I know it’s been 30 years, but a big belated thanks to your family – your father in particular – for putting on the rock movies. As a young and budding musician, it was the greatest thing in the world to immerse yourself and see movies that no one had even heard of. I saw Emerson, Lake and Palmer’s “Rock and Roll Your Eyes” there, along with Neil Young’s “Journey Through The Past” and Led Zep and the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. What a great way to grow up. And I seem to recall there were live bands there every once in a while, or is my memory failing with age??? And yes, I recall that smoking pot was part of the experience. It was one of the very few theaters in existence where there were no worries about getting busted. And since cigarettes hadn’t been banned yet from indoor venues, the smog on the inside was frequently thicker than the smog outside…Thanks again!
