pages booklet, which among with other things (lots of group photos, etc) included a complete list of every show held at the venue. The three Lp's feature a who's who of rock music circa 1971, most -- if not all -- of whom began their collective journey's in the Bay Area music scene at the time. The Grateful Dead ("Casey Jones" and "Johnny B. Goode"), Quicksilver Messenger Service ("Fresh Air" and " "Mojo"), as well as Santana ("Incident at Neshabur" and "In a Silent Way") all make strong showings as do some of the lesser-known artists such as  the Santana like Malo ("Pana") or hippie band,  Lamb ("Hello Friends"). Fillmore: The Last Days includes some amazing performances from It's a Beautiful Day ("White Bird") as well as the stunningly powerful "Baby's Calling Me Home" by Boz Scaggs -- no doubt an homage to his stint with the Steve Miller Blues Band -- plus a definitive version of "Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burnin'" from Hot Tuna -- who are the only representatives from the Jefferson Airplane, perhaps the one San Francisco band who is most conspicuously absent from the proceedings. The "Words With Bill Graham" interview allows Graham to personally express his thanks to the people who made the Fillmore such a success and to give some insight into the changing dynamics (read: money and drugs) that so radically altered his ability to adequately provide both artist and attendee with the same high-quality performance and venue for a reasonable price

CONDITION: The 38 year old box is still very collectible...by this many years is usually found with broken seams and dirty ...not here, this copy clean, near "EX" (excellent) with only a small corner shelf rub wear that should not be a problem to anyone...no seam splits, no writing, very well kept.

The 3 Lp's, large booklet, large poster, concert ticket and 45rpm are all clean "EX" excellent to M- ...collectible and the playback on the vinyls = top level...

      A cool addition to anyone's music library!
