Fillmore East was a legendary concert venue in the East Village of Manhattan, New York City, operated by Bill Graham from 1968 to 1971. Known for hosting iconic rock acts such as The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, and Grateful Dead, Fillmore East was a hub for music enthusiasts with its capacity of 3664 seats.
The venue closed in 1971 due to the rapid growth of the concert industry, but its legacy lives on through live albums recorded there, such as At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band. Today, the building that once housed Fillmore East is home to a bank and apartment complex, while the Fillmore name has been revived with The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza.
