Nyc 70s Hoodies
Description: The legendary Fillmore East was rock promoter Bill Graham's rock venue on Second Avenue near East 6th Street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. It was open from March 8, 1968, to June 27, 1971, during which it featured some of the greatest musical acts of all time. Jimi Hendrix recorded "Band of Gypsys" there, while the Allman Brothers Band, Joe Cocker, Frank Zappa, the Grateful Dead, The Who, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Jefferson Airplane and Miles Davis all recorded multiple live albums of their own. It was also a favorite spot for John Lennon, Led Zepplin, the Kinks, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Van Morrison and many more. An accurate replica you can say you scored from good will.
Description: Originally a leather bar with an obvious western theme when it opened in 1974, this West Village gay bar eventually played host to a rather diverse crowd with campy drag shows in it's latter years up until it's closing in 2014. This design celebrates Boots & Saddle's earliest incarnation that would end up becoming a 40-year old icon of New York's diverse LGBT scene.
Description: The Long Island Cougars were a minor league professional ice hockey team that played at the Long Island Arena in Commack, New York, from 1973 to 1975. The Cougars were a member of the North American Hockey League, and were runners up for the Lockhart Trophy to the Syracuse Blazers in the 1973–74 season. After the 1974-75 season, they would move to Pennsylvania and become the Erie Blades, who enjoyed much more on-ice success.
Description: One thing New York City has never been short on is NYC t-shirts for tourists and locals alike to snap up from street vendors and shops all over the city. After Lennon moved to New York City in 1971, he too grabbed his share of designs including this one most famously seen during a 1974 photoshoot, just six years before he was tragically murdered upon returning home to his New York apartment.
Description: "Welcome to Fear City" was a pamphlet, published in 1975 by a coalition of public-sector unions calling itself the Council for Public Safety, was ostensibly a guide meant for tourists who wanted to avoid danger during their visit to the big city. To a current-day New Yorker, its rules for safe conduct are laughable: Don't take the subway; never leave midtown Manhattan; stay inside after 6 p.m., no matter what neighborhood you're in.
