  1. This is an interesting map from 1911 because you can see the places many of the road names derived from, Stuebner, Airline, Aldine, N. Houston,Mt. Houston, Louetta, Cross Timbers, Bender, Westfield, Spring, etc..

  2. Liberty Hall booked many of the same touring acts that played at Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin. These were performers who could draw at a mid-size venue but not enough to play at the Music Hall or later Hofienz Pavillion at UH.

    One difference from AWH though was that Liberty Hall seemed to have more of the classic bluesman play there. I recall a New Years Eve show in around 1974 or 75 that my friends went to...Jimmy Reed performed.

    What are the dates on most of these newspaper ads/clippings? My guess would be '70-'72.

    I don't know much about Jubilee Hall. Looks like it wasn't around very long. Same with La Bastille.

    These clips started in 70 and only go through 71. Liberty Hall kicked off in 71. The Family (of) Hand (s), Jubilee Hall, and Liberty Hall are all related because all involved some of the same folks. I think La Bastille was around for several years, but mostly booked Jazz, although I did see Renaissance at La Bastille.
