This show was in the Centroplex and was absolutely horrible. Joe and Steven were so loaded they could hardly perform and the sound quality was atrocious.

1984-Bruce Springsteen

BS also played there in 1978 and 1980.

1977-Led Zeppelin

Also in '75.

1982-Fleetwood Mac

Centroplex. There was such a crowd at the front gate that my friend and I just walked in w/o a ticket and were mere feet from the stage.

1975-The Who

1980, too.

Some of the other shows you listed were in the Centrolplex as well, but your list gives a good indication of the cool shows that used to pass through BR back in the day. I'll also add that REM played at The Bayou on Chimes Street in 1982.

Bachman Turner Overdrive (w/The Climax Blues Band) played at the Assembly Center in 1975.

Foghat played there in 1978.

Styx (w/Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush) played there when I was in high school (not sure of the exact year).

Blondie, Bad Company, and Peter Frampton played there in '79.

The Sex Pistols played at the Kingfish in 1978 - I think that's where the Spectrum Fitness that's next to The Bulldog is now.
They had a lot of good punk and new wave shows back in the day. A librarian friend looked up the listings and I think the Ramones, Elvis Costello and the B-52s all had gigs at that club around that time.
The Pixies played the Bayou just before I enrolled at LSU in 1990. There were quite a few people on campus wearing T-shirts from that show.
