Mr. Modesty, I'll change the wording to "near-complete show lists" if you insist!<br /><br />The poster for the Kinks tour was appropriately printed in red, white & blue...but I doubt the newspaper version was so colorful.Signed D.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11154056194616535241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12527609.post-36999434031465261262010-06-24T10:25:14.981-05:002010-06-24T10:25:14.981-05:00Another fascinating insight is the links to Kip Co...Another fascinating insight is the links to Kip Cohen's comments about the difficulty starting the Tuesday night "audition" shows. The performers Tuesday shows remain largely a mystery, so no Fillmore East or West list can truly claim to be complete, or anywhere close to it, until those are nailed down.<br /><br />I am working on the Fillmore West Tuesday night shows (on my blog), and I have about 40% of them, but I have never found any hints as to who played Fillmore East. Its interesting to see (in the second Billboard link) the assertion that bands will be paid, because I think they may not have always been paid at Fillmore West, a very telling East vs West scenario.Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12527609.post-38274126357521351482010-06-24T10:21:25.426-05:002010-06-24T10:21:25.426-05:00These are very interesting, because they show what...These are very interesting, because they show what a crucial industry showcase the Fillmore East was. The Kinks weren't even headlining (they were below Spirit), but Warners was going all out.<br /><br />The Fillmore East was mostly closed in July and August 1969 (I think there was one show, Joe Cocker/Airplane August 8-9). The Fillmore East staff was at Woodstock and then Tanglewood, and I guess Bill Graham figured that his audience was all elsewhere (the shore or upstate) anyway. That's why the Summer ads aren't for any specific FE shows (eg Peace On Earth, or Isle of Wight).Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.com
