I did a YouTube Saturday post a couple months back that focused on one venue instead of any particular band. At that time I featured Schubas in Chicago, the club I truly believe is the best in the Midwest.
Now it’s off to the East coast and the club I feel may be one of the best period – Maxwells in Hoboken. Like all the great venues it’s small and long. The sound tunnels down the tube-like building creating excellent sightlines and in the case of the Nirvana show from `89 and aural assault like none other.
