Yeah, it was a dive, but there were bands I wanted to see booked there--just never got to see any of them. Your last paragraph reminded me of an amusing anecdote. Years ago I went to Columbus for the weekend. One of my relatives and her boyfriend mistakenly thought I was going to Bernie's to see Them Wranch, so they went there thinking we'd meet up. It was so hot, crowded and chatoic they were afraid they would die, especially if a fire broke out. So as soon as they figured out I wasn't coming, they bolted. If it was that way for Them Wranch, I can't imagine what it was like for Beck. |

impossible for me to name them all. so many + my memory is fucked. when i think of it now, my fav. club/venue of all time would be prehaps Whelans in Dublin, not because of its acoustics, but because of so many acts I have seen there and so much of a good time there.

Ya, exactly. I remember being intrigued that it was a multi-floor duo venue place, in what did not seem to be that big of a building (based on images I was checking out). Thinking on it more now, I am really regretting not hitting it up while I was down there. Always nice to see shows in places with a nice history to them too... |

Two more added to my initial post:
Ludlow Garage, Cincinnati, Ohio Black Plastic Records, Cincinnati, Ohio As of 4/1/2018, Live At The Ludlow Garage has new ownership which dropped "Live At" from the name. Although it's in the same location, the ticket vendor has changed, and there likely will be other changes as well. Therefore, I'm listing it as a new venue because it essentially is. As for Black Plastic Records, this past Tuesday they hosted a free in store (ended up on the sidewalk outside the store due to nice weather) gig by K Records head honcho Calvin Johnson, doing his Selector Dub Narcotic hip hop thing. I'm not a fan of the genre but Calvin was funny and entertaining. He seemed to be making fan of rap's violence and macho posturing. My favorite part was a monologue where he called professional football "the biggest bunch of bullshit" for how they treated Colin Kaepernick. Entertaining gig but I'd like to see Calvin do some non-rap music next time. |

One more addition to my list in my initial post.
Memorial Hall, Cincinnati, Ohio Saw a show there late last year. It's a great old theater that had some restoration work done a couple of years ago. I won't be adding any new venues to this list in the foreseeable future due to COVID-19. If anyone has some extra time due to saying home more during this pandemic, feel free to add your list to this thread, or add to your list if you already posted one. |

Additions to my 2016 list :
Netherlands: Melkweg, Amsterdam Effenaar, Eindhoven Arminius, Rotterdam Rotown, Rotterdam Schouwburg, Rotterdam Belgium: Wilde Westen, Kortrijk France: File 7, Magny-le-Hongre (a few minutes from EuroDisney) Le Petit Bain, Paris (I hated the people there) Le Chabada, Angers (some of the nicest people in this city, don't get mislead by the spelling) Le Quai, Angers Le Fuzz'Yon, La Roche-sur-Yon Le 106, Rouen Le Temps Machine, Joué-les-Tours La Citrouille, Saint-Brieuc (has changed its name recently) La Nouvelle Vague, Saint-Malo Le Gentieg, Janzé L'Antipode, Rennes La Criée, Rennes L'Etage, Rennes Institut Franco-Américain, Rennes Le Jardin Moderne, Rennes Le Liberté, Rennes Le MeM, Rennes L'Ubu, Rennes Vieux Saint-Etienne, Rennes (a small abandonned church turned into a venue) Le Mondo Bizarro, Rennes Quite an institution there, a pub turned into a concert place, earning more from shows (a couple every week; Lydia Lunch played there, as did Minami Deutsch), than from customers as it's located far from the nice bits of town The COVID forced the owner to sell the place. A couple of weeks ago. The place will disappear and by replaced by a block of flats. That was so lively, it had more soul than the other venues I've gone to in the city. Le Ferrailleur, Nantes On the verge of collapsing for the same reason, a nice place too, lots of shows every month Le Lieu Unique, Nantes La Sirène, La Rochelle |

Amended my initial post to add the following venues:
Gallagher Student Center Theater, Xavier University, Cincinnati, Ohio Beachland Tavern, Cleveland, Ohio The Orbit Room, Bloomington, Indiana Madison Live, Covington, Kentucky The Beachland Tavern and Madison Live are sister venues adjacent to the main venues, Beachland Ballroom and Madison Theater, respectively. The Orbit Room is an interesting venue. Located in the college town of Bloomington, it is in the basement of the building that houses it and looks like what it probably was decades ago: a beatnik coffeehouse/hangout. In fact, before its present incarnation as a nightclub, it was a "modern" coffeehouse. I saw the great Johnny Dowd there. |

I really need to update my "concerts I've been to" list on that thread, but I've been to several venues around Melbourne - the Northcote Theatre (twice), Max Watt's f.k.a. the Hi-Fi Bar, the Corner Hotel, John Cain Arena f.k.a. Melbourne Arena f.k.a. Hisense Arena, Storey Hall @ RMIT, the Bendigo Hotel, the Retreat Hotel, and a house venue in Footscray.
Soon to add Rod Laver Arena, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall @ the arts centre, and the Sidney Myer Music Bowl to that list.

Two more added to my initial list:
Natalie's Grandview, Columbus, Ohio Hop Farm Brewing Company, Pitttsburgh, Pennsylvania Not impressed by Natalie's Grandview. I hate places where you have to scan a QR code to see menus for food and drink. There are other "modern" touches that are equally annoying. I won't return unless they;re having a band I really want to see. Hop Farm is a brewpub with a small taproom and a larger, warehouse-type room off to side for bands where the vibe is much better. I saw Johnny Dowd there. Nice place to see a band, despite an odd layout. But if you're looking for a place to just enjoy some craft beer, there are better options in Pittsburgh. |

I've been to 170 Russell, and the Eastern Hotel in my hometown of Ballarat, since my last post - plus I can't believe I didn't mention the Forum, which I've been to twice and have both of my next scheduled shows there.

Two updates to my initial post:

Do the venues matter? They all look and sound the same when the beer is in belly
