Yeah, Coast to Coast was a great spot, played many gigs there and remember it well, along with some of the other great venues in the old days like the Sea Gull Inn, Capricorn, Sandbar, and Maxwells. I played drums for a band called Rolls Royce during that period(83'-84). Great times, big rooms(you could even run a follow spot in some of them), genuine music fans......we used to do 2, 2 nighters a week and made enough bread to have full p.a,, lights, roadies, and a big truck! Boy, things have changed. We used to rotate those five clubs with the likes of Trigger Happy, Boot Camp, Spectrum, and the Ravyns. You're right, Coast to Coast was previously Hollywood Palace. It was in a good size strip center (may have been called Rt. 40 West Shopping Plaza or Park Plaza).
There was, and still may be a Pizza Hut across the street. Saw some good nationals there too, like Loverboy, Dixie Dregs, Michael Schenker Group.
