Zarin BurnettHOST
The band had suffered its first trauma.
Zarin BurnettHOST
We hired Harvey Mandel at a gig in the Fillmore West because Henry quit and we didn't have a guitar, a lead guitar player, to play with.
Zarin BurnettHOST
Luckily, Harvey Mandel came from that generation of Chicago musicians, y- you know, like, from Paul Butterfield, et cetera, you know, Charlie Musselwhite."
Elizabeth DuttonHOST
Oh, dang.
Aaron TurnerGUEST
And that is not a path for, you know, feeling good amongst the people you're working with, and it's not conducive to good, uh, artistic results, in my experience.
KeithHOST
Well, we've got a few Neurosis gigs coming up October 16th and 17th in San Francisco at The Fillmore, some hometown shows.
KeithHOST
That should be amazing.
KeithHOST
Aaron, is there anything else we can announce or any message that you wanna leave with the people in our last few minutes here?
David FreibergGUEST
And Dino must have been there because this was his idea.
David FreibergGUEST
We plotted that they were going to be playing the Fillmore on the same bill as Jefferson Airplane.
David FreibergGUEST
And we were going to come in while they were playing, right about when they're finishing their set, with cowboy hats and bandanas over our faces and phony guns and tie them up.
David FreibergGUEST
I don't know how we were going to do that, but that was the plan.
Franzo KingGUEST
The redevelopment came in with the Negro removal and devastated the community.
Asal EhsanipourCORRESPONDENT
Redevelopment brought an end to the Harlem of the West that defined the Fillmore in the 40s and 50s.
Asal EhsanipourCORRESPONDENT
Jazz clubs shuttered.
Asal EhsanipourCORRESPONDENT
Minority and elderly residents were forced from their homes.
9 MINS LATER
Asal EhsanipourCORRESPONDENT
whole year.
Asal EhsanipourCORRESPONDENT
They've relocated a few times since then.
Asal EhsanipourCORRESPONDENT
First to the Fillmore, where they were one of just a handful of jazz institutions left.
Asal EhsanipourCORRESPONDENT
But they were evicted from that space, too, before moving to their current location out of Fort Mason's Magic Theater.
Kyle WoodHOST
As the 1960s counterculture gained momentum, artists wanted to create works that would replicate the altered states of consciousness that many people were experiencing.
Kyle WoodHOST
Printmakers in San Francisco, like Victor Moscoso and Wes Wilson, began incorporating Dayglo inks into their promotional materials for music venues like the Fillmore.
Kyle WoodHOST
Artists placed contrasting fluorescent colors next to each other to create a vibrant effect.
Kyle WoodHOST
Basically, when you put complementary or opposite colors next to each other repeatedly, it can overwhelm the viewer's eye and can make things seem to move or vibrate.
speaker_1HOST
Those shows will be packed.
speaker_0HOST
Imagine the energy in a place like the Fillmore.
speaker_0HOST
That's a great spot for a comeback gig.
speaker_1HOST
I can almost feel the excitement already.
Android JonesGUEST
And like the first time we mirrored it and got it working was with, it was for Tipper.
Android JonesGUEST
I think we're at like the Fillmore and Kerry Thompson did this pyramid.
Android JonesGUEST
And it was one of those things where it just like happened in the moment.
Android JonesGUEST
Like I had this opportunity, we mirrored it, we put it on Carrie's projection.
James JoynerHOST
Yes
Chris BenchetlerGUEST
... for fi- quite a few nights following at the Fillmore, if I'm not mistaken.
James JoynerHOST
Yeah.
Chris BenchetlerGUEST
So it sounds like a fucking great time to go see some live music, really.
Dregs OneHOST
right on that's dope that's a dope example i think a lot of people could learn from but it's kind of crazy because it's like it started from what i understand you could correct me if i'm wrong about any of this but it started with with peter lee and then cheap charlie but then it's like filmo and hunter's point started having problems and then lakeview and sunnydale started having problems Like,
L-CheddaGUEST
what was on Slag Night? In Fillmore, my mom moved to Page Street back in 86.
L-CheddaGUEST
So she moved over there, but I was like, I ain't going to Fillmore.
L-CheddaGUEST
And so I stayed on the turf in the swamp with my auntie at the top of Blackdale, which they called Tray 4 and all that now.
L-CheddaGUEST
So I was over there with her in 86 all the way.
L-CheddaGUEST
And so back then, it was how you say, different turf, trying to fake link up and do all that.
L-CheddaGUEST
So...
L-CheddaGUEST
When Moms moved to Page Street, we still had beef with Fillmore and shit.
Bill HendersonGUEST
So anyway, when we were the collectors, we were huge on the West Coast of North America and really big in San Francisco.
Bill HendersonGUEST
And one time we were playing the Fillmore Auditorium and we're doing our soundcheck.
Bill HendersonGUEST
And of course, there's nobody there but us and the crew, except there's one guy right at the back of the hall, big black guy in a suit smoking a pipe.
Bill HendersonGUEST
He comes up to me at the end of the soundcheck.
