Winterland was a San Francisco music venue, booked by Bill Graham, and famous for such events as The Last Waltz, countless Grateful Dead shows, Jimi Hendrix, and the final appearance of The Sex Pistols. Originally built as a skating rink it had a capacity of 5,400. It was located at the corner of Post and Steiner Streets, just a short walk from the original Fillmore Auditorium, located on Geary Blvd at Fillmore Street.
It closed on New Years Eve 1978, with performances by the Grateful Dead, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and the Blues Brothers. Torn down soon after, it is now housing and home to a Burger King.
