Say what you want about his politics, but Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are one of the tightest live acts in music today.

I’m about to watch Jason Isbell (3rd time this year) at a football stadium in Asheville, North Carolina.

The moon and stars are out, the night air is cooling off, and I’m front and center for one of my favorite artists of all-time.

Apart from the usual suspects (Red Rocks shows), what phenomenal concert venues have you guys attended?

For personal reason i absolutely love the tabernacle here in Atlanta. It just pulls some amazing performances out of bands

Doesn't hurt that ive done some "the hangover" level new years partying there. ABB, Moe, pretty lights, etc

The Shaw Center/Manship Theater in BR is pretty cool. Only 350 +/- seats in the house. I've seen some GREAT acts there...Jane Monheit, Arturo Sandoval, Margo Price, and Leeann Womack next year...not a bad seat in the house!!

Tabernacle is also just a very cool venue in general and the setup is phenomenal.

I have a soft spot for the old New Orleans HOB and was very disappointed going back there a few months ago with how it changed.

Glad it's not just me, I remember when HOB NOLA first opened, that was the best sounding venue ever for what my ears like to hear in live rock and blues music (the only genres I've seen there).

2nd Tabernacle. Spend more for the vip tickets and balcony w/ your own bar and bathroom. One of the few times vip is worth it.

Red Rocks has been my favorite as far as atmosphere. I went this year and it was awesome

But for pure sound, the Fox Theatre in Atlanta is the goat

Locally, I love concerts at the Hard Rock. It’s small enough to maintain a relatively “club” feel, but big enough (with a big enough stage) that concerts feel like concerts. Stone Temple Pilots at the Hard Rock (with Scott Weiland) was one of the greatest concerts I’ve seen, and going in I wasn’t a big fan of them at all. Place was packed shoulder to shoulder, major audience participation on songs, and you could just feel the floor bouncing under your feet. Amazing show. Wouldn’t have felt the same in an arena. Judas Priest at the Hard Rock was a similar experience.

Well...Red Rocks. I've been to a shitload of shows there.

But I guess if that's disqualified, then The Tabernacle is a great venue. Some others:
Paramount in Denver
Saenger in New Orleans
Wolf Trap outside of DC
Shoreline Amphitheater in Silicon Valley

Gamh is awesome. The greek in berkely and yoshis in oakland are also bay area venues i dig.

Red rocks and the gorge and breathtaking.

I love tipitinas for the vibe and the fact that parking is so easy is a huge plus.

I love the beacon theatre and bowery ballroom in nyc as well. My 2 favorite nyc venues are no longer with us, the wetlands and tonic.

Not sure why anyone lets a musician's poltics get under their skin.
Let me guess, Isbell is not really down with the Pumpkin.
