John Cale
02/13/85
Le Hit Club, Seattle, WA
I'm almost certain that I went to this show, and Cale was a no-show. The Tickets
were sold at a reputable Record Store, Cellophane Records,
but it was a makeshift club. The only reference on the internet,
or elsewhere, that I can find is the anonymous quote below. Approximately 300 people
waited quite some time before finally leaving. It should also be noted that this date does not fit comfortably
into the '85 sequence - (editor).
An anonymous internet response to a blog sponsored by The Stranger listing defunct Seattle Clubs:
"Le Club Hit! When I got to town in 1984 (The respondent is incorrect in his memory of the date as Cale is verified to have been in the Netherlands that
day and Europe the entire month - editor), there were posters up all over the city advertising a show by John Cale at this place, which was a place with
batting cages that somebody turned into a short lived club. After they couldn't make Cale's minimum for the show, and he stayed in his hotel room leaving
the club full of angry Cale fans, the owners folded into tenths and stole away."
