Remembering When the Dean Dome Used to Rock


The first concert held in the Dean Dome was Kenny Rogers on April 12, 1986. For the next several years, the venue welcomed some of the biggest names in music, including the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, and Billy Joel. Nobody who was here is likely to forget the two nights that the Grateful Dead came to town in 1993. (UNC.edu)
