  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday, September 28, 1972 page 5 Fillmore: Recorded, Remembered \ By ED WILSON "Fillmore, The Last Days" gives those of us who never sat in that auditorium a chance to see what it was. The album was the last three days of performances at the FUlmore Auditorium In San Francisco. It chronicles the end of a phenomenon that was a major part of the rock culture. Bill Graham, owner and operator of the Fillmore, felt that it had served its purpose when he closed it July 4, 1971. Whether he was right or not, it's gone. Perhaps the youth of the love crowd have grown up and no longer see pop music as THE art. The Mecca of rock music provided a showcase for the artists already in the limelight and gave many hopefuls the exposure they needed. Many of the artists performing in the finale had come of age at the Fillmore. Santana, Hot Tuna, Grateful Dead, New Riders of The Purple Sage, and Quicksilver had made their mark there before and appear on the last program. The recorded performances are what we have come to expect, nothing really exciting or unique. The majority of the selections are well-known numbers excepting perhaps the two jam sessions featuring Taj Mahal, Elvin Bishop, and Boz Scaggs. The other cuts are different only in that they are live performances and feature the improvisation that is induced under those circumstances. The album consists of three LP's, a glossy pictorial of the auditorium, a ticket, the last poster, and a 7" disk of Bill Graham rapping. It is a nice package of mementos of the Fillmore and the era In which it was tops, but somewhere I get a hint of commercialism which taints the total. Perhaps It is the little things throughout the whole that tend to place Mr. Graham as a benevolent god of the music business. His services to the world of pop music and the community in which the Fillmore was situated are many and of of unquestionable merit but I stop short of placing him as THE primary force in the dominance of rock music. He should be respected, not idolized. For me, it was a pleasure to see the album available. I would have settled for the recordings without the accompanying paraphernalia, though. Still, I'm glad to have recordings that come from the Fillmore, It was part of an era of which I was also a part. As was always the Fillmore policy, the set includes established musicians and new faces just coming into the mainstream of pop music. But for all of us, the days of the FUlmore are gone in more ways than one. Who's, Who's?
