          I remember seeing RATM while the Republican National Convention was in Minneapolis. My ears are still ringing. Lots of proto-Antifa types roaming the streets.

          Nick Cage tickets also went on sale this morning. I'd love to go and he is playing the best indoor venue I've ever been in, but I seem to be on an island with my Nick Cage fandom out here.

          Think it, be it.

            Forgive me, but is there an artist called Nick Cage, or are you referring to Nick Cave? I ask because I saw his US tour details released recently (and because I am a huge fan of his).

                I was assuming it wasn’t him. Although I like him a lot too.

                    I’m seeing him in Oslo in May. It will be my fourth time seeing him. The last tour a couple of years ago was the best yet. Transcendental stuff, probably the greatest concert I’ve been to. If can can make it, go on your own. I promise you it will be worth it.

                      I will be seeing him in Chicago. Saw him on his spoken word tour last year at a nice intimate venue. Unfortunately this tour is a quite large space.

                              The last tour saw him at a sold out Oslo Spektrum which has a 10000 ticket capacity. It was intimate af. I still don’t know how he managed that, it’s the site of some of the worst concert experiences of my life precisely because of it being an enormous concrete pig shed, but it was so personal and raw. The connection with him at 15m distance was insane.

                                The venue pictured holds 2.6k and the place he's playing in Denver holds 4.5k, but can be configured for different capacities and stage sizes.

                                Anyone catching his North American tour should seriously consider the Denver stop. Brand new music venue built from the ground-up to be a music venue by a music lover seeking to establish his career legacy. It is the ultimate indoor live music venue.

                                Think it, be it.

                                  Best music venue people have been to?

                                  Royal Albert Hall is pretty special to watch music, amazing sounds (or acoustics for a better term).

                                  On a more local scale, I've seen plenty of decent gigs in Portsmouth in simple shitty pubs!

                                  The devil is in the detail..

                                      Wow, the boat venue is great!

                                      Red Rocks is my favorite overall and favorite outdoor venue I've been to (haven't been to the Gorge in George, WA though). Telluride Town Park, and Mishawaka in the Poudre Canyon are also favorites. Love the Pritzker Pavillion in Chicago for a more urban outdoor venue.

                                      Mission Ballroom is my favorite indoor venue as mentioned, because it is custom-made for music lovers by music lovers and is never oversold. It doesn't have perhaps the charm of more organic venues such as converted theatres, bowling alleys, or boats, but in terms of pure comfort it can't be beat. I really love Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY and feel like I can sense the magic that's happened there. Tipitina's in New Orleans is a sentimental favorite as well. And to a lesser extent, so is First Avenue in Minneapolis.

                                      We'll be living in Manhattan Beach next month, so I'm hoping to tick Hollywood Bowl off the list and definitely will be seeing music at the Fonda Theatre.

                                      I'll have to think about other favorite venues–the Nick Cave one was the Orpheum in Minneapolis, which was great, especially being within spitting distance of the activities.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                        Oh my days… the things I got up to at Thekla in the 90’s. That was quite a flashback you initiated, Sam. Glad to hear it is still a thing.

                                          I used to love a place in Charlotte called the Pterodactyl Club.  It was a grotty hole on the wrong side of the tracks that held maybe 1,000 or so people fully packed, but the list of bands that stopped there throughout the 80s and 90s was pretty stellar. An old roommate saw Nirvana pre-Nevermind, which he was quite proud of.  My favorite show there was They Might Be Giants; it involved a glockenspiel solo and a conga line…  It closed in 1999, after someone was stabbed to death in the parking lot.
