Chef Jim Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 How about The Viper Club in L.A.? That would be The Viper Room.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 That would be The Viper Room. Thank you! I knew it was something like that.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Have always wanted to see a show at Red Rocks. A cool place I got to see a show at a few years ago is an 1878 Texas dance hall - Gruene Dance Hall. Didn't see a major act, but it was an unexpected place of awesomeness and local flavor. http://gruenehall.com/#rightnw I've heard of it. If I recall, George strait got his start there.
NoSaint Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 the classics like red rocks and the gorge, of course. wanted to do a trip to the DBT homecoming shows at the 40 watt for a bit now. good jumping off point with this top 50 list: http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2013/05/the-50-best-concert-venues-in-america/ though they definitely missed it on some with examples like HOB New Orleans over Tipitinas. If i guessed, id take a shot that they went heavy with livenation venues, but not totally familiar with who LN has under its umbrella nationally these days.

Dr. Fong Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I finally got to see a show at Madison Square Garden this past fall. It was a great place to see a show.

Chef Jim Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I finally got to see a show at Madison Square Garden this past fall. It was a great place to see a show. I will probably never see a place that seats more than a few thousand again. But I'll put Red Rocks on my bucket list.
The Poojer Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 I completely get your sentiment, but as far as my tastes go, that just isn't possible, dmb, dead, festivals, i am not going to miss out on shows like that simply because they have larger crowds I will probably never see a place that seats more than a few thousand again.

I'm not a huge STS9 fan but saw them up front at the Fox and loved it. Since I started being up front against the stage last year for me that's the only way to go.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 House of Blues is a chain. I've only been to the Houston location, but I've never seen a bad show there. And generally cheap, because the GA is on the floor SRO near the stage, which is where I like to be anyway. The expensive seats are in the balcony. I always get there early and get right up close. Seen Ted Nugent, Buddy Guy (Twice), Doobie Brothers, Thorogood, and a bunch of surprisingly good tribute bands.
