Growing up in Waterbury,CT I frequented Lowe’s Poli and then The Palace hundreds of times . I remember seeing many movies there as a kid,then some concerts there while attending Sacred Heart High,and then on college break from UCONN.
I saw James Taylor there in the early 70’s,and i remember many rock concerts there,including Yes, Kansas, Boston…Kiss played there and legend has it they set fire to the stage drapes. Skynryd played there ,and the next day their tour bus rammed into a small drive-up bank near the Holiday Inn on Union St….Boston played there during their initial tour..I went to an Oldies show there in the mid 8o’s featuring The Buckinghams,gary Lewis,rob grill( of the grass roots),and the Turtles( who headlined ).
I was at the tony Bennett show when the theater closed; i volunteered as an usher and briefly met Tony after the show.
Many great memories of movies and shows at this venue.
