We used to see New Wave bands there in the 80s, like Depeche Mode and the band that sang “True.”

The Ebell is on 8th Street downtown.
Thanks for those details. The theater must of had incredible acoustics and sound for being a small side movie palace. All the more reason to appreciate these shows. While all similar its nice to hear a different night than the HBO recording. This is definitely not the HBO night because during Rhiannon, her intro is different and there is no "I wont forget you either."
