NYC
A newer venue but quickly becoming one of my NYC favorites. Good views of the stage from pretty much anywhere, sound has always been great. The merch/lobby area is pretty small but otherwise I always enjoy shows here.
Racket NYC
This is probably the NYC venue I’ve been to most often. Usually always have a good time here even though I end up standing near the back bar and with the balcony overhang it does get a little hard to see the stage.
Irving Plaza
Another iconic NYC venue. I’ve always had a good experience here. Super easy to get in and out of. I’ve been in both the upper and lower bowl and while the upper level is fine, I definitely prefer the lower bowl sections. Also highly recommend keepin...
Madison Square Garden
Hands down my favorite outdoor venue in NYC when the weather is nice. They do offer free ponchos though if it rains. And there’s plenty of space inside downstairs where the bathrooms and merch are if you need a break from the roof. Great views, usual...
The Rooftop at Pier 17
Everywhere Else
Simply iconic. If you ever have a chance to see a show here, I highly recommend it, especially if it’s your favorite band. Also recommend looking into the various shuttles that come from downtown Denver vs. driving. Either way though you WILL be walk...

Neighborhood Theatre
Have only been here once but this is a really cool room. Can’t speak for the balcony, but there were good views from the floor pretty much all around, sounded great, etc.
MGM Music Hall at Fenway
All of my Chicago friends rave about this place. Finally went for the first time a few months ago to a show in the outdoor part and it definitely lived up to the hype.
The Salt Shed
Went here for the first time recently and would absolutely go back! Really liked the layout of this venue and the way the floor is separated in different levels. And the balcony overhang doesn’t really block the view at all which is a huge plus from ...
The Wellmont Theater
