Fillmore West Discography

This is a discography of albums recorded at the Fillmore West. This venue in a building on Market Street and Van Ness Avenue was known as El Patio during the 1930's and 1940's. At some point, probably in the 1960's, the venue became the Carousel Ballroom. It was operated as a rock venue using the Carousel name for the first 6 months of 1968 by Ron Rakow and a partnership which included the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Jefferson Airplane. Bill Graham took over the operation of the venue in July 1968 and renamed it the Fillmore West. Graham ran the venue for 3 years closing it in July 1972 with a series of concerts that were recorded and filmed for the Fillmore: The Last Days album and movie.
