Abstract:

"If ever the marque of a performance venue could capture the contradictory, heat-struck culture of 1970s Charlotte, this was surely it; This photo has become a piece of Charlotte iconography: four acts that don't seem to belong in the same galaxy, much less the same arena. But they all fit into the old Charlotte Coliseum, and they left a lot of stories behind, even if Billy Graham never got a chance to wrestle Elvis." Reference is to a well-remembered photo of the Charlotte Coliseum in 1972.
