Did you know that Bruce Springsteen began his “Born to Run” tour at this theater (it was called the Palace at the time) in the summer of 1975? The band had just finished recording the album in New York City— way behind schedule— and they jumped into the van for the drive to Providence for that night’s concert. An amazing moment in rock & roll history— right in Providence!
My wife and I attended a concert by Chicago, the band, at the PPAC in September, and both the concert and the surroundings were lovely. The restoration on this theater has been first rate! Thanks.

Ah! Thank you for the correction. I was just reading about the Lowe’s State— another beautiful theater, wonderfully restored. (My wife and I went to see Chicago, the band, there in September— and both the concert and the surroundings were lovely!) Thanks again for the correct information.
