I've got plenty of favorites, some sell better than others. There's also plenty of places I've yet to see them, so I'll include those, too. Hell, let's start with them:
1) Red Rocks in Colorado 2) Winterland in San Fran/quote]
To see them at Winterland you're gonna need a time machine, since the last show there was the epic GD 12/31/78, and it's long since been torn down.
Oops... Yeah, I meant the Fillmore....although, if we are including places that no longer exist....I would include:
The Winterland in San Fran The Fillmore East in NYC Little Brothers in Columbus, Oh
Hands down one of the best venues to see a show, period. Surprised this place didn't make your list Rev...
I've only seen them at the Beachland once, but it was one of the least good (because can I really say any rock show is bad?) venues/nights I've been at.
...a long day of improbable and grotesque mischief

Interesting, what led to the negative opinion of the place? Just curious, as I have also seen DBT at HOB in Cleveland, which I feel is not the best venue for them. I prefer to see them and other acts at the Beachland simply due to the fact that the place is a stripped down, open hall and provides an intimate setting to rock. Plus PBRs are cheaper and the staff at the place is always cool, no one gives you any hassle. Whereas, at a venue like HOB, you are tagged, wanded and herded around like cattle. I have also seen them at Mr. Smalls in Pittsburgh which was cool, but the whole Church thing kinda threw me off. Newport is pretty cool as a venue, however, the "frat factor" is rather high at that place and always tends to detract from the overall experience.
The Variety Playhouse (Atl) The Capital Theater (Macon) The Georgia Theater (Ath) The Great American Music Hall (SF) I hate the Freebird and that place they played in Birmingham during the Dirt Underneath tour. The stage there was way too high.
and that pussy Alec Baldwin blew that girl away, and speaking of pussy Steve got it all!
Orange Peel The Handlebar - Greenville SC (reminds me of the early days) Windjammer - Isle of Palms, SC (hot, sweaty and on the beach) Visulite - Charlotte NC Georgia Theater

I guess you didn't know about my hatred of all things Cleveland As a proud Buckeye, my loyalty lies with Columbus....even if DBT doesn't draw for shit at the Newport. (They should play at Skully's !)

Some of it may have been a very short set. Patterson was in a very bad mood and said so. The crowd was kinda meh. So, maybe it was just a "meh" kind of night, and not the ballroom.

Honorable mention: The Abbey Pub 40 Watt Busters
Shank Hall was a great place to see the band!
The Pabst theater in Milwaukee is definitely my favorite venue though. Pristine sound and $3 tall cans of PBR!
for a few hours, I'm 19 years old and rock and roll is the only thing that matters.
My Favorites- The Orange Peel Tabernacle Music Farm 40 Watt Patronaat-Haarlem NL(not that the venue was that great or the sound or anything, just getting to see them in Holland was cool, not too mention the week in Amsterdam too)
they would draw better in Columbus if they designated it as their only Ohio show. That's what MMJ did and they packed the outdoor LCP. If you play Cleveland, Columbus AND Cincy, you're not likely to pack all (or any) of the 3
Pretty lame if those three cities can't support a 400 -1000 capacity venue on the same tour.

You would be suprised the types of shows that get zero support in Cleveland. It sucks that those bands (that I personally think kick ass) draw shitty numbers in this town. DBT are finally getting some backing here, but as Maluca pointed out, the crowd was blah. I have seen them with smaller crowds that were way more into the show. I guess that happens as the fan base grows. The last Jason show here had 30 people at it and I saw the Deadstring Brothers a few weeks back and there were 12 people there. But rest assured, the Jonas Brothers are coming and I'm sure that place will be packed.

Think of it this way, if you live in Columbus you are within driving range of Chicago, Indy, Cincy, Cleve, P-burgh, Louisville and Nashville. Not to mention there are half a dozen venues to see a show in Columbus, so your options are wide open. It's hard to sell out the Newport. I saw Clutch do it in 2004, but they played for over four hours (if you include the Bakerton Group set) AND tickets were only $5 !
Ok for the purposes of a fond memory and first time seeing, that would be the Bowery in NY.
As for good venue I do like the 930, this will be my 3rd time seeing them there. But I plan on doing the Athens shows in the winter so this too can change....see ya'll at the RAWK show!!!

Was this not the Dirt Underneath Tour? I don't remember Patterson saying anything about being in a bad mood, in fact quite the opposite. He came onstage and said, "When we woke up this morning this was gonna be an acoustic show, but we decided to Rock instead!" (or something to that effect) They then plugged in and played a really solid show in my opinion. I was really hoping to see the stripped down acoustic set, but I can't say I was disappointed with The Rock Show.

A 4+ hour show? That sounds intense.
I think this may be the place I would list as my least favorite. It has been a few years, I remember it was raining. There was a frat-boy overload that really cramped my style. That, and the fact there was one girl who was clearly in need of a DD was being passed around and groped by a pack of 6 or 7 frat boys. I seriously heard one of them (a totally unattractive douchebag) say something to the effect of "come on, we'll all take turns with her" and it threw me through a loop. When most of the DBT fans started the "D-B-T" chant, they overtook the crowd with a "U-S-A" chant that even left Cooley a little confused. Overall that show was good, but the crowd and the people surrounding me left a bad taste about it all.
I think hands down the greatest show I saw was last summer at the Cannery Ballroom. I took a girlfriend of mine who hadn't heard of DBT and we listened to the ACL cd on the way down from Cincy (actually passed the Truckers' tour bus on the way there too--but didn't realize it was theirs at the time). The crowd was fantastic, they played some stuff off The Fine Print but I think it was the performance of "A World of Hurt" that just blew me away. It was one of those perfect moments where you hear something and it suddenly clicks in a different way and I'm so happy to have found the recorded version of that show.
I also really liked them when I saw them about 2 years ago at The Vogue in Indy. I haven't seen DBT at the Beachland, but I loved when I last saw Cracker play there---what a fantastic venue.
