there was a fellow electrician there, Albert ( the guy got me the job there) and he was a phptographer and i’m sure he took hundreds of photos….
I havent been able to track him down for years and hope this convo comes up in a google search…rotf….( and if he’s still alive)
aarfeld….
It was amazing just being on the same stage that Jimi Hendrix performed on..lol
The atmosphere was incredible. Even tho' I was there to work, it was a party.
I found some stuff..( I also have the “artifacts 13” newspaper clipping.
I will post another program later.
In the mean time, here is another newspaper clipping and the First Day Program.
There was another theater that ran German movies in the early to late 60’s on Wyckoff Ave near Dekalb Ave or Stanhope-Stockholm Streets.
Anyone have the name of it or is it listed here?
I was a house electrician there when Barry Stuart re-opened it as NFE.
I worked for “Shadow” who was Barry’s personal assistant and my personal friend.
Jonn Wire was the head electrician….
I was not really privvy to why it failed as a venue, but it was one of my most memorable experiences along with McSorleys and Club 82 in
that area.
I have some clippings and other stuff buried in a box of memories in the attic….
Is one able to post images here or links to them?
I will scan them when I find them
