In 1968, rock promoter Bill Graham launched the Fillmore East in New York City and the Fillmore West in San Francisco, changing music forever. For three years, every major rock band played the Fillmores, performing legendary shows: Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Led Zeppelin, Cream, the Allman Brothers, and many more. John Glatt tells the story of the Fillmores through the lives of Bill Graham, Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Carlos Santana, and an all-star supporting cast. Chronicling the East and West Coast cultures of the late 1960s and early 1970s - New York City with its speed, heroin, and the Velvet Underground versus San Francisco with the LSD-drenched Summer of Love - Glatt reveals how Graham made it all possible. But why did Graham shutter both Fillmores within weeks of each other in 1971, during the height of their popularity? Live at the Fillmore East and West reveals how Graham's claim that "the flowers wilted and the scene changed" was not quite the whole story.

Where does Live at the Fillmore East and West rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This must be a pretty good book - a few mistakes notwithstanding (The Allman Bros. first album was NOT "Idlewild South" - because the narrator is a joke. Overly dramatic and sounds like he has no connection to the material at all. Perhaps this is the producer/director's fault. I hate to put anyone down but this guy sounds like he's not even human ~ perhaps a computer program that reads the words. Not only does he mispronounce quite few names - but he is not even consistent - sometimes getting them right, sometimes wrong. But I enjoyed the stories - particularly learning about what was going on behind the scenes at concerts I attended.Would you be willing to try another one of Peter Berkrot’s performances?
Hopefully I'll never have to.Pretty well researched - good info
