Houston Astrodome - early large-scale indoor concerts

The Houston Astrodome opened in 1965 as the world's first multi-purpose, domed sports stadium and was widely referred to as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World.' Beyond sports it hosted large-scale concerts and musical events for decades, including performances tied to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and standalone major-artist shows. The building's scale and indoor environment shaped Houston's capacity for major indoor music productions in the late 20th century.
