Well said, Jack. I admit my interest in the Croc was almost solely nostalgia--it was amazing to just be there, knowing its history. I don't dig a lot of new music, but I suspect I represent the minority there. The Croc should be around to make more history.

I'm glad to see that at least one of the Seattlests has a heart w/r/t the Croc.

Here's the P-I's Croc history on the occasion of its tenth anniversary. I agree with Jack -- the Croc had a lot of history behind it, but it was no shrine to times gone by. I was there quite a bit the last two years, for a lot of good shows. I'm not sure why it was losing so much money, but I'm not willing to speculate about the fate of the Seattle music scene based on this one instance.

hey guys.... as a Brit and a newcomer to Seattle, I hadn't paid too much attention to the venues that made Seattle great. Is there anywhere you'd recommend I can get a potted history of the Croc?
