In the WP Magazine, a local publication of the Washington Post, there is an excellent article in today's paper about the history and the reopening this Thursday of the legendary theatre. A lot of coverage is given to the various Motown acts that appeared during its heyday. It covers 10 pages of the magazine and is really interesting. The Howard closed in 1970, reopened in 1975 for only a two week stint, and occasional shows after that. The place was a go-go palace when it finally closed in the early 1980's. You might want to try to access this via the Washington Post web site. It is worth reading.
