We saw a lot of shows there. Metallica, Ozzfest, Vans Warped Tour, Weezer, Scorpions, Green Day to name a few. They had an air conditioned private bar and rest area you could go to between acts if you had a pass so while there was a monster queue for the other fans my daughter and her friends could just walk in and relax. Good times indeed. It had a few name changes over the years and since we moved away I don’t even know if it’s still open.
There are better venues now on the Northside. It’s a pretty high-crime vicinity. And it is in the City of Atlanta proper, whose police force is 20-25% understrength, and whose mayor, council and DA are feckless on crime and support for the police (even though there is a new DA since last Summer). No thanks.
There’s a similar scale nicer amphitheater in Alpharetta, a really nice smaller indoor venue in the Galleria area, and a similar sized indoor venue in Gwinnett.
Looks like they’re starting back up in July with the Black Crowes.
