Do You Remember Concerts at The Tree Cafe in Portland?
Portland had some classic concert venues back in the day. This was back with the Cumberland County Civic Center has 4 or 5 shows a month. When the Loft, then the Great Northeast Music Hall, then T-birds was rocking. The Old Port Tavern and Moose Alley (under Squire Morgans) were awesome places in Portland too. I walked by the old
Tree Cafe on Danforth Street in Portland this morning. It's the fab Zen Chinese Bistro now. But back in the day, the
Tree Cafe was a fantastic spot to see up-and-coming bands. It was a pretty cool setup with a lower section where you could be really close to the band, and an upper balcony where if you dangled over the railing after having a few pints, you could probably jump right on the stage and not break a leg. Not that I thought about it from time to time.
