The Ghosts of Discos Past
from MN90: Minnesota History in 90 Seconds · host Ampers
Everybody knows that before First Ave was an iconic live music venue it was a Greyhound bus station. But fewer know the history of the in-between years. Britt Aamodt turns back to the early 1970s when First Ave was Uncle Sam’s and the dance beat was disco.-----Producer: Britt AamodtEditorial support: Emily KrumbergerMixing & mastering: Chris HarwoodImage: A concert bill for Sam’s Danceteria (forerunner to the First Avenue concert venue), November 1, 1981.
