In the second episode we visit Armadillo World Headquarters, a legendary Austin venue that brought huge acts between 1970-1981. Owner Eddie Wilson talks more about the nostalgic location and the huge names that performed in its time.
I was there the night the Armadillo opened and caught nearly every major concert for the next 8 years before I moved away. I was really sad to hear it had closed.
Saw the B52's, DEVO and the Ramones here....Sharon Tates Baby throwing dildos at the crowd, haha! Great series, now can you do Rauls and Dukes Royal Coach Inn?
I used to go to the Armadillo all the time when I was at Southwest Texas State...saw the Dead, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, The B52s, The Police, and on and on...Great place and greater memories.
Thanx for everything Eddie! For the 'Dillo and for the pie.
