I went to Liberty Hall a few times in the early '70's while still in high school. Missed Springsteen (although I did see him at the Music Hall right after Born to Run broke), Kinky Friedman, Doug Kershaw, etc...My most vivid memory was having the doorman inspect the contents of my paper bag (I was only 17), a bottle of Wild Turkey. He looked at it, looked at me, said "gobble, gobble" and let me in. Going off on another tangent, remember Rock Island aka The Island? I think that might qualify as Houston's first mostly punk venue.
