Thanks for the pics... esp of the nosebleed seats... my very first concert was there, in those seats for Phil Collins right in the middle in 1990. Started me off on a huge concert bender over about a 10 or 15 year period. They could have had so many more concerts there before it was pulled down, and it is way better than Burswood Dome soundwise.

Thanks again.

Looks like it is all gone now, so sad! I have kept coming back to look at these photos for months now. Did anyone ever get any more behind the scenes photos? I would love to see more photos of the various rooms and backstage areas.

Hey Nate

Tim from The Thousands here (formally SixThousand). Love these pics. I was recently exploring The PEC myself and I'm wanting to write an article about it for our lil' site. as it was dark and I only had an iPhone my pics of the experience are shitty. Was wondering If I'd be able to steal a pic off you in exchange for an image credit/link to your site?

I must say this is one of the most interesting Perth blogs I've read, especially coming from an architectural perspective. Very intriguing. Great work.

seems really strange that there is very little dust etc even on the vinyl auditorium seats, its as if the spirits of the past concert goers have been dusting it down in the forlorn hope of a next generation of fans. sad end for an icon of hazy youth

Thanks Luke, and Karl, and everyone else for the kind words.

Hit up another abandonment on the weekend, *very* large factory, perhaps not interesting enough for a blog post, but I'll see.

Location : top secret, basically it is untouched at the moment. Abandoned for several years so far.

Great Shots, i have photo's from the outside from around March with my daughter there, loved everything about The Entertainment Centre, still such as shame to see it being ripped apart because it was the best music venue Perth has/had.

Thanks for the Photo'

2011-07-29T10:25:28.816+08:00

wow I didnt know the outer shell was made out of fibreglass .. I had always thought it was metal.. they musta used a metric shitload of plywood, chopped strand and resin to mould all that.. (sorry, I'm a boatbuilder by trade) but getting back on s. I remember numerous wildcats games defence doush doush doush defence DEFENCE ad infinitum. PLEASE post the photos of the bits we never got to see . see once you've told people you've got em - you've set the hook, eventually you're gonna have to reel your fish in! (and show us the goods ;)

Saw Disney on Ice, Harlam Gloe Trotters, Abba, Olive Newton JOhn and many movies there. So sad to see it go..tried to break in for a last look as well but they were removing asbestos so it was too dodgy. There is a good exterior shot of the building in Abba The Movie. Thanks for the pics, they are fascinating.

Leesamaria, I totally agree! That container should be heritage listed, and with the Today Tonight billboard above it, wow, what a combo. Big thanks to the FEDUP team, for providing many lols over the years. A lot of people will miss it...

i love the FEDUP container. i want to keep it! and the channel 7 red bullet shot so lol-worthy on every train ride :)

go take a look at the house on stirling hwy (on the corner of smyth street) not far from UWA. it will undoubtedly be the easiest place you'll ever get into :)

I'd love to know what performers thought of playing there, always seemed such an awesome atmosphere (much unlike Burswood Dome)
