If you could play one time anywhere, what venue would it be?

ANYWHERE anywhere? I'd do something ridiculous, like on Mt. Rushmore, or on the Great Wall of China or something (And dress up like Mongolian warriors. :D)

 

But if you mean actual places with seating and such, I'd go with Fenway Park. Just because it's such a small amount of people that have played there (What...Springsteen, Simon & Garfunkel, Jimmy Buffet, and the Rolling Stones? [Oh, and two of the four are totally undeserving of that honor. Guess which?])

 

And yeah, CBGB's would be cool too. Or Madison Square Garden [Just because hearing that you've played there = you sound really big and important]

But if it were in the "bring back a local place that's gone" category, it'd be Gainesville's Hardback Cafe. Lotsa good memories of a decade of shows there in three different bands.

You should plan a trip to NYC sometime. As long as you are original music, it's not hard to get in there. Granted you would make no money but still.

 

Mine would be a major music awards show. Either the Grammy's or MTV music awards. Not because I necessarily care about them, it's the exposure. On a less grand scale, I'd say the Conan O'Brien show.

For a large venue, I'd have to go with Red Rocks.

 

For an intimate, local place: The Ice House Beer Garden, Wilmington NC. A 50'x70' open-air beer garden with a small bar inside, a big covered stage outside, and a view of the Cape Fear River. We played there 5-6 times a season for about 4 years. Had some great times in that place.

 

During set-up, the bartender would come over and ask "what kinds of beers do you want in your cooler". :)

 

They bulldozed the place last year. :cry:

+1 on Madison Square Garden.

Ever since I saw the "Song Remains the Same" video from Zeppelin I've always dreamed of playing that place.

 

My next choice would be the Electric Factory in Philly because its my favorite place to see shows and the sound is always top notch there IMO. Just a cool looking old factory as well.
