The Augusta Civic Center is more than just a high school basketball venue. It has a rich history of legendary musicians performing at the venue. Here's a look at some of those performances.
We found this wicked cool flight simulator video of someone attempting to land a plane on the Augusta Civic Center. Don't worry; it's not real. Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2020 incredibly recreates the entire topography of the Earth in 3D and adds in local weather elements to boot. This is much cooler than the Red Baron, or After Burner flight video games we played in the 1980s! You can fly anywhere in the world and pick any plane or jet you wish. Luckily for this player, the weather was beautiful in virtual Maine on the day of this flight. Try doing this in a snowstorm, bub!
On June 17, 1982, Clapton loving Blimpsters sold out Portland's biggest venue once again. He had with him as always, an incredible band of musicians including Albert Lee on guitar.
lt was extra special for Maine Clapton fans as this trip to Northeast New England was a two-night stand. The first performance happened in my hometown at the Augusta Civic Center the evening before.
