Island Garden
Over the years, concert acts such as Cream, the Dave Clark Five, Louis Armstrong, The Byrds, The Jeff Beck Group, The Rascals, Sly and the Family Stone, Duke Ellington, Joan Baez, Procol Harum, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan performed at the venue.The Nets were unable to play any home playoff games in 1971 because the arena was booked with other events;[7] they played one home playoff game at Hofstra University, and two at Madison Square Garden's Felt Forum.In 1971–72, the Nets posted their first winning season, advancing all the way to the 1972 ABA Finals, where they lost to the Indiana Pacers.Late in the season, the team moved from the Island Garden into the new Nassau Coliseum.[1] Today, the location of Island Garden is 45 Cherry Valley Avenue, West Hempstead.
