So you said we were going out
To the 100 Club
Then you said it ain't my scene
Then you turned up alone

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Re: Songs that mention real-life musical venues
Donovan's "The Trip" is (partly) named after the short-lived Hollywood club of the same name, though it isn't mentioned in the lyrics.
Similarly, "Bad Night At The Whisky" by The Byrds.

Re: Songs that mention real-life musical venues
Now this Pedro dude had the attitude
But the 70's had him spaced
Up in Hollywood
Maybe then he could
find a reason for his bass
Turned his Volkswagen, a spielwagon
Hong Kong Cafe New Years show
Drove up from Pedro
From Pedro Watt drove

Re: Songs that mention real-life musical venues
"The Story Of Them" by Them
- Now just 'round about this time
With the help of the three J's
Started playin' at the Maritime
That's, Jerry, Jerry and Jimmy
You know they were always fine
And they helped us run the Maritime
Don't forget Kit, hittin' people on the head
An' knockin' 'em out
You know he did his best and all
Was something else, then
...
You can look up at Maritime Hotel
Just a little bit sad, gotta walk away
Wish it well

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go, go, go
I presume Lou is taking about the place in Glasgow
