Back in February, we told you about the Danzig 25th Anniversary Tour with special guest Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, Glenn Danzig’s former Misfits bandmate.
Well, the tour, which is in full force, made a pitstop in Los Angeles, CA, last month for a “send-off” show at the Universal Gibson Amphitheatre, which closed its doors on September 6th, 2013 to make way for the new The Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood.
At the Gibson show, Runaways singer Cherie Currie, who’s currently on a solo tour, joined the band on stage for a duet with Glenn Danzig on “Some Velvet Morning,” a cover of the Lee Hazlewood/Nancy Sinatra song. You can watch a video of the performance here below; there’s also an embed of the studio version of their cover, which will be on Danzig’s planned covers album.

I have good memories of the Universal (Gibson) Amphitheater – uncovered and then covered – for the number of concerts I attended there. But let us review: Disney’s Carnation Plaza Gardens – long the home of the Big Band Concert Series – has been turned over to the Disney Princesses. Universal’s Amphitheater – which long competed with the Greek Theater for some of the best entertainment to come to So Cal (many was the week I went to both) – is being turned over to Harry Potter. Balance is restored in the universe – to the detriment of us all.
