We had a huge advantage living close to the Tower Theater. It was sometimes called the Fillmore East because it was a must play for the groups on the verge of breaking into the bigtime. I saw so many acts there who were playing to crowds of 20,000 up, the next time they were in town. Saw a few like the Moody Blues, and Jethro Tull, playing the Tower after their arena days were over.
As a matter of fact Yusuf Islam(Cat Stevens) played there last week on his attempted comeback tour.
