The Aerodrome was a nightclub located at 1588 State Street in Schenectady, New York.
The club was established in 1967 by Jack Rubin. The building was originally a bowling alley named 'Woodlawn Lanes', which Rubin converted into a music venue. [1] Its capacity was approximately 3,000 people.
Rock bands and musicians who performed at the Aerodrome include Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Billy Joel, B.J. Thomas, The Electric Prunes, Vanilla Fudge, Three Dog Night, Jeff Beck Group (featuring a young Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood), Chicago, The Yardbirds, and B. B. King.
Because of ill-health, Rubin closed the Aerodrome in 1972, and it was demolished. The building was badly damaged from the vibration caused by the noise of the loud music. This area now holds a newer building, Woodlawn Plaza. [1]
Colorful posters advertised Aerodrome concert for artists such as Janis Joplin and The Electric Prunes.
