The Fillmore Auditorium (historic music venue)

The Fillmore Auditorium at 1805 Geary Boulevard became a focal point of San Francisco's 1960s music scene under promoter Bill Graham, who booked early performances by artists such as the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin. The venue's history as a major rock and cultural venue continued across later decades with renovations and recurring concert programming. The Fillmore is frequently cited in accounts of the city's musical and countercultural history and remains an active performance space. Its distinctive marquee and legacy contribute to its recognition as a historic entertainment landmark.
