"The Warehouse" in New Orleans

any of you elderly folks ever attend concerts at the old Warehouse in New Orleans? I wish I had grown up at the time where I could have enjoyed a place like this. The world is too concerned about itself to allow for stuff like this.
that may not be entirely true, but it was certainly a different time.

My dad played there a bunch back in the day. Jealous of all the shows that came through there.

I saw The Cars there many, many years ago. It was great.

The live songs at the beginning of ZZ Top's Fandango' LP were recorded there.
I've heard a bunch of cool stories over the years from people who saw shows there.

My mom used to talk about sneaking out nod catching shows there.

-The Doors last concert ever was at the Warehouse
-The Grateful Dead staple "Truckin" was written about a bust following a show at the Warehouse

Didn't know that.
The Allman Brothers Band was considered the house band there.

my brother in law got a piece of Townsend's guitar when he was in HS. When we saw the Who there in college he no longer destroyed his equip. Poco was one of the best i saw there. The Who, Tull, Wishbone Ash, Loggins/Messina, New Riders, Trapeze, man i wish i could remember...(but no wonder, more than age took its toll)

Ah, Wishbone Ash. I forgot about them. Saw them at the Warehouse too. Very good show!

Yep, Wishbone Ash had a huge following in NO. Saw them at the Warehouse and also at UNO at the old basketball arena (the House of Horrors).

Saw Styx open for Wishbone Ash. Had never heard of Styx at the time.
PS. At 55 wouldn't exactly consider myself elderly.

You picked up a small throw rug to sit on the concrete floor when you came in the door. Great memories !

impressive L.A.
Didn't live in NOLA so didn't see near as many.
As I think back now, I dunno if there was any dope smoking enclave I ever visited in the U.S. as cool. I can remember the smoke being so dense and get so exhausted at shows that I would lift my head upwards to get in a little oxygen. This is the part where folks say "shows I can remember".
Looking over the comments I think there were the most of us at the ELP show. One day, I'll get inspired and dig out some pics I have from my pocket Instamatic camera there.
