A promoter recently purchased and restored a vintage large movie theater in the next town over from me and opened it last fall for concerts and other events. I checked it out for the first time last month to see blues guitarist extraordinaire Samantha Fish and was really impressed, both with the theater and with her show, and vowed to become a regular at the venue.
The Des Plaines Historic Theatre in Des Plaines, IL
I didn't have to wait long for another show to see, as Ted Nugent was playing 7-25, so I scored a ticket.
The show was great and my ears are still ringing! I'm amazed a guy who is going to be 74 later this year still can rock like Ted Nugent does! If you are a fan, don't miss him if he plays near you.
And if you live around Chicago, the Des Plaines theater is really a gem. Free parking in a garage right behind the theater, a bar and restaurant in the theater lobby, it's really cool.
The owner also owns the Arcada theater in St Charles and many of the acts he lines up, he books shows at both venues. He had 2 Nugent shows in St Charles and 1 at Des Plaines. So west and southwest suburban residents have a location by them, and us north and northwest suburbanites have the Des Plaines Theater.
Here's a video someone posted of Monday nights encore
