Music venues play a vital role in how we experience live music. Concerts can create some of the most vivid memories we hold, and a proper setting is crucial to making those memories good ones. There are countless wonderful live music venues across the United States, and they all deserve to be celebrated. I certainly haven't been to all of the best venues in the United States, but I have been to a large number of them in nearly every region of the country. In this video I'll be highlighting my personal top ten favorite music venues in America. I do my best to remain objective, but I do save a little room for personal bias. Be sure to tell me about your favorites in the comments, and whether or not you agree with my top 10!

The Brooklyn Mirage is probably my favorite venue that I've been to. Great sound. Great views of the Manhattan skyline & the 200ft wide x 20ft tall LED screen is next level! The Armory in Minneapolis is another great venue! Great sound, a ton of bartenders so you're never waiting to buy a drink. I saw someone else mention it but The Eastern in ATL is really nice with the three floors. Great views from anywhere inside that venue. If I can include venue/campgrounds then Spirit of The Suwannee Music Park is probably my favorite venue. The natural amphitheater is great for the main stage. The venue is massive, has a diner, a general store, a beach on the Suwannee River & you can camp next to your car at no additional cost (unlike most festival campground/venues)

I live in Denver so I'm biased, but you should definitely hit up Bass Canyon and Thunderdome. two great venues.

@audioeats 2 месяца назад

Both are definitely on my bucket list for sure

@driftadvocate1839 10 месяцев назад

The Caverns in Pelham TN is the best venue on the east coast. Total vibe and special atmosphere. Capitol theatre and Meow Wolf NM are super dope as well. Smaller venues like Kings Rook in Erie Pa and Thunderbird in Pittsburgh are must goto if your in WPA.

@audioeats 10 месяцев назад

I definitely want to go to Caverns and Meow Wolf (NM and Denver). I used to live in Nashville and had tickets to VOYD at his first show at the caverns but forgot I was going out of town that weekend so I didn't get to go, and I still haven't been 🙁 It's insane how many electronic artists play there now, I definitely need to go

The north warehouse Portland Oregon is one of the best venues ever. 3 stages, one main room, one 360 annex stage and one outside stage all with their own theme and feel. Live art, a flow section, festivals level production and ofc the funkitrons. RIP to the best venue in Portland

@audioeats 5 месяцев назад

Did it close down? I have a friend who lives in Portland and he also says that's his favorite

@xVestmanx 21 день назад

@gr33ny3te2 7 месяцев назад

Its not in the US, but my favorite venue is Shambhala in British Columbia. I live an hour from the Gorge Ampetheather, and while its a spectacular view...its got nothing on the feel of shambhala. Shambhala has some of the best practices for an edm festival. Free drug testing, harm reduction, amazing food, and an amazing staff crew. Never felt safer or more at home in a music environment🫶

@audioeats 7 месяцев назад

I'd love to go to Shambhala, I've heard a lot of people say it's the best festival in the world

Red rocks will always be number 1 black box is great but… Red Rocks Bro! Crystal ballroom in Portland! A close 2nd Brooklyn mirage in Brooklyn a solid tie for second for the vibes! And I have yet to go but the gorge is on the list of must dos

@audioeats 5 месяцев назад

Red Rocks is incredible but I just wish the sound was better in the upper 2/3rds of the seats, still an insane venue though! Never been to Brooklyn mirage or the gorge but definitely need to sometime!

@dspock 10 месяцев назад

Probably The Anthem in DC, 9:30 Club for the dc music experience, some would say echostage but they oversell and overpack the venue. For soundsystem and intimate setting, flash dc for sure but Franklin music hall in Philly is a really nice venue, and is a short drive from northern VA.

@MeBeEric Месяц назад

Culture in DC is great too. Echostage is S tier tho

@marlowalexander7677 10 месяцев назад

You gotta come to my hometown (Grand Rapids, MI) and go to a show at The Intersection, which actually has four venues inside They do quarterly “Bass Country” shows where they open up 3 out of 4 of the stages and you get to roam from stage to stage like a festival. One stage is bass, one is experimental/downtempo and the other is usually house music.

@audioeats 10 месяцев назад

4 venues in one sounds nuts! Didn't Deathpact play at the most recent bass country?

@spiritbass15920 4 месяца назад

Red Rocks is absolutely the best, followed by Mission Ballroom. I've been around. I will fight anyone over this.

@audioeats 4 месяца назад

I love Red Rocks and it's by far the most beautiful venue I've been to, but the sound quality definitely puts a bit of a damper on the experience for me, but it's also totally reasonable that the sound isn't top notch given the unique environment. Haven't been to Mission yet but I've heard really good things

@spiritbass15920 4 месяца назад

Mission is absolutely incredible, I've been to hundreds of shows and dozens of festivals and I've never heard anything so perfectly dialed in.@@audioeats

@spiritbass15920 4 месяца назад

@@audioeats Mission Ballroom is second to none in almost all aspects, I've been to hundreds of shows and dozens of festivals and I've never heard anything so incredible. Every single show is so perfectly dialed in.. Honestly when someone I want to see announces a show it's a pretty big bonus if it's at Mission, the only thing it has against it is lack of stuff to do immediately outside the venue, but its so easy to get in and out of it doesn't really matter. As far as Red Rocks goes, rarely is the sound noticeably lacking imo, being directly in front or behind the sound stage is advisable. The vibes of the whole place are otherworldly, its a special kind of magic I've not experienced elsewhere and the artists know it resulting in very special shows.

@IEdjumacate 3 месяца назад

Radius in Chicago gotta be on this list. One of the best warehouses to party in. Easy access to bars & bathrooms, generally not oversold at all, great AC, great sound. Amazing vibe for house & techno shows.

I have experienced red rocks many times (4 times to be exact) and I’m only 15 and what he says is true so if you do go go for the middle to front if you want the front my strategy is to go to the upper south lot 2-3 hours early and wait in line It works perfectly if you pull it off

I did not expect the Ritz Ybor to be mentioned! That's where I've seen the majority of concerts since I started going in 2022. The Mid Florida Credit Union Amphitheater is also good, saw Odesza there last year, although electronic acts there are few and far between.

@audioeats 2 месяца назад

The Ritz is always a good time! Ybor gets kinda sketchy late at night though 😂

@davidvenafro1295 Месяц назад

Ritz is my home venue, only issue I have with it is the sound quality is lacking compared to other venues I've been to, so many dead zones

@@davidvenafro1295 Yeah for sure, it's also just way too loud and sometimes distorted

@Jack-nj9pi 23 дня назад

For uniqueness i dont think anything tops the caverns place is just mental and for sound i havent heard anything more crisp then the coleseuim in hampton va. As for biased picks middle east in boston cause its the hometown nitty gritty, the amory in Minnesota cause the space and sound just goes hand in hand there and the bill graham in la because the view there is beautiful when the artist does a good set up

@audioeats 22 дня назад

I used to live in Nashville and had tickets to VOYD the first time he played at the caverns but I forgot I had a trip planned that weekend so I had to sell my ticket, then I moved a few months later so I've still never been to the caverns 😞 I'm going to see Porter Robinson and Pretty Lights at the Armory later this year so I'm excited for that, a lot of people have told me the Armory is great

@kennethponce5589 9 дней назад

The Ritz has the worst audio system I've ever heard in any venue in my life and that's no exaggeration

@audioeats 9 дней назад

Eh I think it's pretty average, it sounds the best towards the middle of the room though. I've definitely heard way worse, red rocks is honestly a few notches below the ritz in audio quality, but idk if that's fair to compare since outdoor elements affect that. Mardi Gras World in New Orleans and Church in Denver are probably tied for the 2 worst sound systems I've ever heard.
