I lived in New Orleans in that era and attended over 50 concerts there. I don't ever remember anybody saying "A Warehouse." It was always "The Warehouse."
Pretty sure the radio commercials usually said "at a Warehouse, in New Orleans ).

Later in the documentary (I recommend watching the whole thing . . . especially if you were a regular) they talk about the transition to "A-warehouse". They began to use that name in radio commercials.
It's too bad that the producers of the film couldn't afford to buy the rights to the actual Warehouse performances.

I think I have the documentary saved on my DVR. I was flipping channels a couple months ago and saw this on WYES. I didn't have a clue what it was about but recorded it thinking it had something to do with the development of the warehouse district. I never got around to watching it but it looks like I have something to do tonight.

The Documentary is awesome. No way any venue could boast of the line up the Warehouse had, no way. The Alllman Bros loved playing there because NO had the best Herion!

Saw probably 30 shows at the Warehouse from 1970-1978. Off the top of my head, I saw Joe Cocker, Ten Years After, Bob Marley, Herbie Hancock, Blue Oyster Cult, Alvin Lee, Eric Burton Band, ELO, Dave Mason, Peter Frampton, Rush, Leon Russell, Fleetwood Mac, Robin Trower, Hydra, Brian Auger Oblivion Express, The Crusaders, Crack the Sky, Wet Willie, Ramsey Lewis, Al Jarreau etc., etc. But truth be told, I also missed quite a few shows I regret...

I was a freshman in college and 18, came from Baton Rouge to see the original Allman Brothers before 2 or 3 of them got killed in those 2 motorcycle accidents. Saw Duane Allman play with Dickey Betts dual leads, for about 4 hours. They enjoyed it as much as the audience. This was New Years Eve about 1970. Saw them again with Foghat and saw Black Oak Arkansas later. The Warehouse was great in the early 70's.

Haven't viewed the link, but if it's the same documentary that aired on WYES a couple of months ago, it's great.
I think the original legal documents identified the business as "A Warehouse". Anyone growing up in N.O. during the 70's knew it as "The Warehouse".
