Nokia Theater NYC closing

Forums:

The scene of several infamous Phil shows and much more is closing. REALLY what is happening is that the Disco Biscuits are playing there on NYE and it’s best to just burn the place down after they and their followers have inhabited it. 

is it a loss Tri-Staters?

I'll say No.

Wasn't a great venue, but it was convenient.

It was worse as a movie theater.

 

Ratses it had, Precious.  Fat, poodle-size ratses, yessssssssssss.

Awww thanks man! I haven’t felt that warm inside in a while! 

Never been there, but t place always sounded weird & a little plastic in description, but it did have it's moments on the old zone.

Wasn't that where Poz dropped his drawers for Phil?

And I miss keyshawn.

It was a tad claustrophobic at times but certainly enjoyable during those early Phil runs. Back when I could stomach Jackie. I must admit to not being back since. Security were total jackwads, especially after this...

“LION King” audiences at the Minskoff have been sniffing the sweet scent of marijuana. It turns out the pot-head fans of former Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, who’s doing a nine-day stint at the Nokia Theater next door, were lighting up. “The smoke was so thick it was seeping through the wall and into the Disney audience, and they started complaining,” a spy at Monday’s show told The Post’s Bruce Golding. “The ushers are now very vigilant and making sure nobody lights up.” A Nokia rep admitted there were complaints. The Minskoff had no comment.

I have never been

I heard stories of dope smoking Lion King plays were quite popular there.

The place has very good sound. Security sucked ever since the the kids got stoned at the Lion King. Not a pretty venue but I hope someone opens more music spots. Losing too many

I blame The Lion King .....
