Venue Review: Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium is a large and cavernous
concert venue that accommodates a crowd of 7,000 people. The venue was formerly
known as the San Francisco Civic Auditorium and was renamed in honor of Graham
after his untimely death in a helicopter crash in 1991. The venue has a long
history of hosting large names in the recording business, most notably The
Grateful Dead, who played many concerts at the venue. The remaining members of
The Grateful Dead have continued to play at the auditorium under the name
Furthur. The band most recently held their annual New Year's Eve run at the
venue, playing there for three consecutive nights.
