About July 1976 - Image

I moved from Seattle in 1977 and at that time the Pipeline tavern was a very hot spot for us UDUB types to drink cheap beer and hear some good music. It was on Eastlake Ave near the southern end of the lake, kind of wedged in between I-5 and Eastlake. It was built new in the early 70’s and featured live music on a big stage, 7 nights a week. All the hot local bands played there but the only big name I remember was Jean-Luc Pontay, the French jazz violinist. Others played there of course, but the memory fades!I now live out east but fondly remember those years.

This was one of my favorite haunting grounds in my younger days.
Bob Besse, my former brother in law, and his mother owned the Pipeline. It was a very "happening" sort of place, great music and dancing, and yea, lots of pitchers of beer.
Makes me want to reconnect with Bob to help revive my memory a bit. Shyanne was one of the bands I do remember. But I know there were many others. It was a great place.
