That’s a great story! Thanks for sharing.

Great description and very accurate. Fun times in that building.

Exactly.

AC/DC, 1982, was the worst for me, and I went to tons of concerts there in the late 70’s, early 80’s (thanks Beaver Productions). OD’s, drug sales on the floor, passed out drunks in the aisles, a mushroom cloud of pot and cigarette smoke hovering over the crowd, topless chicks in the crowd, etc.

Wouldn’t have missed any of those concerts. Great times!

The Centroplex story reminds me of a Motley Crue concert in Shreveport in the 80s. My family was out of town on vacation and I stayed home to work. Went to the concert that weekend, where all our hometown crew passed joints on the floor and had a good time.

Headline the next day was 13 Arrested at Concert. Undercover assholes busted kids for weed. We avoided it by dumb luck.
