The Fillmore, San Francisco, California March 4 & 5

[sactochris]

I made my hotel reservation yesterday and I just ordered tickets a minute ago. I guess it's all systems go on my end. How about you?

[Slipkid42]

I thought they closed the Fillmore?

Think you're thinking of Winterland.

Nah, I had this record a long time ago called the last days of the Fillmore (or something like that). It had the Dead & Santana & Quicksilver on it. I remember it was a big event (the closing). I guess they reopened when I was in my 'lost' years.

Tickets for both nights - CHECK
Two nights at the Kabuki - CHECK

See y'all there...

Slip you did have an LP of that event,
in 71 Bill Graham closed up the Fillmore West for a bit,
it reopened a few years later, survived the '89 quake, and well, 'the rest is history'...
Had our first DBT solo sellout last May,
hoping for another couple night of capacity crowd at the RAWK Show in 3 months...

You guys know i'm in...
WWCD???

That record was recorded during the last days of the Fillmore West, which was on Market & Van Ness. The last time I looked I think the building was a Volvo dealership. The current Fillmore, is also the original Fillmore, at 1805 Geary. Bill Graham opened The Fillmore West after the original Fillmore could no longer hold the larger crowds that were turning out to see the shows he was promoting. He re opened the Fillmore in the late 80's only to have it closed after the Loma Prieta earthguake in late 1989, which also destroyed the church where The People's Temple was housed before leaving for Jonestown, Guyana. A post office now stands in it's former location. The Fillmore was re-opened by Bill Graham Presents in 1994 three years after the death of the companies namesake. It has continued to operate at as a live music venue ever since.


I hope to see lot's of you folks there in March. It's my alltime favorite venue, even though, at this point, it's a big corporate brand, and a double Stella Artios on tap, is thirteen fucking dollars.

looks like the Saturday is already SOLD OUT!

Ticketrapist still has tickets for Saturday. I think it's just the bands allotment of tickets that get get sold on the website that are sold out.

Thanks, Sactochris.

Sure wish I could be there with y'all again. Great memories from last May. We will, however, be in Vegas for the show on the 3rd, so get yer Ya Ya's on and tool it on down and join us in LV to start your rockin' weekend the right way! Vegas is only a hop, skip and a jump, right?

[one belt loop]

Got mine. Yep, there's a girl going to these shows.

Fees doubled at Ticketbastard over DBT's ticket dudes. (But those ticket dudes couldn't help me when I wanted to separate my Athens tickets under two names, so, you know....)

See you miscreants there. I expect every one of you (and wwcd) to buy me a drink at some point over the two nights.

[littlemamma]

No running and enjoy the apple!!!

[bovine knievel]

No running and enjoy the apple!!!

I'll be sure to buy you a drink, OBL.

We'll miss you, UTHeathen

[sactochris]

Is it March yet?

[PeterG]

Is it March yet?

45 long days until a west coast RAWK Show...
wondering if they'll book any shows during the 3 days off between CA and OR?
taking Highway 101 North is awfuly nice that time of year...

So I bought an extra ticket to the Troubador show on 3/7 on the off-chance someone was planning to drive down and didn't get a ticket. (They were still available the last time I looked.) If that's you and you'd like to let me tag along, let me know. If I don't find a date for the show, you can have it at cost and I'll split the gas and the driving down.

If it was a weekend, I'd totally do it.

Heads up, more info beginning of next week, but a Northern California Album Release Party is being put together at Flora Springs Winery in St. Helena, Napa, CA. Flora Springs is the winery that produced the Ghost Wine with the Wes Freed label last October.

Swag, including a pair of tickets for Friday and Saturday night will be given away. We'll be playing all the songs on the record. Other goodies to be determined.

I'll post a FB event once created. The date is Saturday, 2/12 at Flora Springs 'The Room' on Hwy 29.

If you take the day off, it'll be a weekend. Take two, and it'll be a long weekend. (Easy for me to say--my vacation time balance will go to zero on this.)

Super busy time of year for me at work, unfortunately.

I shouldn't tease you about the rock show, especially since I may not manage to make any of this trip myself. We'll see.

Still working out a few details, kendix, but start time will be either 5 or 6 PM on Saturday, 2/12.

I may have just done something completely unethical. I just changed a business trip to SF to the weekend of March 4th and 5th. Completely fabricated a reason (which turned out to be true), just so I could get up there for the Fillmore shows. Hooray! Ticket's purchased....we'll see if this plan comes to fruition!

I got my fingers crossed pal.
