Fillmore - the last days (2 DVD)
Once the epicenter of the West Coast psychedelic music scene, the Fillmore Auditorium gave birth to the “San Francisco sound,” and was home to many of the Grateful Dead's most legendary shows.
Long out-of-print, the FILLMORE: THE LAST DAYS documentary goes behind-the-scenes to chronicle the 1971 closing of the world-famous institution and showcases the very best from the five final nights of all-star concerts. Available on DVD for the first time, this edition boasts fully-restored picture and surround-sound audio, plus brand-new liner notes by former Rolling Stone senior editor Ben Fong-Torres. Performances by the Grateful Dead include “Casey Jones” and “Johnny B. Goode,” plus Jerry Garcia jamming solo and with The New Riders Of The Purple Sage.
The film also features performances by Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna, Santana, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and more!
