    Really is sad to watch, I myself had so many great memories of this place! Absolutely awesome concerts, Aerosmith, Boston, Paul McCartney and Wings, Rod Stewart plus all the sporting events and more. Awwww Omni you were a great one I'll think of you fondly!!

    Sure miss the Omni. I saw Kiss in 1979, Journey in 1981 and 1983. We were going to see The Police but my parents divorce kept me from that concert. I am glad there is a video of the show I missed. I also miss Fulton County Stadium. I guess you really never can go back.

    I just recently visited Atlanta for the first time. Where the State Farm Arena is located and CNN center is where the Omni used to be. That arena has so much history. WCW world championship wrestling is where they held there Historic events like Starrcade, Slamboree and the Great American Bash. I wished old Arenas from my Big Cities never should demolish them. They just retired these buildings and leave it a memory kind like Museums so people can visit and look inside to remember to go old days. Demolish them just erase the memories like these venues like they dont exist.

    Don't miss the OMNI at all. Phillips is too awesome. But ironically the GA Dome days are numbered as well.

    RUSH: Test For Echo tour 12/11/96! First, last, and only memory of the Omni for me. What a great memory that was. Saw them again on the Vapor Trails tour 10/13/02, in the Philips Arena. It was indeed an improvement.

    I've been waiting for this video to pop up on RUclips for years. Thanks! I saw my first concert there in 1996-White Zombie, and Rush later that year before they brought it down.

    Go Atlanta! A history of erasing people's memories and having no respect for the past.

      Don't be ridiculous, tearing a building down doesn't erase any of the memories from said building also with the new arena brought a 2nd chance at the NHL.

    Caught Elvis at the Omni in June'76. The stairs were so steep in the arena, I almost got vertigo! And, no handrails! It's time had come. - JG

    They must have imploded it during a Thrashers game .... that would be a good time to have done it, since no one would've been in the building anyway.

    Starting at 3:18 - Notice on the left side of the building how the barrier falls after the preliminary explosions? There was reports afterward that windows were blown out because of a malfunction, and I am guessing that could have been part of the problem since they left an area exposed to the crippling blast to take it down.
