@ jplh2750, the color photo upload of the Sky-Hi screentower is courtesy of Victory Christian Church at the same location. I asked them for the photo to use on my Facebook page (Cool Stuff Long Gone Near Youngstown Ohio). If you could please credit the photo to them

hack commented about Variety Theatre on Jun 28, 2008 at 9:02 am

I was at the Variety Theater on 2/12/84 for the Motorhead show. Exciter from Canada and Mercyful Fate from Denmark opened for them.
The buzz outside the theater was the new record “Kill Em All” by a band called Metallica. Motorhead indeed was the loudest EVER, and I remember Lemmy saying to the crowd something like “they’re kicking us off” (the stage). The next day I believe I failed my 11th grade chemistry test. Later, I remember there was an article in Circus magazine that detailed how the “plaster fell from the ceiling” at the Motorhead show. I wish I still had that article. Anyways, the Variety was a great place to see live music!
