OK Twitter, What’s the best music venue in America?
(It can’t be a converted sports venue or a park. I’m talking about a place that was built for music.)
I nominate the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.

The early front runner is Red Rocks in Colorado. We played there accompanied by the Colorado Symphony. I don’t read music so I spent most of the show counting while trying to remember the lyrics.
Lots of love for First Avenue in Minneapolis, the 930 Club in DC and the Gorge.

To my mind, a rock and roll show is part confessional, part revival, part circus, and on that front the Fillmore in San Francisco will always have a soft spot in my heart. We've had so many wild nights there...
God, I remember our last show at the Wiltern. We just finished up two tours and like a hundred dates. My dad had just died and all our friends and family were backstage dancing with their kids. It felt like the last night on Earth.

Wow. We got Red Rocks trending. I guess that means we have an answer.
Honorable mention to Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA. Playing there felt magical. The organist gave me a 10 minute tutorial on the organ and let me start the show up there. It ended with a children's choir, a marching band, a string quartet and ballet folklórico dancers.
