@allenf1963 , I had the pleasure of discovering Ziggy’s in 1994. I was working as a movie extra and housed in the vacant Hane’s pantyhose plant next to WFU. We got bored one night and went on campus to find something to do. Stumbled onto Ziggys and decided to check it out. Saw Ozric Tentacles one night and Leftover Salmon the next. Truly epic venue. Looked like a little honkytonk bar, but go down some stairs and bam, a huge concert hall. One of my favorite bits of serendipity.
Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?
Concert Ticket Prices Are Expected to Keep Rising in 2025 and Beyond
keeps me wondering if it's even worth it anymore (smaller live music venues excluded as they don't typically charge as much)

@pvnasby -- That's awesome! I was at that Ozric Tentacles show. They were touring their "Arboresence" album at that show. I've listened to them for years, a fantastic Prog/Psychedelic/Space Rock band. That show was October 19th, 1994. Leftover Salmon was October 20th.
Were you in town filming "Marriage, Pride & Madness" by chance? I know that movie was in town at that time. My good buddy was an employee of the NC School of the Arts in their Film School Department at that time. He was in charge of purchasing all the equipment for the studios and screening rooms they were building as they expanded. Had some GOOD times going in with him when the school was closed and playing around with the audio gear in the movie theaters! There may or may not have been some "Alice In Wonderland" activities while Led Zep's "Song Remains The Same" blared on the big screen! |
