Know something we don't?
The storied Art Deco landmark in Hollywood got a rousing sendoff in 2007 from the Moz when it closed for extensive renovations. After a thorough facelift, which improved everything from water mains to decorative detailing, Jay-Z inaugurated its attempt to get back on the circuit of A-list theater acts.
The 4,000-capacity hall has played host to bands such as The Police, The Clash and James Brown over its 40-year history.
Cove lighting has been installed to highlight the Moderne details and the original marquee-and-pylon sign tower has been restored at the entrance and its large neon letters revived. (How careful is the revival? Architect Christopher Coe used old newsreel footage to match the lighting sequence to the original pattern.)
The renovation has not been entirely smooth. There was a union dispute that put a picket line out front, and there was consternation about the Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency loan needed by Live Nation's landlord, Newport Capital Advisors, to pay for the exterior remodeling. But the Palladium will likely once again be a signature spot in the entertainment life of Hollywood.
