Venue notes: Maceba Theater, HoustonShut down in the 80s because of major asbestos problems. (Thanks to Frank Anderson.)Recalling the 17 Apr 1987 Hüsker Dü show here 16 years after the fact, Jeff Jackson writes: "Opening bands were Christmas and Cargo Cult. The venue was downtown in an old movie ballroom with red curtains and red seats. there was only a five foot place to stand in front of the stage. Everyone wanted to stand in front and not sit down. [The place had] a balcony [but was] without a/c. The urinals were held in place by duct tape, one of the best uses of duct tape I have seen." [Do you have more information about this venue?
