I remember going there. They used to have cheap concerts from time to time...I am thinking a dollar? I saw Rory Gallagher...didn't know who he was....and totally blew me away.

Ok, I hate to keep poking into this thread, but the first rock concert that I ever saw was at Cowtown Ballroom,,,,1971...Frank Zappa and the Mothers with Flo and Eddie...$5.00. And yes, no chairs. "Please take off your shoes...we just waxed the floor!"
