Excellent summary of the "Carlton Theater" venue on 6/3 (aka The Count Basie Theater.) I, too, can remember attending movies and concerts here in the 70s and 80s. In fact, I remember a double bill of New Riders and Pure Prairie League circa 1979.

I'm looking forward to seeing a great DSO show there. Although I will feel a little sad thinking back to how The Dubliner which Pete refers to was a lot cooler when it was a small Irish hole in the wall bar down by the train tracks!
