Nice nostalgic piece. I went many times. Grand Funk Railroad, Ted Nugent, Black Sabbath to name a few. It was a great experience, however badly we might have behaved at the time.
I often wonder how on earth we didn’t all burn up in there. With all the matches and lighters being flicked to light all sorts of unmentionables and people so drunk or stoned jammed in there, it is amazing no one caught on fire!
Fun Times for sure!
Saw my first concert there, Bob Seger in 1976 or 77. Ticket cost $5.
