Good to see some new posts. Shoeshoe please do not take offense to what is going on here. The Capitol was a shrine to many of us who grew up in that area. I for one enjoyed countless shows there for a 10-12 year period. The memories are cherished ones. These comments are all part of the history of the Capitol,as well as a small part of the history of many of our lives. Please do not take offense but let us enjoy a part of our youth once more. Come on this IS nostalgia!
Myossi,A follow up to March 11 comments. The Passaic cop who I mentioned was named Red Raff. The seats in front of the mixing board were just that. we did no recording . THose were the seats Red waable to get for us on a regular basis. The more I look back the more memories come back. It was a great replacement for the Filmore. Good times ,good music. The list goes on.
Thanks for the memories! As a local resident I was fortunate enough to have attended about 50-60 shows over the years. Including the first one with J Geils and Humble Pie I think the face value ticket was $4.50 or $5.50 and I am sure the 200 people or so in the theater that night did not cover the tab. Towards the later years we were given access to the theater from a Passaic cop who always worked the detail “Red”. Seats were right in front of the sound board. The sounds,the smells. Any old Hedielbergers out there should chime in to,Dr.Jim,Rudy,Gretch,Don Tron and the list goes on. Glad to have found this site. Thanks.
