Hey East Coast Rocker, yes Ron Poole is my dad. Me and my sister used to work backstage with Marsha, and my mom worked the bar downsairs by the ladies room. Do I know you? Or will I remember you?? or do you remember me? If you want to you can Email me privately :0)
Hey East Coast Rocker, did you work at the Palladium after Ron Delsner reopened it? My father was the manager there until Delsner left… the last show was Zebra, I remember that night well. My father stayed on for a bit when Robell and Scrager (sp?) took over but he could not take it anymore. The chandelier that was there was dropped to the ground and destroyed. I still have a few pieces of the crystals. My father used to take me all the way to the top where the circle was around the chandelier… there was this narrow, spiral staircase that seemed to go up forever… it was freakin dangerous, a few of the steps were actually missing. When you got up there you could look down over the whole orchestra, it was an awesome view.
I miss that place and can not believe what it became after Ron Delsner left it, and that it was just demolished like it never existed. On the 3rd floor behind the concession stands there was a HUGE storage room that no one used. We used to talk about turning it into a large loft type apartment. Back there were tons of old papers and artifacts. I have some stuff from that back room, but I am sure they demo’d all of the stuff that was in there along with the building. I can not even imagine the history that was in that area that I never saw and no one will ever see now.
I am trying to get together some info on the Palladium and put it up on my webpage… www.noelgypsy.netfirms.com … I have a pic or two up there now, if anyone has anything (photos, stories, etc) they would like to offer for me to post, that would be greatly appreciated. I have alot of old pictures that I will start scanning to post on the site. I have some pictures of the control backstage that are awesome, and many pictures of the chandelier.
