East. RIP. It is now a condo. I got a job in the winter of 1972 working as an usher in the Academy of Music for Howard Stien. After a couple of months i was asked to be a part of the back stage crew after they noticed me sitting in the orhastra seats well before i needed to be there I was there till it closed and the Paladium opened after Ron Delsener had problems booking the Beacon. When it did reopen prior to the concert by the band the mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ was sold and removed. Pipes and all. Piece by piece. I still mourn the passing of both the Fillmore and Academy as well as the Jefferson on 14th between 2&3rd.
