The venues the Mac played during it's heyday are rapidly disappearing around the country it seems. I've seen websites for other artists like Elvis & Bob Dylan that document pictures of every venue those artists played. Kind of neat, definitely gives you more of a feel of those eras for sure.
Sorry for the diversion, folks- history & geography fascinate me endlessly.

I enjoy all your posts.
The interesting thing to me about these various coliseums built for concerts is the fact that they cost multi millions to build and seem to have a shelf life of around 20 years. Then they are demolished to make way for the latest greatest technological building.
