My Van Pool passes by Universal City on some days.
When that happens, I marvel at the towers of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, off in the distance.
They are very tall and take up a good part of the back lot.
The other day I went looking, to see where exactly they put this new attraction.
What I found out is that they demolished the Universal Amphitheatre, back in September of 2013 (when I was in Upstate NY, at college). So I was not aware of the fact that I can no longer go to concerts at that very famous and wonderful venue.
As I keep meticulous records of my Steely Dan concert reviews, I know for a fact that I saw them play there in 2003 and 4 times in 2009. I saw the Moody Blues play there once, Dan Fogelberg in the 80's and Barry Manilow (free tickets) also in the mid 80's. He was surprisingly good. :-)
It was one of our best (and close in) concert venues for the Los Angeles area.
I am very sad now.
Sorry I am so late to this party.
