Favorite/Favorite Kind of Venue?

monosyllables · 2014-05-06T19:32:22-04:00

Basically, what's your favorite sort of place to go to see a show, and maybe you have a particular venue in your hometown that you just love to see shows at? I think about this because not only am I about to go see a show at a waffle shop in a couple hours, but because I recently passed up the opportunity to see Tune-Yards and Arcade Fire mostly because of the venue (though that definitely includes price). I just find that arenas, stadiums, huge outdoor venues just do not do it for me. I've never been to a bona fide music festival, though, so I'm interested to hear what people think about that as a concert space? For my money, there's a lot of places around St. Louis that are basically just bars in otherwise empty concrete rooms and that seems to be just about perfect. If you need to eek out some random space to play, the charm of it can be mitigated somewhat by the circumstances of having to play, or try to dance around tables and chairs, or trying to order a drink at the bar only a yard or two away from the music, but I hate places that are so big you have to watch a video screen of the performer you paid (usually a lot more money in such cases) to see *LIVE*. Thoughts?

My favorite venue here in San Francisco is a toss up between

The Chapel(like the name suggests, it's a renovated chapel)

and The Great American Music Hall(Just a beautiful venue)

But my favorite venue in the whole Bay Area is The Fox in Oakland, it's a renovated theater, originally built in the 20's.

Oh I didn't take those, I google image searched the venues and pulled pictures that best visualized what it feels like to be there.
