Before. Dylan played there in 1966. Acoustic, though. Anyone before him from the pop/rock genre? 1963, The Beatles and Stones plyed together there, right?

Is the same drummer who toured with the Bunnymen playing this?

Goddamnit Dave that was a test from the official forum and thanks to you we just failed.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts
