This is a nice venue. I have seen Jackson Brown and Don McLean oh and a few others and it has great atmosphere.

I saw Jackson Browne at the Strand a few years back.. he was on a solo tour.. it was great. He really seemed to enjoy the Strand as well. On a side note.. I've been to a few Jackson Browne concerts, and I've been mistaken for Jackson Browne on more than one occasion. this was back when I was quite a few pounds lighter But twice it got me to the front of the concession stand line. Before I was "found out" LOL |

That's definitely a compliment to be confused with Jackson! He's quite handsome! I saw him a few years ago too at the Strand!

I recorded the show. Unfortunately I sat beside a loud drunken JB fan who is audible throughout. I sometimes listen back when the guy informs JB that he saw Planet of the Apes on that stage and JB's comment about hearing a distinct dialect. It is really quite comical. The recording is also compromised by a bevy of female fans constantly professing their love for old JB.

Pink Floyd light show in 96. The sound system was not that great the show had brought with them. It came back I did not go the second time. To many concerts over the years have done damage to my ears. Nice looking venue with a rich history.

Jackson Brown and his friend Rosie I was sitting near the same drunk. When Brown changed the lyrics to Cocaine so say do not do Coke then the drunk went wild and started the name calling. It did put a damper on the music a bit. Jackson held his head high and did a great job despite the drunk redneck and his insults.

Just for the record we must have all been at the same concert because I remember that obnoxious drunk too! I also remember smelling pot and was stunned that people were smoking that at the elegant Strand! Oh wait this is Louisiana!

I saw Eric Clapton at the Gold Dome in the early to mid 80's. One of the few concerts at the gold dome as I recall. The Hirch and Municipal where typically "very smokey" but the Gold Dome was filled with mom and pop's with the lights on. I kept wondering when the lights would go off but they never did. Someone fired up a doobie, and even Eric said something on stage about it. That was one brave stoner!
