"The Aberdeen Armory today is being used as a senior center.   The Armory was the scene of many dances in the '60s.  Bands that played there included The Wailers, Viceroys, Beachcombers, Sonics, Dynamics, Paul Revere, Kingsmen, Glen Campbell, and Capris."

I remember seeing Glen Campbell at the armory.  I believe his big hit at the time was "Universal Soldier."  The armory was so big that it did not have the intimate feeling of the Vasa in Hoquiam, or the Silver Seagull in Ocosta.
