    CLOSING JAM (billed as "San Francisco Musicians Jam")

==========================================================================

     The history of The Fillmore is well known. Constructed as a dance
hall in post-earthquake San Francisco in 1912, it served as a host venue
for musical acts and local events for decades before impresario Bill
Graham scouted it out as a location to hold the SF Mime Troupe show in
November 1965. Under the ownership of Graham, The Fillmore quickly became
established as the hub around which the SF underground surfaced and took
the main stage. By 1968 following the assassination of MLK, however, the
neighborhood around the original Fillmore auditorium at Geary and Fillmore
had become unstable, and Graham moved operations across town to the
Carousel Ballroom. Renamed The Fillmore West, the Carousel opened on July
5th, 1968. What had begun with those first Mime Troupe shows as a
subversive confrontation to expose the inhibitions and inconsistencies of
American life had succeeded in a sense. The territory had been claimed,
and all of the counterculture showed up to release the psyche and wail and
dance without reservation. As much as the era has been recycled by
succeeding generations, it could only have been invented once, and this
was the time and place where it rooted. Big Brother, the Jefferson
Airplane, and the Grateful Dead are but a few of the legendary acts that
broke the ground and projected their shadows of magic far into the future.
With the acts that found their place in the "official" history, though,
were numerous voices that enriched and completed the landscape. It was
less a landscape of leaders as it was a tribe of experimentation.
     Like all entities, though, what was once a time of emergence and
creativity became ingrained and invested with business interests. The day
of stadium rock was dawning. It left a palpable distaste in Bill Graham's
mouth. The ambience and texture of live music was changing, and Graham
wanted no part of it. He wanted to make a statement. He wanted to be
arrested in the park in protest. He decided to close the Fillmore East and
then the West. The era would not dwindle out, sucked dry of its
inspiration by purely cutthroat business decisions. It would be sealed off
from deterioration and scavengers. Graham determined to see it out in
grand style with a week of closing concerts featuring an organic mix of
San Francisco talent. Broadcast over FM radio, act after act took the
stage to pound out the final heartbeats of the Fillmore West. An inspired
jam session culminated the final night with the pulse of musicians
divining the muse and Graham himself banging away on cowbell during "the
greatest fucking night of our lives." Almost three years to the day it
opened, the Fillmore West closed for good.
     This week [late-June 2001] marks the 30th Anniversary of The Fillmore
West's closing, and to honor that event and the memory of Bill Graham, the
Archival Group has sought out and preserved the legacy of the original
broadcasts so that all who have the soul to hear can listen from the
rafters. Culled from a variety of sources, including pre-broadcast and
off-air reel masters, each of the six broadcast nights will be presented
in its entirety beginning with the night of June 30th, 1971. As always,
this was truly an Archival Group effort. Special thanks are owed to the
FW71 team for their persistent and dedicated efforts to locate, uncover,
preserve, and share this incredible legacy. Thank you to all whom
contributed from your own archives and to those who contributed in
inspiration and information to making this a special event. Please note
this is still a work in progress. Artwork and setlists will be posted as
they are available.  --RGP

SAWBUCK
MALO
KWANE & THE KWANDITOS

   The booklet to the commercially released (and now reissued) 'Fillmore -
The Last Days' notes June 29th as part of the Closing Week, but the poster
and broadcast (KSAN & KSFX-FM San Francisco) were only June 30th-July 4th,
1971. Recollections from a knowledgeable source: "If I remember right, the
opening show of that closing week was booked in keeping with Bill Graham's
tradition of reserving one night a week at his venues as a
showcase/audition opportunity for aspiring local talent. Of the three
bands that played that night, only Malo went on to get a record deal or
anything approaching widespread recognition." A glimpse of Malo's set
appears on the 'Fillmore - The Last Days' boxset/CD-reissue.

     One of the 3 bands that performed on Tuesday, June 29th, the
showcase/audition night. "I'm not aware of any recordings or subsequent
successes by Kwane and the Kwanditos, so I'd have to guess that they
didn't pass the audition."

                 Those who have seen the documentary film 'Fillmore -
                 The Last Days' can note: the leather-clad rocker who
                 pleads with Graham for a slot for his band
                 [Loose Gravel], Graham writing him off because he never
                 heard the band...to which the rocker responds, "F*ck you,
                 and thanks for the memories" (Graham later tells his
                 staff that if he comes back, book 'em for Thursday night)
                 was Mike Wilhelm, who later joined the Groovies.
