@rowd - it does get confusing with all those shows! ![]()
I forget where it is, but somewhere on the internet is a list of all the shows that took place at Winterland; you should be able to find it. I was at a great many of them myself from Sept '73 onwards.... Bill Graham had enough juice that bands almost always played there on weekend nights. Those would usually be really good bands on those shows, even the support ones.
Did you see Robin Trower there in '74 when Sha-Na-Na was the headliner? Robin tore the roof off the sucker, the place went nuts, and he was demanded back for 3 encores, and these were REAL encores, not pre-planned ones. I don't think many people remained for Sha-Na-Na. Came back to Winterland in '75 and headlined a Day on the Green later that year.
