Reviews, articles, etc.:

1/23/69 "Riffs" reviews Earth Opera.

1/30/69 "Riffs" review on Vince Martin and the Colwell Winfield Blues Band.

4/17/69 "Riffs" review of a Bob Gibson show that turned into an impromptu folkie old home week of sorts--written by Ellen Sander.

5/8/69 "Riffs"--the club is mentioned in Annie Fisher's diary of a week in concertgoing in Miami and New York.  "The au Go Go is sparsely populated, as the Scene has been too many times recently when I've been there, and I wonder again how so many people can cheat themselves of the excitement going on in the clubs--Ungano's too, as I gather from the ads, as well as Gerde's--almost every night.  Everybody loses.  Howard Solomon is close to closing the au Go Go."

1969 Ads Revisited: Fillmore East

Selected 1969 Voice ads for the Fillmore East.  I didn't bother saving the weekly listing ads, because show dates have been compiled elsewhere.  The focus here is on individual show ads sponsored by record companies, ads for unusual (often non-rock) events at the hall, and other Fillmore-related ephemera.

EDIT 3/19/2012:  Here's a post about the Fillmore East from the Bowery Boogie blog which I missed last week.
