Zoo Amphitheatre Is Old Like Keith Richards
from MBJ Enterprises LLC · host Max Baker Jr.
If you’ve worked the Zoo Amphitheatre, you know the struggle isn’t the show.It’s the load-in.Rolling cases through gravel. Fighting the layout. Dragging gear where it was never designed to go. Years of stagehands have earned their stripes out there, and the new crews don’t even realize how lucky they are compared to what it used to be.The Zoo has served its purpose for a long time. It’s hosted legendary nights. It’s part of the city’s DNA.But the argument is simple.It’s old.Vintage.And sure — so is Keith Richards, and he still rocks.That’s the point.Old doesn’t mean useless. Old means proven.Still, you can love a place and admit it might be time for something new. The debate isn’t sentimental, it’s practical: location, comfort, summer heat, accessibility, production standards.Would the right deal bring big acts back to the Zoo?Probably.Just not in July or August.And if you won the lottery? You’d book them out there anyway.But you’d invite 50 people. Closest friends only.Because a vintage venue deserves a vintage kind of night. #HeresTheDealPodcast #ZooAmphitheatre #OKCMusicHistory #KeithRichards #VenueLife #ConcertProduction #LiveMusicStories #OklahomaCity #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownenLike, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.Follow & Connect: Max Baker Jr. Instagram @bmaddmaxx | Facebook @bmaddmaxx Jeff Brownen Facebook @jeff.brownenHere’s The Deal YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@heresthedealokHere’s The Deal Podcast Website https://heresthedealok.comBuy Here’s The Deal Vintage & Collectables https://heresthedealvintagecollectables.comGet an Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Card https://medcardsmadeeasy.netConcert & Event Production Services https://bakerboyspro.comBuy Roadie CBD Balm & Oil https://bakersremedycbd.com
