Park West is the name of a music venue in Chicago, Illinois, located at the corner of Armitage Avenue and Clark Street. The theater was originally named Lane Court when it opened in the 1920s, when it mostly showed movies to a capacity of 1000. After some time, the theater became a burlesque house, and later a theater for adult films. In 1977, the theater was renamed to Park West, and it became a concert venue. The 750-seat theater hosts a variety of bands, most of which perform classic rock or alternative rock. Some bands and musicians that have played there include Tina Turner, the Indigo Girls, The Eurythmics, Prince, King Crimson, and Porcupine Tree.
U2 performed at Park West on Sunday December 6 1981 on their October Tour 2nd leg according to u2tours.com.
