Bruce Hornsby Concerts

Download: Bruce Hornsby Westbury, NY (2016)

Westbury is a popular stop on the Bruce Hornsby tour, and this particular show gave us some unique takes on old favourites.

westburytheater For example, can anyone hear a Boo Radley vibe in Place Under the Sun?

When did you ever hear a guitar intro to The Way It Is?

Or a relatively quiet start to Jacob’s Ladder, which on this night started back on the piano!

Or when did you get a minute-long fiddle intro into Pete and Manny?!

All in this show…

We apologise for skipping a couple of seconds out of Crown of Jewels. It was an issue with the original recording, but we thank DavePas63 for the great tape.

If you have any photos or setlists of your own to share, please send them our way via the contact page or post on the Bruuuce.COMmunity Facebook group.

Thanks again to DavePas63 for the great recording on DimeADozen.

Please enjoy these downloads!

History of The Space

The Space began its life as the Westbury Movie Theater, opening on November 10, 1927, with a Tudor-style inspired auditorium. The feature film for the night was “Hula” starring Clara Bow, while The University of Maryland Collegian’s Band provided a live performance. The following day, Armistice Day was celebrated with the screening of “Beau Geste” starring Ronald Coleman.

Transformation over the years

The Westbury Theater was one of six theaters built by Salvatore Calderone in Nassau County, Long Island. It thrived as a single-screen venue until it was twinned in the late 1970s. As audience numbers dwindled, the theater eventually closed. Cyrus Hakakian and his partners saved the theater from demolition in 2013, and the theater evolved into The Space at Westbury.

The Space

Today, The Space is a versatile venue capable of hosting concerts, movie screenings, and special events on Long Island. It retains the original charm of the Westbury Theater while embracing modern technologies, creating an exciting and flexible environment for all types of gatherings.
