The Fillmore East closed

June 27, 1971
After only three years in business, rock promoter Bill Graham closed the “Church of Rock and Roll“, the Fillmore East in New York (on Second Avenue near East 6th Street,) on this date.

The final concert was billed as three acts (The Allman Brothers Band, The J. Geils Band, Albert King) and special surprise guests (Edgar Winter’s White Trash, Mountain, The Beach Boys, Country Joe McDonald) in an invitation-only performance.
