The last time I saw Van Halen with Dave was 1984. I went both nights at Kemper and it was amazing. I vividly remember both shows, although they were nearly identical. Man, what a party! |

Maybe that's just me getting older? IMO, the accoustics of the place are just......off, somehow. The shows that I've seen in there don't have the same sound as they did in Kemper to me. Everything is just a bit too distorted, or a bit too loud, or a bit too soft.... Sprint Center is nice and new and shiny, and all of that, but I'm not so sure that it's a better venue for rock concerts than Kemper was. |

Kemper was always a good venue and the only band that I found that was too loud was Metallica, when they opened for Ozzy back like in 1986/1987. My friends and I went out to the concourse and could hear them more clearly than in the arena. Way too loud. |

The only concert I've seen at Sprint was Pearl Jam and I didn't really notice the seats being uncomfortably small (but that doesn't mean they aren't, compared to places I haven't been, of course). In general, I hate big arena shows and I'm not a fan of big arena ticket prices either. Give me the Uptown, Knuckleheads,

You know, I was going to qualify that by stating that no, the people who've told me this are not fat, but I decided against it. My bad. Quote:
But nothing compares to the Hollywood Bowl and the Greek Theater. It's an indescribable feeling to watch phenomenal performances outdoors, under a blanket of stars, with incredible acoustics to boot. |

My dad would never even try lobster because he thought there was no sense in acquiring a taste for it when beef was cheaper. I'm sure the places where I see shows don't come close to those places when it comes to acoustics, but since I've never experienced better, they work for me just like beef worked for my dad.

The Sprint Center seats are a little close. Not bad, a great venue. Acoustics seem a little rough to me. Maybe it's my ears. I've seen 10 or 12 shows there but don't have a "great" acoustical venue to compare it against. |

Hope it's good, I'm going to see Black Crowes there, but then I'm about half deaf at this point.

I saw (the guy from) Everclear there and had a real good time. I can't speak to acoustics, but it sounded fine to me. Nice size place, too.

Oh, Art? Yeah, he's a cool dude. Or at least he was, back in the 90's. Really talented guy that's kind of been off the radar for a while.
