The Big Star poster on the wall at The Fillmore. The poster was made for their show there on June 5, 1994. The openers were The Shatners (Counting Crows using a pseudonym) and The Gigolo Aunts. The Counting Crows opened just out of Adam Duritz's fondness of Big Star. They had played four sold out shows at The Fillmore earlier that year.

Big Star played a show at The Fillmore in San Francisco on Saturday, October 20th. According to drummer Jody Stephens, "It's my favorite place to play. Bill Graham started producing shows there in 1963. The Grateful Dead, Cream, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Doors and Janis Joplin all got their start there. Oranger opened and was a pleasure to have on the bill.

"In addition to the usual songs, our set included Hung Up With Summer, February's Quiet, Lady Sweet and Whole New Thing. One of the engaging and suspenseful things for me about our shows is from time to time they go a little out of focus. Then everything comes together and those focused moments have a bit more impact along with a sigh of relief.

Some entertaining faces in the audience...lots of smiles, a person doing interpretive movement while singing along, and a girl whose face was kind of a true reflection of what was going on on stage...her expressions would go from curiosity to wonderment.

This was our third show at The Fillmore. Dates for the others were: June 5, 1994 and March 2, 2002. Time flies, insist on having fun now!"
