Red Hot Chili Peppers at Park Elevator.
Not sure if it's Slovak or Fruciante on guitar.
Please help me date this if you can.
Julie St Clair I still have an autographed photo from Matthew Sweet- can't remember if it was 1313 or Park Elevator= Miss that Charlotte=- what about the awesome record store at corner of McDowell & Morehead AND the bowling alley, bar and grill downstairs! I grew up at Children's Theatre- now gone too! Let's face it guys- our memo...ries are sacred- and also not at risk for demolitoion!

Can somebody give me the date (at least the year) when Red Hot Chili Peppers played park elevator? Fishbone opened. I have video and will post soon. The tape is so old that it's sticking together and I'm working to correct that problem.
Also, was the Tacky Party held there one year? My memory, ahem, is a bit hazy
about those days.
Laura I don't think it was legal for me to be there when I was but damn I had good times!
Nick Man I miss this place :(
Tommy I miss those Park Elevator nights so much. Thanks for the fan page.

William You have got to be kidding me! I still have my membership card somewhere. wicked! :) -djmrbill
John Oh wow, I can't believe I found this page. Park (and 1313) was my all-time favorite club ever. Best music, best people in town. Is Nancy Young here somewhere? lol I have been looking for her FOREVER...she used to work up front too. I worked on a Fetchin' Bones video there once with some friends of mine, for "Steam...whistle." Came out so great...and actually got some decent airplay on 120 Minutes. Saw some amazing shows here. Yeah I remember the smoke machine too. Yeesh.

If I could I'd do it all over again!!!
What great memories!
Ron Wallace How can you not remember when Charlotte almost had a soul. Park Elevator was before all the "STEPFORD" clubs and entertainment in Charlotte. Park Elevator, 1313, hell I'd take Whispers and Plum Crazy back at this point. At least we can say we knew it when there was potential. What about reggae at the lake in the summer...s? Sorry, I know it's the Park Elevator site, but you brought back all the memories. Thanks for that by the way.
Park Elevator is still looking for some old friends... pass it along.
Bill Hayes OMG I cant believe I ran across Park Elevator. Its kinda funny, a few weeks ago I ran across my old Park Elevator T shirt that I got back in 1990 or 91. I will never get rid of it. I remember working the door checking IDs there with Rachel and was it Lisa? I cant remember the names.
