THE SAM HOUSTON COLISEUM AND MUSIC HALL WAS LOCATED IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. IT WAS BUILT IN 1928 AND SURVIVED UNTIL IT WAS DEMOLISHED IN 1998. SOME OF THE BIGGEST ACTS IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC PERFORMED IN EITHER THE SAM HOUSTON COLISEUM OR THE MUSIC HALL. THE TWO VENUES WERE ACTUALLY PART OF THE SAME MASSIVE COMPLEX--WITH THE MUSIC HALL BEING THE SMALLER OF THE TWO. RIVALS TO THE COLISEUM AND MUSIC HALL CONSISTED PRIMARILY OF THE OTHER HUGE VENUES IN HOUSTON SUCH AS THE HOFHEINZ PAVILLION. SMALLER ACTS (AND LOCAL ACTS) FROM HOUSTON AND THE SURROUNDING AREA PERFORMED AT VENUES LIKE THE CATACOMBS OR THE LOVE STREET LIGHT CIRCUS AND FEEL GOOD MACHINE. IF YOU HAVE ANY POSTERS OR HANDBILLS FROM ANY OF THESE TEXAS-AREA CLUBS OR CONCERT HALLS, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT DENNISHICKEY@MISSOURISTATE.EDU AS NO ONE PAYS MORE FOR SUCH MATERIAL!!!!
