KTC won't forget where he was 30 years ago tonight - or 30 years ago tomorrow:
I spent my last evening at the old Boston Garden with Pearl Jam Cobain died a few days before and no one knew what to expect. The show started in pitch black, the 1st song Release. Epic. Saw them next night at Orpheum.
Depends on whether you believe the Herald:
[Don] Law said the Orpheum Theatre will undergo renovations this summer by owner Ronald Druker. “The discussion is ongoing, but my sense is they will be significant,” Law said.
Live Nation has sold the Orpheum, Opera House, and Paradise to newly-organized Opera House Ventures LLC, owned by concert promoter Don Law and Star Market heir David Mugar.
The Orpheum is 157 years old, and in such deplorable condition that any reasonable person should be ashamed to own it. Don and David, will you please invest some money and some TLC into making it habitable again?
Spatch tours the Orpheum, takes photos:
... It's heartbreaking to see it in its current condition, all run-down and stuff, and I know that it's definitely renovatable if one had the money and time, but for now, it has the appearance of a grande dame who's seen much better days. A lot of people still love this house, however, and would do whatever they could to fix it up... if they could. ...
