Venue that Surprised You Most?

Grant Street. I didn't travel far for music.

The basement at Bisbano's never failed to deliver an awesome music experience. Although, it might have been due to countless pitchers of beer.

Agreed. If I had a ton of disposable income I would reopen it. The other for me is McAllister auditorium on Tulanes campus. Saw Siouxsie and the Banshees there in 1984

Seriously, Seville is an awesome place. It reminds me of a New Orleans version of graham central station with all the different kinds of bars within the one building. The piano bar is awesome as is the courtyard stage. We went there every night for the basketball tournament last year. Listened to some really good music.

I’ve been going to Seville quarter for almost 30 years.

Griffiss Air Force Base in Upstate New York

It was an odd venue for sure, but I couldn’t comprehend the amount of people that would attend. In retrospect, it did make sense, but I didn’t expect to get blistered by the Sun in late July at Woodstock’99. Who would have thought they would have set up the stages on the tarmac 1.5 miles apart? But they did and as miserable as it was, it was well worth it. So much awesome music jammed within a weekend. Memories, visuals, and experiences that will remain with me for a lifetime.

Angelle hall for sure

First exposure to Angelle Hall was as a ten year old. It wasn't music, though it did resonate.

It was a video documentary on women giving birth.

Thanks mom, pregnant women are sexy. Help

Grant Street...

Saw BB King there. Was the last of my bucket list of guitarists.

I know it’s at TSAB, but the PMac has awesome acoustics. It is also a great example of ‘goggie’ architecture.* Saw the Eagles play there way back in the day and it was one of the best concerts I’ve been to…and I was not/still not a huge Eagles fan.

*Googie style is very a very spec style…very space age. Think the Space needle in Seattle or the the Jetson’s apt building.

Was that the concert where Joe Walsh had just joined the Eagles? Might have been the River Center. Was the best Eagles concert of the 3 I’ve been to. Place exploded when he came out and played a James Gang set.

It was the Hotel California tour, 19f’ng76, lol. I was a sr in high school, but my best friends were already in college at TSAB

And yes, that was right after Walsh had joined, and I’m a huge fan of his. They started it off w/the the Hotel Calif song, and that was the first time we had heard it….they had just finished recording it. Still one of my fav songs…and it was fantastic hearing it live.

saw the Eagles at the Coonastrodome . . . they were still good there
