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.
It's the most famous show in Portland's history and it never even happened. The King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley was supposed to play the Cumberland County Civic Center on this date in 1977. Tickets were 15 bucks, twice as much as any other band or artist was getting back then. But it was ELVIS. And the show was long sold out. Of course, Elvis died the day before at his home at Graceland.
On the 'King of Rock & Roll's' 85th birthday, students at the Manchester School of Technology are working to keep his legacy alive by restoring a classic Cadillac Eldorado.
39 years ago today, the King of Rock and Roll came to my hometown and gave fans the thrill of of a lifetime. On May 24, 1977, Elvis Presley performed for a full house at the Augusta Civic Center. Lucky for us, we can watch this rare 8mm footage from that epic night in the Capital City!
