After seeing Wilco there for the second year in a row I would be hard pressed to not name "The Pines at Look Park"  in Northampton MA my favorite venue.  The only reason I would not name it "Best Venue Ever" is because of the poor facilities and food service.  Just hold it till its over and enjoy!

For an outdoor venue Alpine Valley in Wisconsin is a lot of fun.   The sound is excellent & the environment is akin to a great musical experience.


The Fox Theatre in St. Louis, Mo. is a great indoor theatre.

I'd vote for the Bob Carr in Orlando as my favorite.

The worst I've ever been to is the Ice House in Tampa--they should have called it the Cement House. It was so bad that James Taylor stopped a performance there so he could try to improve things.  The problem wasn't him- it was the venue. I got to hear him twice, during the same show, due to the awful echo.

BB Kings In NYC if ya get there early you can have the table infront of the stage Never get as close as that

Universal Amphitheater, Hollywood.  That is a great sounding forum.

Wolf Trap in Virginia is a great outdoor venue and The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas is an intimate indoor venue.

Village Vanguard...doesn't get any more intimate than there.

I liked yoshi's in oakland.  The sound wasn't great, but there are no terrible seats, you can arrive early to reserve and then come back when the show starts, and second set is free if it's not sold out.  No drink minimum?  Great deal in my book.
