re: Saturday night in Shreveport

I lived in Shreveport for over 30 years and I definitely would not recommend anyone, a local and especially not a visitor, attempt walking to the Municipal Auditorium. You’re taking a chance walking from the parking lot, much less the Hilton. I would recommend Uber or Lyft, taxi, anything that could drop you near the door. If you already have reservations at the Hilton don’t let the cheerleader crowd discourage you.
The Shreveport Municipal Auditorium is one of the most underrated music (sound) venues that exist. It kinda reminds me of Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and with the way it’s laid out, there’s is really a bad seat in the place. It’s a place where music legends were created in the 1950’s and you’ll be on hallowed ground as far as musical history. As you may be aware Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Faron Young, KittyWells,Johnny Horton Jim Reeves Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Lefty Frizzel and a lot of other stars from that era played there on a regular basis.
