What is going on with the Syria Mosque site?

I saw a Three Stooges Film Festival there in the '80s.

Yes - we all did unfortunately. It continued throughout most of the 80's and 90's and again with the Wanny departure in football, and then with the Dixon departure in basketball.

[TheKellyTaylor]

Rumor I heard was new IS/CS building.

 

[djbpitt]

Shhhh. They finally listened to the six people on this board: They're moving the basketball team down there, tearing down The Pete and rebuilding Pitt Stadium. But don't tell anyone.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

UnAmerican!

 

[DruidTM]

Anything less than bringing back the Syria Mosque is abject failure

Saw Frank Zappa twice 84 and 88

Missing Persons once in 1984

Great place for a show

 

[Hailpitt]

Saw Springsteen there in mid 1970's. 10 th row. Became a fan for life.

 

[UPitt '89]

I saw BB King there as a student in the late 80's.

I saw Emerson, Lake, and Powell (not Palmer) there in the late '80s.

 

[ERICCARTMAN]

I saw the Bee Gees there with members of the Pittsburgh Symphony for $3.

Don't tell me I overpaid.

 

[BFo8]

First concert I ever saw was there, the legendary Bay City Rollers.

Let's see anybody top that!

[sibleyfan91]

I saw Emerson, Lake, and Powell (not Palmer) there in the late '80s.

That intro to Touch And Go would actually be cool intro music

 

[delcojim]

The Band, winter 1970.

 

[JS School]

I've seen just about every show mentioned here. The two most memorable though were a Gregg Allman solo concert where he did two encores. We were in the second balcony, by the time we got downstairs he came out a third time alone with an acoustic guitar. He sat on the edge of the stage and played a few songs for about 20 of us still in the building.

The other was the Doobie Brothers, we thought the opening act was good too. Some piano player we thought was named Billy Joe, was actually Billy Joel long before he became famous.

Almost forgot David Bowie's Diamond Dogs tour. A friend and I were wearing jeans and t shirts and felt completely out of place. Everyone else was covered in glitter.

 

[JS School]

Another good one was Jim Croce. He was on the same bill as George Carlin and I remember thinking that Croce's stories between songs were even funnier than Carlin's jokes.

 

[TD_istheman]

Petra! Christian Rock , they played there and it was great

 

[DruidTM]

Bowie on Diamond dogs would have been great ... Cozy Powell was a great drummer as well like his playing every bit as much as Carl Palmer... I still have my copy of Rainbows Down to Earth album and Powell was great on that
