"Fillmore: The Last Days"

During the 1960s, the Fillmore Auditorium, based in San Francisco, was a venue where the best bands of the day performed. They were all brought there by promoter Bill Graham, who drew jazz greats, r&b artists and even had poetry readings.

This documentary is a terrific look at the final five days of the original Fillmore, which closed in 1971. The DVD features some of the groups associated with the San Francisco sound. You can relive the times with the Grateful Dead, Santana, Boz Scaggs, Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna, It's A Beautiful Day and others.

Jimmy Buffett has a large and loyal following. He was the first performer to appear at Wrigley Field, and he drew more than 84,000 people over a two-day period. For the first time, his fans can enjoy 15 songs that were captured at concerts from all over the world. Enclosed with the DVD is a 12-page booklet with new photos. The songs include "Cheeseburger in Paradise," "Son of a Sailor," "Margaritaville," "Come Monday," "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes," "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" and many more.
