In an effort to take over the world, Live Nation has signed a long term lease to run and operate the 4,000 capacity Hollywood Palladium. Live Nation already owns/operates or have exclusive booking arrangements with the House of Blues (Los Angeles and Anaheim), the Avalon, the Wiltern,the Long Beach Arena, the Honda Center, Gibson Amphitheater, Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, and the Hyundai Pavillion. The company also promotes and produces
concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, Dodger Stadium and Staples Center.
From Billboard: Bruce Eskowitz, Live Nation's CEO of North American Music, says the new lease agreement is part of the company's strategy to accommodate touring acts at all levels. "Basically, wherever an artist is in their career, we'd like to have a venue in the major markets that can accommodate the right play for them." Eskowitz tells Billboard.biz. "We've been working on this for some time."
The Palladium will be under construction for 18 months to be brought back to its glory days and get some serious renovations. I am not a big fan of big venues to begin with, largely because of non-intimate feeling I get when watching a band play the Wiltern or Gibson, but the fact that one company will booking all large bands throughout Los Angeles also scares me a bit.
perhaps when they're done with it, it won't have the WORST SOUND OF ANY VENUE IN L.A.

I think you need a bit more of a story with this as this isn't really a news story in perhaps when they're done with it, it won't have the WORST SOUND OF ANY VENUE IN L.A.
will be happy to be proved wrong with this one.... but having done survival training during my Army days, I have to admit to a raised eyebrow with this as well.

We must not allow our creative protestto degenerate into physical violence. again and again we mustrise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soulforce. the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negrocommunity must not lead us to distrust of all white people, formany of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence heretoday, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up withour destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to ourfreedom.
