I once played an old theater in Bluefield With my band, it must have been in the late 80’s. It wasn’t a club at the time, it was more like a one-night gig that someone had set up. The theater was beautiful, very ornate, but very run-down. I think there were a couple of opera boxes on the wall either side of the stage. The stage area was wooden, with heavy curtains hung all around the back walls. During a set that night, there was a loud crash and lots of dust, we had to stop playing until the air cleared. The vibrations had brought one of the walls behind the curtains down! Gave us a scare, but the person in charge told us to keep going.
So much of that time is a blur, and I can’t remember the name of the theater. I’m obsessed with older buildings, and I can’t get this one out of my mind. Can anyone tell me if this is the theater I remember? Anyone have photos?
