Since opening under the name the Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center on April 12, 1980, the venue has held dozens of concerts, featuring every genre from jazz to rock 'n roll.

And, on Saturday, guitarist Jeff Beck — a former member of The Yardbirds who's gone on to have an influential career as a solo artist — is set to perform to a sold-out crowd at the center.

Here's a look at some other notable shows the venue has hosted throughout the last 35 years. (Note: Some artists have performed several times):

1980s:

April 12, 1980: Ella Fitzgerald. After going through a $1.3 million renovation, the Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center opened. At the show that night — which was delayed 30 minutes because of a bomb threat — Fitzgerald, along with the York Symphony Orchestra, performed. "That's something we need," Fitzgerald said, about the venue, "not only for people who like it, but for coming generations, something they, too, can look forward to."
