House of Blues - Anaheim. Solid sound, great stage.

The Roxy, Hollywood - Even better sound. Mid-sized stage. Not a fan of the floor set-up for fans though.

The Glasshouse, Pomona - Bleh sound, but great set-up for fans, it's a fun venue.

My dream venue? Carnegie Hall.

I always look forward to playing Wolf Trap. Great sound everywhere.
Gotta agree with patrickj, Kennedy Center is heaven.

The best place we ever played was the lobby of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Our singer works there. We are strictly amateur but it was an honor to play for the folks coming in for treatment and the doctors and nurses who dedicate their lives to their work and the people visiting their friends and loved ones.

About half way through our set there was a large (6-8) contingent of guys in suits that looked to be on some sort of tour of the facility. In my dreams, I imagine them going back to their hospitals and reporting that the secret to DFCI's success is live blues music on Friday afternoons.

Erm, that place is world famous mate. The beatles played there in 1961, and after that another 300 times. The Who, the Stones and the Yardbirds also played there. You make it sound like it's unimportant.

ok I really must learn that sometimes dry humour doesn't come across too well when written down.

playing on that stage probably is one of the best moments of my life to date!

Just want to re-iterate the Cavern Club Is AWESOME! the sound crew at this place really do know there stuff and I feel really privileged to have been able to play there.
