Bill Graham built his last big room on a closed landfill beside the bay, with a white tent roof meant to echo the tents of the Fillmore posters. The ground vents methane, and for years the flares and the settling were part of the deal. The Grateful Dead played the opening weekend and kept coming back.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
