I'm with you on everything else you said, but I have to toss a flag on the
field here. Fillmore bills (West, East, and "original") were always
self-consciously eclectic, right from the get-go. (The "get-go" being anytime
from
66-68, depending on which of the three Fillmores you wanna discuss.) Having
Isaac
there in the early 70s, even as headliner, wouldn't have so much as raised an
eyebrow.
It was just a couple of weeks ago that I was talking about my first Fillmore
(East) experience -- November '68. Jefferson Airplane, Buddy Guy, and an
African dance troupe. Twisted my fool little head right off. And for $2.50.
