Fans of live rock, folk and blues music streamed through the entrance down in the East Village of NYC during a brief but memorable life of The Fillmore East! The great concert promoter Bill Graham brought The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, Sha Na Na, Mountain and many more into a concert hall beloved by artists and audiences alike for its intimacy, acoustics and psychedelic light shows. ( this is taken from a plaque by the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation)...in this part one podcast documentary series we chat with two performers about the days at the Fillmore East! Henry Gross from Sha Na Na and Corky Laing from Mountain!
