Later years it was known as the Electric Ballroom, which became an important role player in Milwaukee’s music sceen. Some of the acts to have performed were; Elvis Costello, AC/DC & Todd Rundgren. Later it’s name was changed to the Palms, hosting such acts as the Police, Metalica, Poco, Pretenders, the Cars and U2. Anyone have dates for when the ballroom open and when the Palms closed? Any photos? Judging from the description, a stage must have been added with a dressing room to the theater. I never had the chance to see any shows there.
