Any recommendations on smaller outdoor amphitheater’s?

I hate playing those or any outdoor venue during the day.

You seriously put an apostrophe?

Greek Theater in Griffith Park

wonderful venue. I saw Neil Diamond there and since he had recorded my fav album there (Hot August Night), it was great to imagine how it was in '72

the Ford amphitheater in Vail is the nicest, prettiest, most enjoyable small amphitheater I’ve ever been to.

A show there is worth a special trip

another special trip worthy spot is town park stage in telluride. It’s just a stage in a green park but it’s surrounded by trees and the box canyon with a damn waterfall running above and behind it.

Hard to believe the dead once played there, that must have been something to see.

It’s an expensive trip but we’ve been to the RIDE festival there twice in the past and going again this year.

Surprisingly the one in Brandon MISS is pretty cool.

My neighbors told me about this one in Sweden in an old rock quarry.

Most people think of the Hollywood Bowl when it comes to L.A. amphitheaters but the Greek Theater in Griffith Park is my preferred place to catch an outdoor show. It holds a crowd of around 5k. Saw Band of Horses there as well The War on Drugs. Both great shows

The Santa Barbara Bowl is awesome as well. I saw Flight of the Conchords there back when I was a teen.

Outdoor gigs are completely reliant upon the weather, and the weather in the South SUCKS most of the year. It's always either ridiculously hot, sleeting cold, or storming. There's maybe like a dozen nice days each year, and it will never be one of the ones where you're performing. Believe it or not, though, there's actually large swaths of the country where this is not the case. A lot of places actually have a huge chunk of the year where it is always pleasant to be outside. I know this is crazy coming from South Louisiana, but it's true.
