As far as shows, I saw Lorde's first US show there and it was incredible. I thought the sound was just fine, although it was electronic so I'm sure that made a difference vs. real instruments. Anyway, the confetti drop at the end of the show is one of my favorite memories in Austin. I share some of your nostalgia.
I think that last bit standing was part of the renovation from when new owners took over, yeah it kind of made the place look cooler. How fun would it be sitting at the controls and tearing things down?
