Donald Fagen of Steely Dan once wrote a song called âHey Nineteenâ in which an aging gentleman sings to his much younger girlfriend âHey Nineteen, we got nothing in common.

Promoter Bill Grahamâs western outpost had hosted most of the biggest names in Bay Area music including the Grateful Dead, Santana, CCR, Quicksilver Messenger Service and the Jefferson Airplane, when he brought Aretha to town for three nights in early March 1971.
