Movie Reviews of Last Days of the Fillmore
Movie Review: Awesome Film!
Summary: 5 Stars
This captures a moment in the early 70's just before Rock got super commercial and the business went bad.
Fans could see legends like The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, up close and with good sound in an intimate venue for a cheap price.
That is why Bill Graham closed the Fillmore's, he saw the impending doom of the concert business and wanted out.
Bill Graham shines through out the film and is almost like a wrestling promoter. Very over spoken, but with a heart of gold, and humor as well.
There is a great moment at the beginning of the film, when a hippie band leader tells Bill to go Fu** himself, because he would not let his band play on the closing night of the venue.
What happens next is very funny, you have to see the film to appreciate it. It is nice that Rhino is finally releasing this long forgotten film.
Summary of Last Days of the Fillmore
Legendary rock impresario Bill Graham closed the Fillmore West in early summer 1971 with five nights of all-star concerts, the last curtain going down on July 4. The storied San Francisco venue had become an institution, an integral part of the West Coast music scene of the '60s and, now, an essential element of themythology of rock 'n' roll. Always the showman, Graham made sure the Fillmore West was sent off in a blaze of glory, spotlighting bands - including the Grateful Dead and Santana-that rose to fame at the hall. The madness leading up to the
shows and the concerts themselves were filmed for FILLMORE: THE LAST DAYS, a gritty, behind-the-scenes look at a fascinating moment in rock history and a showcase for great performances by iconic artists who epitomized 'the San Francisco
Sound.' Originally released in 1972 and long out-of-print, the documentary film makes its DVD debut with Rhino's landmark reissue.
