Lg.Is, NY The Downtown(rock club) closed its doors =0(

I know there are some Rock/metals fans in here.
In today's Newsday (pg A10) I learned that The
Downtown has closed its doors. I'm shocked by
this since it's part owned by SAm Ash music stores.
I was told that last year. I've seen some great shows
there. 1st CBGB's in the city now this. What a bummer.

 

Yeah that sucks. Its the best club on Long Island. I guess that means the Exodus show in October isnt happening. Ive seen many great shows there. --Billy

 

Oh man .....

well, one less place for Sharon Osbourne's egg-throwin' cronies to do their dirty deeds.

Oh the puns ...

if it makes you feel better, for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. A newer and better place will spring up and continue the Long Island rock legacy. And there's still the collectible's place across the street, right RnR???

Sorry to hear the bad news but after seeing New Orleans in ruins, I can't seem to shed a tear right now. Maybe that's why I'm heading 2 fund raisers for Red Cross.

Anyway! My ears are still ringing from Gigantour at the beach. Symphony X did it for me but Megadeth popped my eardrums.

TTYL fellas.

END TRANSMISSION

 

I wasn't much for Gigantour but to be fair, it's not my taste in music. I was there interviewing Megadeth's crew and then split after Nevermore (who were actually pretty good).

 

Clive, I had photo pass for DT/ Megadeth .
Took some of the best pix of my life.
I do have to agree Nevermore was good.
Found this:

Artist/Event: Gigantour: MEGADETH, DREAM THEATER, FEAR FACTORY, NEVERMORE, LIFE OF AGONY, SYMPHONY X, DRY KILL LOGIC, BOBAFLEX
Venue: Tommy Hilfiger at Jones Beach Theater
City/State: Wantagh, N.Y.
Date: Aug. 23, 2005
Attendance: 5,122
Capacity: 9,616

Plus I heard that night they gave away 500 free tixx.

 

I was at the Gigantour as well. I was there for Megadeth who were very good. I didnt have any interest in the other bands. Dream Theatre was not a good match for this tour. --BIlly

 

Where did you find that info? Billboard's BoxScore chart?
