The Winterland Ballroom was an old ice skating rink in San Francisco which was located at the corner of Post Street and Steiner Street. It later was taken over by rock promoter Bill Graham, and became legendary for the shows that happened there. Bands such as The Rolling Stones, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Jethro Tull, The Jefferson Airplane, and Elvis Costello played there. Winterland closed on New Years 1979 with a concert by the Grateful Dead, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and the Blues Brothers. It was torn down a few years later, and was replaced by apartment condominiums and a Burger King.
