Re: The Who Mailing List Digest V8 #89

[Quad <quadimages@yahoo.com>]

The Hammersmith Palais and the Hammersmith odeon are
two different venues!

The Palais was/is a dance club since the 1930's/1940's
and still to this day provides weekend dances.

The odeon is a music venue to see the live acts such
as The Who in 1975.

Best,

Dave...
