Coliseum
rock groups Nelson and Warrant
Assistant City Manager Tom
Fredericks explained that the
Greensboro coliseum has long
standing relationship with many
promoters.
"They have a good track record
and they've been doing this for 20
years," he said.
Fredericks said that consultants
for the coliseum indicated that "it
takes three to five years for a coli
seum to establish itself."
However, concerts like country
music singers Garth Brooks and
Reba Maclntyre have both been
sell-outs at the coliseum.
"When we opened up we found
our niche and it was in country
music," he said.
Bucky Dame, assistant director
at the coliseum, said that they are
well aware that rhythm-and-blues
and rock music are two areas they
Continued from page A1
need to concentrate on. "We need to
work the other markets more. That's
been our goal for the past two
years," Dame said.
In the spring of 1991, a gospel
show and a rap show, which drew
about 1,000 people each, were the
only concerts geared to black audi
ences.
Greensboro coliseum, which is
scheduled to close for renovations in
April, will hopefully woo promoters
to Winston-Salem.
Solomon said he is currently
trying to secure pop/rap artist Ham
mer and an rhythm-and-blues
singer Keith Sweat for the summer,
but which no contracts have been
finalized.
"We're hoping during that time
we'll get some acts to come here,"
Solomon said. "What we need is a
solid good show that will draw
numbers," he said.
"We're trying to take some of
that market from Greensboro. We
want a variety of entertainment.
That's what we told the people
when we built the coliseum. That
what the community expects,"
Fredericks added
Robert Egleston, chairman of
the coliseum and convention center
commission, agreed that since the
cancellations it does seem that the
coliseum has had trouble booking
concerts geared to blacks. "It's been
a struggle ever since. Promoters
seem reluctant to take any gam
bles," he said.
But the commission still would
like to see management continue to
live up to its commitment to brings
variety of shows to the city.
"We've had a lot of expecta
tions getting a variety of acts to the
coliseum and we expect them to
come through," he said.
