Just doing a little research, after listening to another Winterland show...
Winterland Ballroom - Wikipedia
The venue was opened on June 29, 1928, as the New Dreamland Auditorium.[2] It served as an ice skating rink that could be converted into a seated entertainment venue. Sometime in the late 1930s the building's name was changed to Winterland, and it successfully operated through the Great Depression
The arena was located at the corner of Post Street and Steiner Street, it was converted to exclusive use as a music venue in 1971 by concert promoter Bill Graham
Winterland closed on New Year's Eve 1978 / New Year's Day 1979 with a concert by the Grateful Dead, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and The Blues Brothers. The show lasted for over eight hours, with the Grateful Dead's performance—documented on DVD and CD as The Closing of Winterland—lasting nearly six hours. After the show, the crowd was treated to a hot, buffet-style breakfast. The final show was simulcast on radio station KSAN-FM and also broadcast live on the local PBS TV station KQED.[10]
Winterland was eventually razed in 1985 and replaced by apartments.

Moving onto Bill Graham, he was a holocaust survivor, who was rescued and transported to France in the 1930's.
...At the age 10, he arrived in New York as a foster child.
