A few years ago, someone SOMEWHERE on the web posted pictures of the Palace Projection booth that were taken in the 80’s showing the OLD booth before restoration with the old 1950’s era RCA equipment. Anyone have any idea where these pictures appeared? Dozens of Google searches have given me nothing.

As a lifelong Albany resident I was thrilled with the renovation of the Palace. I saw a couple of movies there as a kid (including Bambi)and have enjoyed many, many concerts there through the years. Unfortunately, someone ran a car into the front doors at least a year ago and half of the front doors were boarded up. I don’t understand why they have not been repaired yet. Could they plan on leaving this beautiful theater with half the entrance covered in plywood? Also, there are some areas of peeling paint in the theater. Whoever did the restoration should have to come back and repair what has not held up. It would be a shame to let the theater fall back into disrepair.

The Palace hosted many a concert in the late 70’s and into the 80’s. Devo, the Tubes, Elvis Costello as well as comedy acts. The back stage area is also enlarged to accomodate larger road show engagements. Of course, Proctors in Schenectady added to it’s back stage to promote larger Broadways tours.
Patsy….As soon as I get a chance, I’ll explain it to you via email.
Lost: You know, I have to admit that I was wondering the same thing as Warren G. Harris! Where are all of those “misterboo” contributions as I haven’t seen a single one either! :)
Keep looking. You might get lucky.
You didn’t answer the question. Where are all those contributions by “misterboo” that you keep defending? I haven’t seen a single one.
Lo Mem is better than Lo Life!
Who is this new arrival called “misterboo,” and where is he posting? I can’t find anything with that signature in the above. Is Lo Mem hallucinating yet again?
Exactly my point. Thanks for understanding that. Some people on this site just don’t get it.
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
It is only right to give credit where credit is due! Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving!
Patsy….“misterboo” found the link to those photos and didn’t get a chance to post them. Just making sure that he gets the credit for them.
I think LaMotta won that fight.
You are always welcome, my theatre friend! :–)
Thanks Patsy!
“misterboo”: Thanks!
