Imagine the 1960s, when the air was thick with psychedelic music and a spirit of rebellion. That energy found a home at The Fillmore. While it started back in 1912 as Majestic Hall, it was Bill Graham who transformed the venue into a legendary hub for the counterculture scene.

It wasn't just about the music; it was about the experience. To this day, the venue keeps those traditions alive, handing out commemorative posters and free apples to concertgoers. It's more than just a stage; it's a symbol of musical innovation that helped define an era of cultural shift.

Whether you're here for a modern act or the history, you're walking through a piece of San Francisco's sonic soul.
