HSR 286 Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Last I heard people were dancing on tables, talking the courtyard area, this was over 10 years ago and another 26 in personal memory. Way before my.time, was the Jimi gig down the Steep stairs? Holding a pint was tricky being over six foot. After entering, can't recall a bar? I think this was rougly 1982. Toilets extreme left, one female, one male. Recall music being played but no dance.area, access came from the main buildings fire escape Which at the time was called the Garage. Anybody recall the acoustic sets? In between rooms, recall psychedelic furs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 I must've missed this video when it first appeared but it's interesting to see the musical history of the place. I don't think I ever went to The Garage for a gig, but I was definitely aware of it when it was operating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 286 Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Dont recall ever going to a gig there, a quirky place, upstairs 'dance' floor was odd, wooden box seats around the perimeter in almost total darkness. The door policy was interesting, if you weren't dressed in black you didn't get in...?? However when looking at the people on the fire escape, a huge cross section! Obviously got fussy when nearing capacity. The Door's reference in the video is obviously complete hogwash. Was the Jimi gig down them steep steps?... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 286 Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 The Beachcomber was in this vicinity..which building? Way before my time, but I'm guessing, gig wise, underground, access from the courtyard? Orginally, the Garage covered both buildings, courtyard in latter-day was closed.. Never found an answer to this, I would love to know.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 286 Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Further to my question, was the Beachcomber in the courtyard down the steep stairs? Regarding LIVE MUSIC? My limited knowledge is about 1982, both at 90 degree angle downstairs, were a couple of single toilets..left and a small bar to the right, which I never saw open. This seems the most likely..venue? . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
