This is the former location of the Guthrie Theater, which used to be attached to the Walker Art Center.
In the summer of 1969, there were a couple of big shows here: Led Zeppelin played on May 18th, and the Who played on June 8th.
The Guthrie Theater moved to it's new location on the banks of the Mississippi River in 2006. The Walker Art Center underwent a revision in 2005 to make it look like a crazy robot-head ready to eat Hennepin Ave traffic.

On Nov 2, 1968, Jimi Hendrix played here. Eight days later, on Nov. 10, 1968, The Doors played here.
On July 3, 1970, The Who played here.
The site is now the location of the Minneapolis Convention Center and no longer a venue for music, although the Minnesota Rollergirls occasionally rock the place out.

I know that TwinTone Records put out over 300 records between 1977 and 1994. One of them is the album "God Ween Satan", so that alone is worth noting.
