An ill wind was indeed blowing.

That place first opened in 1922, just over a century old. Was the roof rotten or otherwise compromised?

“The bands were: Revocation, Morbid Angel, and Skeletal Remains.”

At least the show lived up to the names of their acts.

Unfortunately the consequence of satanic death worship was lost on the attendees. Death just happened to come very quickly here.

No. The Palace Hotel concert was shot at the South Shore Cultural Center in Chicago which, I believe, was also the venue for the Obama wedding.

It looked like the ceiling collapsed. People didn’t seem to be getting wet during rescue attempts.

I just hope my ruff doesn’t fall on me before the world ends due to global warming.

"No Cradle of Filth?"

I came up with the ultimate heavy metal band name:

I remember the Belvidere tornado. We lived in Rockford, about 15 miles to the west. The sky, as we stood on the porch, was the darkest green black you could imagine. A lot of kids died that day, if I recall.

From a drone picture somebody took the same night, there were a lot of loose bricks atop the auditorium roof at the base of the stagehouse. I wonder if wind or a lightning strike caused part of the stagehouse to fall and land on the roof, collapsing it.
