Gigs Thread

First time at the Aviva Factory yesterday. Longest queue I've ever had for a smaller venue. Think it delayed the band coming on as they need to get the backlog in. Then the food and bar areas equally shite. The box room the gig was in was big but one giant sweat box. They obviously know this as they were handing free water out to barricade when there was no band on. Sound and view fine mind.
But yeah, makes me appreciate going back to an O2 venue and I never thought I'd say that ,
 
On the other hand the hall at the Aviva is great.
Sound quality is superb.
I like their reasonable pricing for drinks too.
Laurie Anderson last week was amazing.
How anyone could prefer the O2 Apollo beggars belief.

Haven't been to the Aviva, so suppose I shouldn't comment.
But, the Apollo is an iconic venue, where we have all seen some brilliant acts and some shite as well.
It's a "rights of passage" legendary Mancunian building, admittedly in a shit area.
Perhaps we don't all want to see artists in a sterilised, soulless "studio" ?
Perhaps the new Co-op already caters for the new style of venues, albeit sitting down ?
