    So what are we saying that Bill banned certian people from preforming at the Fillmore East? Did he do that at the Filmore West also? Huh, I never heard this before..... Wow. Instresting stuff.

    In Bill's defense, almost any club owner faced this kind of accusation. Artists almost always have huge egos and the minute some promoter or club owner says anything they disagree with they can get real snotty. I imagine Bill set some rules and stuck with them.
    Not knowing the exact circumstances and Bill not being here to defend himself, I generally don't put much value in attacks against him.

    I'm one of the few that has a copy of the Fillmore movie . Mama Cass doesnt appear in this movie . I also beleive it was Bonnie Bramlett that told the audience at the Fillmore West that Bill wouldnt let them come back for an encore . He was in his office at the time and heard her on stage and went out and told them to come back . They didnt . Say what you want about Bill Graham , I was a Winterland regular and spoke with Bill many times , and he was always nice to me  . Thanx .

    Hi Murthe1-2

    Thanks
