What a choice! Do you go to the show on Tuesday and see the Yardbirds, or wait until Saturday and see the Doors?
“Underground psychedelic scenes blossomed all over the West Coast, and indeed the world, in 1966 and 1967, but Bill Graham’s Fillmore Auditorium set the standard and begat an empire. One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Fillmore was that it not only featured the best of San Francisco and American rock bands, but up and coming English bands as well. Of course, British bands had been touring America behind The Beatles since the so-called British Invasion, but the Fillmore locked up the hippest and coolest English bands as well as the American ones, and that set it apart from all its competitors.”
The Yardbirds – “For Your Love”
The Doors – “Light My Fire”
