Unlike a lot of you, I never got to enjoy The Trocadero during it’s hey day. In fact, I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a gig there. It’s possible I have not. But if you ask old Philly heads (or the dudes in Reign Supreme), they will likely wax poetically about the venue called The Troc. It’s still there. You can still see shows there. As long as you are interested in seeing Michael Ian Black, Matt & Kim, Pauly Shore or Echo And The Bunnymen (actually, that one might not be too bad). You aren’t likely to see any bouncers wearing this particular tanktop jnientertainment is selling. This was from the mid 90s when the venue wasn’t quite as classy as it is now. Of course, hardcore gigs still roll through this venue, but it’s usually on a bigger scale. The 10 For 10 tour was at the Troc. H2O played one of the anniversary shows there, … you see how it goes.
If you have a good Troc memory, leave a comment below. I’m interested in hearing it.
