Sockii - Citizens Bank Park, Wachovia Center, Theatre of the Living Arts, Liberty Bell Park, The Spectrum, Walnut St. Theatre, John F. Kennedy Stadium, First Union Center, Chestnut Theatre, The Academy of Music


Some of those I can get easily. JFK Stadium is no more - the Wachovia Center stands on its ashes (which was previously known as the First Union Center or the FUC(k) for its crappy acoustics.)

The Spectrum is currently suffering a sad and sorry demise for such a legendary Philly venue...they couldn't implode it so it's a slow and wobbly banging to death with a wrecking ball:

Liberty Bell Park is now a shopping complex (Franklin Mills).

(Good) Citizens Bank Park I have photos of and I can definitely do the TLA, Walnut St. Theater and Academy of Music in the future.

I know in the DC area they played at the Cap Center back in the 80's which no longer exists. I can get a shot of the Verizon center where they played in Nov 2007.

Hi Dietmar: a photo of the Pittsburgh Civic Arena coming your way via your email. As for the "University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown" venue, unfortuantely that location is not in pittsburgh but is a remote campus, so I will not be able to manage that one. The 8 Aug 83 venue in Pgh- do you know if that was still the civic arena, or the 3 Rivers Stadium? (if it is the Stadium, I have a photo somewhere before that I took before the Stadium was demolished in 2002, I can get that to you as well).

Grabbed a photo of Exit/In from a local website but, now that I think about it, I really should take one especially for the Wiki, just to avoid copyright trouble. Soon, I promise.
On Google - site:stewartcopeland.net "your keyword here" - thanks DM!!
