Is it the camaraderie of the staff, fellow music lovers, musicians? Or is a great place a matter of the sound in a space? Does great sound equal great experience? Maybe it is the fact of seeing your favorite performer(s) or hearing a song that you adore that makes a place special?
What do you think? Is it one of those reasons or is it something more about the culture of a location, street, neighborhood that makes for a powerful experience at a show?
