<DIV><FONT size=2>>> In 1967 and 1968 the venue may simply have been "The
Fillmore" as the "Fillmore East" didn't exist yet. I have a Cream
boot from both '67 and '68 that were recorded at The Fillmore. Bob Enfield

<DIV><FONT size=2>The first show at NY's Fillmore East was 8 March 1968, after
which weekly performances (2 shows each Friday and Saturday, special shows on
holidays and Sundays) were the norm. Last show was 27 June 1971. Check out this
web site: <A

I attended a number of the shows during the 1968-1970 period.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>For several short months prior to the opening of the Fillmore
East, there were shows at the Anderson Theater (probably late 1967 or very early
1968 until the Fillmore East opened), around the corner. I attended one or two
shows at the Anderson, but there was no control, as ticketless "illegals"
entered, in full view of the management, and they were thoroughly unable to gain
control of the situation, as Bill Graham did at the Fillmore East. At one show,
we couldn't sit in our seats, clearly indicated on our tickets. However, when
your ticket said that you were to sit in A17 at the Fillmore East, you actually
sat in A17. Bill Graham knew how to manage the place, and there wasn't a bad
seat in the house, both visually and sonically.</FONT></DIV>
