The club made famous by Purple Rain is closing! How sad. I visited First Avenue when I visited Minneapolis. I didn't get to go in, it was during the day, and closed. A lot of bands made it big after playing First Avenue (to quote the movie!). In the mid-80s, it was a hub for the Minneapolis sound. While most would say, "So what?" Just the fact that there is a Minneapolis Sound is incredible. Its a town in the middle of the snow! They roll up the sidewalks at 10pm! Except for the Denny's and Perkin's! Anyway, its a shame this music landmark is closing.
