Eagles ballroom has the worst sound of any venue I've been in. It's a big oval room with all hard surfaces, so it's like being in a big echo chamber. You have to stand near the back wall to have tolerable sound.\r
\r
The Rave has OK sound, but the night I was there, it was easily 90 degrees inside, no ventilation, no AC. Granted, this the day after a heat wave, but the low the night before was in the 60's. Open a window already!\r
\r
Both venues offer little seating, pack you in like cattle, and charge $6 for a beer. \r
\r
For some shows to get people in they give out passes: buy two drinks up front and get in ""free"". They charge $20 for the two drinks.\r
\r
I pity the person that buys two tickets to a show here, pays the ticketmaster extortion fees, parking, and two drinks. For two people, you're looking at $100 to see a c-list band.
