Yea I agree with all that, tip up seats, higher stage, they were wood & glass doors on the sides of the stage, Susan can't remember Jimmy Lightbown up the Con, maybe it wasnt cool enough for him. I cant recall where the records were played, was there a DJ, I cant remember anybody on the stage playing records, like they did at the Mecca.
