Capitol Theatre’s Century of Rock | Newark News
Description
The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester just turned 100, and it’s not just any old milestone—it’s a living shrine to rock history. From Bob Dylan to the Grateful Dead (who played 18 legendary shows there between ’70–’71, with Jerry Garcia calling it his second favorite stage after the Fillmore), this venue has hosted icons who shaped music forever. Today, restored by Peter Shapiro in 2012, it’s roaring back as a premier live music hub—with plans for thousands more shows over the next century. And yes, the walls are covered in over 200 carved squirrels—reason unknown, charm guaranteed. This is where history, art, and sound collide.
