Yah no Gabriel…

Live shows and venues could almost have its own thread.

Music was such a huge part of my adolescence, and my kids are fully engulfed in every genre I enjoy today

When was the reno? 95-97ish?

In that time period yeah....'96-'99....

I only managed to see one show there prior to the reno, The Tea Party and Econolone Crush iirc.

What a difference the floor was post reno tho. Never the same

Yeah...the whole vibe changed as well...I get it but still much preferred the old school Commodore.

Catching a Ramones show there with the old horsehair cushion was great! Hundreds of people pogoing and giving the floor a workout! It was fun to stop for a minute and just feel what the floor was doing.

I went in there blind to the whole experience.

I was trippin’ balls when people started jumping to the opening song and I felt I was on a trampoline being double-bounced. (Stone sober, might I add)
