That's the place.  There's a Post Office next door now.

stage manager appeared and was giving me the cut sign (hand crossing the

up and told us there was a fire next door and then told the audience to file
out . At first I was reluctant to go, leaving my equipment but I looked out
the window and saw a large assortment of trucks and firemen and decided that
maybe it'd be a good idea to split.
The building next door, which was once a Masonic Temple and also once Jim
Jones's temple was ablaze. There were 126 firemen there and the building ,
made of wood, was really burning up. It was filled with all kinds of art and
had caught fire from a space heater.

reopened many years ago then closed for earthquake renovation then reopened.
It's not the same building as the 60s Fillmore West. Bill Grahm Presents is
now owned by >>>UGH!<<< Clear Channel. Be that as it may, it's still one of
the best venues in SF and has great sound and great vibe.
