Georgia Theatre Burns…

Just painful.

I am assuaging my sadness by imagining the benefit concert…


…Fall 2009 on the first non Football Saturday, the only concert ever to be allowed at Sanford Stadium:

12:30 Pylon, opened Georgia Theatre after renovation in 1988

2:00 The Whigs

3:30 Wide Spread Panic

Eveing show separate admission, but combined tickets available:

7:00 Neutral Milk Hotel (probably won’t show)

8:00 B-52’s

9:30 REM

$45 per segment, $75 for a combined ticket.

Thoughts? IRE?

    The only time I went there was for Derek Trucks.

    They’ve always been at AU AFAIK. Only decent non-local show AU has had was Bob Mould in 05 or 06. Great show, and a better story to tell.

    Has the Dave Matthews Cover Band already moved their headquarters to Andrews Upstairs or will it merely be a formality now that their home venue is no more?

    If you have pictures of yourself, your friends, or your family at the Georgia Theater, let Dustin know. We are going to work on a tribute post. Send your picture and a short caption about the event. (I.E. “This is me and my mom at the B-52 Concert”).

    Email them to:

    Yeah, OK, NMH is gonna get back even for a Georgia Theater benefit.

    Half of those bands are cool.

    I’d be cool with like an Elephant 6 reunion.

    I’d like to add Mel & The Party Hats to the list. They used to close the place down (back when Georgia Theatre was open till 4am).
