Report: DIMEBAG DARRELL Shooting May Change Concerts
December 11, 2004Dave Lavender of The Herald-Dispatch is reporting that in Nashville, opening up a 40,000-square-foot club called The Red Iguana, long-time Huntington-based promoter Rick Widdifield already has been dealing with some of the fallout from the Columbus, Ohio, shootings that left a popular guitarist dead on stage and four others dead.
Widdifield, of American Promotions, which books national acts into such Huntington live music venues as Banana Joe's Island Party and the newly renamed Huntington Music Hall inside the Monkey Bar, said clubs will be adding more security measures and restricting entrances and exits.
"We had more than 2,500 people through the door and we have had heightened security and had to hire additional people here because there is seven exits in the club," Widdifield said of the Nashville club.
Widdifield, who said the next big live club show is Kid Rock's DJ, DJ Paradigm at the MonkeyBar Jan. 14, said the two Huntington venues already have restricted entry, strict dress codes and mandatory coat checks at the entrance. Read more.
