    The current one is the best. The Keswick was the location of my first ROSfest and the sound was good but depended on the band it could be good or too loud which devastated the acoustics.

    The Bottom Line in NYC was a great club. Saw Holdsworth, Annie Haslam and Trey Gunn there. New York University (the money grubbing bastards) didn't renew their lease and it went bye-bye. I'll never forgive NYU for that. Shitty school where people who can't get into Ivy League colleges go to pretend.

    Would cast my vote for NYC-Radio City Music Hall----Saw many great shows there---the final US Porcupine Tree show--DT Score---and US premier of DSoTM by Floyd..The incredible art deco beauty of the venue and solid acoustics help to seal the deal.

    Yeh, I saw Sting's first solo tour there. Just awesome sound. Also saw Joe Jackson there in the 80's, again awesome sound.

    Saw Greg Lake there about 3 or 4 years ago. Although it was more like 2 sets of Greg Lake Karaoke. Still a nice venue. Also saw Bob Mould there in 1998.

    Don't think that PT at RCMH was an official sell out. Certainly 90-95% from my vantage point. A special set list that included acoustic set and old psych workouts.

    PT with Robert Fripp at Town Hall near Times Square sold out. Town Hall is a good venue, not sure about all of the prog acts.
