Why you should go…

The Fillmore is a historic ballroom on Geary Boulevard that became the center of San Francisco's psychedelic music scene in the 1960s under promoter Bill Graham. The Grateful Dead played 51 shows here, and The Doors, The Who and Pink Floyd all took the stage. It holds about 1,300 people and still books concerts regularly, now run by Live Nation. Look for the tub of free apples near the entrance and the posters handed out after selected sold-out shows.
