Another Vanished Venue

Missed this one, so thanks to JVNY for the head's up--WNYC continued its Vanishing Venues series last week with an edition on the Fillmore East. [2nd and 3rd images came from the Fillmore East Archives FB page IIRC!]

1971 Ads: Other Venues and Miscellany, Part 1

1/7/71 issue--Full-page ad for Slade.

1/7/71 issue. For reasons I won't go into here, I'll send this one out to my brother.

1/14/71 issue. I can't figure out if Francis is supposed to be a band or a club night at the Cafe Wha. As for Wheels...it seemed to advertise on a near-weekly basis, but I've only bothered collecting their ads if they've been printed beside other ads of interest. I don't think I've ever heard of it beyond these issues of the Voice and a brief mention in Cherry Vanilla's book.

1/14/71 issue: Announcement for a pre-Ms. Magazine Steinem event.

1/14/71 issue.

1/14/71 issue. Syl Sylvain and Billy Murcia's knitwear company again. They'd move on to other pursuits soon enough.

1/21/71 issue.

1/21/71 issue--one of Jackie Curtis' plays.

1/21/71 issue.

2/11/71 issue--Televised fare on the first night of Signed D.C.'s existence.

2/25/71 issue.

3/4/71 issue.

3/11/71 issue.

3/18/71 issue.

3/25/71 issue. Yup, Greetings from Asbury Park indeed. Coincidentally, the other night I saw the New Jersey episode of No Reservations, which included a scene with Anthony Bourdain getting his fortune told by the real Madam Marie.
