1970 Ads: Fillmore East

Selected 1970 Voice ads for the Fillmore East. As before, I didn't bother collecting the regular weekly column ads, since near-complete show lists have already been compiled. I saved the ads for special events, and the separate concert announcements which were sponsored by various record companies.
