In this episode, Scott and guest Ross Wood delve into the rich history of the Diamond Ballroom a second time. Ross shares his experiences from the rise of metal shows in the 1980s, highlighting the vibrant culture and memorable encounters with iconic bands like Megadeth and rising artists like Alan Jackson (I know, not metal). He reflects on the unique atmosphere of metal concerts, a bit of weirdness by Danzig and an Elvis impersonator. They discuss the challenges and quirks of live performances, the dynamics of artist interactions, and the unexpected twists that come with managing entertainment events all inside the famous Diamond Ballroom in OKC!

*Somehow Ross manages to use "anachronism" in a sentence and reference Pagliacci, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Rick James!  Good times!
