was located at <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Fillmore Street</st1:address></st1:Street>
and <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Geary Boulevard</st1:address></st1:Street>.

w:st="on">Steiner Street</st1:address></st1:Street>. Originally built as an
ice skating rink, it had a capacity of 5,400, it was just a short walk from the
original Fillmore Auditorium, located at <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address

apartment building. The first show was on 23 September 1966 and was headlined

Grateful Dead.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Much confusion over the years has resulted from Graham
booking a band for, say, three nights and have them play the first at the
Fillmore (either) and then two nights at Winterland. And he would mix it around
other ways as well. And, of course, when people say Fillmore, you don’t
know which one they’re talking about unless you know the date. After 4
July 1968 it’s WEST; before, it’s AUDITORIUM.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
