Talk:Southern Star Amphitheatre

Editing Article

I had been editing Fright Nights/Fright Fest and noticed the Six Flags AstroWorld article is mostly about rides, with hardly a mention of special events or shows. This is something of an oversight, as the park was quite good in both categories. While I only intended to add an expanded mention of Fright Nights, I got sidetracked. I am going to add some information to this article in the hope of inspiring an actual Houstonian (or Texan, even) to continue. Note that I have left room for expansion, and invite discussion as to what ought to be here. Oddjob84 (talk) 19:51, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

No, I'm not done. I will be back to add 1987-1990. Oddjob84 (talk) 20:07, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

 Done with Source A; started on Source B. Oddjob84 (talk) 00:31, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

 Done with Source B; and done with this edit. I hasten to point out that the concert listing is incomplete. It reflects only the sources I could readily find. I leave it to future editors to add and improve the article. Oddjob84 (talk) 13:10, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Added and populated infobox. Oddjob84 (talk) 20:59, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Problems & Resolutions

1. Southern Star opened in 1980, according to the article. Nonetheless, I found the Grassroots listed in 1971. Is this a typo in the source? Oddjob84 (talk) 20:10, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

2. Also found Anne Murray November 9, 1973 and Crosby, Nash & Young August 26, 1977. Were these concerts done elsewhere on property? Oddjob84 (talk) 00:35, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Spelling

@Evangp: Wouldn't the venue be named using the US spelling "amphitheater", not the UK spelling "amphitheatre"? There aren't many search results for either spelling; perhaps www.setlist.fm. -- John of Reading (talk) 13:42, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

I looked at ticket scans and all used "amphitheatre"

Opening Act - The Monkees / Weird Al

I see some entries have opening acts listed, and others list them individually. What is the standard? The Monkees had Weird Al as their opening act (I was there for that concert). 72.165.144.251 (talk) 17:50, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
