I was at this show with my fraternity bros. It was definitely at OSU's Mershon Auditorium. I thought I saw another show at the same venue alone...that could only have been the April show from the same year but I'm a little fuzzy on that one.
yes, the venue was changed day of the event, from St. John's Arena, where the basketball team played, I'm thinking twelve to fifteen thousand capacity to Mershon, which i think is around one thousand. Did not research the numbers here, just guestimating, but, i did attend events at both venues. This was my first show. Was more of a Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna fan, and only had the commercial releases and a King Biscuit show, but was pleasantly surprised, and began a rather long, strange trip that continues today. Gotta love a Dark Star at your first show, but, I didn't really appreciate it then as i did years later.
st john's arena holds 13,000 but rock concerts were not allowed to seat in the upper deck, thus reducing the capacity. Bands were still charged the full fee for rental, however. This contributed to the swotch to Mershon, which has around a 2500 seat capcity. This show was in my hometown, but i was 8 years old at the time and didn't get on the bus until my freshman year in high school. (1985)
If the thunder don't get you, the lightning will!!
Definitely was at Mershon. I had to be held down by big (6) police on the sidewalk on High St after the show for no good reason.....wife talked them out of arresting me....thankfully....
