yeah - the tour starts in November

 

 

 

Wow - Clowes Hall in Indy is a big fancy place. It's where the opera is performed, and one with really perfect acoustics.

 

Hmmmm ... Andrew Bird at Logan Square - vs - MMJ at Clowes. :unsure

 

 

 

I think I may have to go with MMJ. :thumbup

Timing isn't great for me with my possibles being over Thanksgiving weekend. I will find a way to make it to one show, hopefully two. I really wanted to take a couple of friends to the Chicago show, but they will probably have family obligations.

 

Is the Riviera a good place to catch a show (I've been to the Metro and The Vic, are they similar?). Also has anyone been to the St. Louis, Indy, or Milwaukee venues? Thanks.

Yes, I've been to Clowes Hall several times. Saw Emmylou Harris there last fall, and she mentioned how Clowes has a reputation of being a performer's favorite venue (although that could have been Suzanne Vega who I also saw at Clowes, anyway one of the two ladies said that. Sorry - I see too many shows and details get a little fuzzy with age :blush ).

 

Saw Elvis Costello's solo performance there last fall. He was able to go sans microphone and the sound of his voice resonated to every seat. That was a unique performance, Elvis solo. :wub

 

I can't really say enough good things about this venue. But it is not a nightclub, so if that's your favorite type of venue when seeing a show, you will hate this place. It is reserved seats, and probably people will sit down. Although maybe not. I don't think they let you take drinks to your seat. They do have a bar in the lobby. Also, I don't believe there is a center aisle, so people might have to cut in front of you to get to their seats. But you have lots of leg room and don't have to stand up in order for them to do that. It's pretty plush, 3 balcony tiers.

 

But this is where MMJ will be playing on the Saturday night of Thanksgiving weekend.

Ive been to the Pageant in St. Louis, great venue. Has a caberet style setup.

 

 

Two nights in Dallas :rock

I've been to the Riverside in Milwaukee, most recently for Belle & Sebastian/New Pornos. It's a very nice venue, far classier than, say, the Eagles Ballroom. It also has a massive balcony.

The Riviera is a great mid-size venue to see a band. Good sight lines, good sound... The Vic is a bit smaller and has many more poor sound spots. The Metro is much, much smaller and much, much better. That said, Riviera is a good venue.

Don't you mean....THE RAVE!!!!! ?

The Rave/Eagles Club building contains five concert halls: The Rave Bar, The Rave Vibe Room, The Rave Hall, The Eagles Hall--and the Eagles Ballroom, which is the large auditorium upstairs.

 

And I'll take the Riverside or the Pabst over all of them.

Perfect acoustics,indeedy :music I've been there a number of times (esp. Stevie Ray in '84,MILES in '87,& Stanley Jordan) It may not be my FAVORITE place to see a show (Palace in L'ville :rock) but of all the places of its' size I've been to the acoustics are unparalleled.
