The legendary Slipknot show at the Tower Theatre on January 11, 2000.
Next on the calendar was The Misfits with Speed Dealer and Element on January 14th, and that show was originally booked for the Tower Theatre too.
But it could not happen there.
So the show had to be moved to the Diamond Ballroom.
That kind of move is never easy. When you change venues, you almost always lose ticket sales. People miss the update. Plans change. The momentum gets harder to keep.
But even with the switch, they still pulled 621 people.
For The Misfits at that time, and with only a three-day promotion after the move, that was a strong turnout.
Slipknot had just left its mark at the Tower Theatre, and now The Misfits, Speed Dealer, and Element were keeping the heavy music calendar moving at the Diamond.
Different room.
Same Oklahoma concert chaos.
