Ancient theater cut out of the red rock of Petra, Jordan. Said to be able to seat 8,500. Imagine a performance there in it's heyday
Note the luxury skyboxes, even then.

DeleteThe acoustics are amazing there.
ReplyDeleteNice. Knowing that this empty theater represents a better performance than the last Superbowl halftime show is priceless.

Coliseums were for gladiatorial contests.
Did Keith Richards play there?
ReplyDeleteYes he did, he opened for Willie Nelson.
DeleteThe perfect location for this:
