FYI - Frost, Kaiser and the Greek all under 9000... but the 89 shows were the last for each of these
My opinion is the boundary for what information we maintain with respect to venues ought to be what the official name of the location was at the time they performed there. This would take care of name changes over time. Having a second entry for the venue based on address while not only unrelated to deadlist's core purpose would necessitate a field for addresses.... My .02 anyway. -----Original Message----- From: owner-deadli...@nemesis.cs.berkeley.edu [mailto:owner-deadli...@nemesis.cs.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Harry Angus Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2013 10:26 AM To: deadlists@nemesis.CS.Berkeley.EDU Subject: Charlotte Coliseum-there were two Charlotte Coliseum (old) 2700 East Independence Blvd Charlotte, North Carolina 28205 Capacity 9605 Architect was A.G. Odell and Associates of Charlotte, NC. It was opened and dedicated in 1955, as Charlotte Coliseum. At the time, it was the largest unsupported steel dome in the world. Bojangles' Coliseum (originally Charlotte Coliseum and formerly Independence Arena and Cricket Arena) remains as a multi-purpose arena, in Charlotte, North Carolina. 12/10/73 Grateful Dead 5/3/79 Grateful Dead 10/5/84 Grateful Dead 11/10/91 Jerry Garcia Band (unclear in which Charlotte Coliseum this took place) ########################### Charlotte Coliseum (new) 100 Paul Buck Boulevard Charlotte, North Carolina 28266 Capacity 23780 This was actually the second building to use the name "Charlotte Coliseum". It was opened on August 11, 1988 with a dedication by the Rev. Billy Graham. At the time the venue was seen as state-of-the-art, complete with luxury boxes and a large eight-sided video scoreboard. The city of Charlotte sold the property, and the building was demolished via implosion on June 3, 2007. 10/22/89 Grateful Dead 10/23/89 Grateful Dead 6/11/91 Grateful Dead 6/12/91 Grateful Dead 11/10/91 Jerry Garcia Band (unclear in which Charlotte Coliseum this took place) 6/17/92 Grateful Dead 6/18/92 Grateful Dead 3/22/95 Grateful Dead 3/23/95 Grateful Dead 3/24/95 Grateful Dead In 1989 I don't think the Grateful Dead played 9000 capacity venues anymore. Maybe on Deadlists there should be seperate pages for each of the two Charlotte Coliseums. Thanks Harry Angus
