Of course the Filmore East, formerly located at 105 Second Avenue, was one of the most popular music venues in America in the late 60s and early 70s. Though relatively short lived, it played host to music giants such as The Who, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and many more.
This archival performance is of one of many Grateful Dead performances at the Filmore, recorded February 11, 1970, at the height of the Filmore’s legendary run.
