Did you ever go there to see anyone perform?

We were there about 1977 and saw The Gatlin Brothers perform.

That night some goofus decided to toss a lighted firecracker (onstage? in a corner?) and it startled everyone.
The Gatlin brothers threw themselves down on the stage, literally, actually. When it was determined that it was NOT a gunshot, the brothers got back up, and ready to sing. Then one of them (Rudy?) gave a tongue lashing to whoever had done that and thought it was a good idea in a crowd.

Surprised to learn it closed so soon after we were there. It closed in 1978.

Spent quite a bit of time there back in the day

Have never been there.

Before my time. Is the building still there?

Nope

Was it near where Panther Island Pavillion is now?

It was off east Lancaster on collard street as I recall.

Never been there, but two of my favorite albums are the "Live at Panther Hall" by Charley Pride and Willie Nelson.

Spent my life there from 1966 to 1972, while working at Country Music station KBUY.

I was a Dallas boy; never heard of it until I moved here.

A good replacement for Panther Hall in this day and time is a place called The Stagecoach Ballroom in Fort Worth at the corner of E. Belknap Street and Sylvania Avenue. It has been there since 1967. The entertainment is great - some local and many Country Artists from the 70's, 80's and 90's. Nice dance floor and drinks. Very enjoyable.
