Venues you love and remember...
Not beautiful on the outside but it is the loudest sauna in Hamburg^^
For indoors, I think
Loved the raked floor & the columns at the back.
Fond memories of The Sisters & my (then) GF dropping a toilet roll (that she'd borrowed from another girl when asking for a tissue) & watching it roll down the raked floor.
For outdoors
Simply as it was beautiful.
For oddness
Get a crowd jumping in there & it moves about.

I don't have any pictures but I was ensnared by the pics of the Astoria and (a later than my version of) the Marquee. Happy, happy days. You just need to add the Clarendon and the Ad Lib and there's my misspent youth, all bulldozered now.

That's not the biggest venue in Wroclaw but somehow they brought and still brings big bands like Swans, Savage Republic, Jarboe, Fu Manchu,the 69eyes, Samael, The Young Gods, Glenn Hughes, Dälek, Legendary Pink Dots and many,many more. Last year - i mean this ending year- i was there about 6 times.

The Clarendon's no more?
Many a good show I saw there. Violets, Nephs, Gaye Bykers....
Wasn't the prettiest, but was cosy.

Not sure about yer Astoria, I've only been the once and it was a black sweaty pit that glued yer feet to the floor. I much preferred the Royal Albert Hall
Newcastle Mayfair - saw many a fine gig before they knocked it down (yes it's a terrible picture I've found of the outside)
Edinburghs Liquid Room is rather a nice little venue too, saw the Dead Kennedys 2.5 yrs ago there and then it burnt down a week later

Cannot remember the name of it, but it is a boat in Paris, floating in the river! Went there with Time Again and had a bloody good night

The Hummingbird in Brum was always good for an evening's entertainment.
The Astoria was also ok.

The old Victoria Hall, Hanley, Stoke On Trent before it got done up- saw my first two gigs ever there (Saxon & Maiden) and discovered why seeing bands live was so good. Queued for the Maiden one in a short sleeve tshirt in heavy snow for hours. Turned slightly blue but still worth it.
Trillians Rockbar, tucked away under ground here in sunny Newcastle. Has a certain reputation these days as not being quite so metal but still ok. Not as good a venue as it once was but used to have proper grade A gigs on a tiny stage. Saw loads of bands there standing about 2 inches from them due to the virtually non-existent stage. That's a real buzz.
Also saw Goldfrapp at an album launch press night at Union Chapel in Islington - truly beautiful place with the crowd all sat in wooden pews. Odd as a venue but lovely if it fits who you're seeing.

a venue I've never warmed to Scott, if I had to chose from what's open these days I'd go for the ABC

Saw way too many bands to mention there, in my gig going heyday of 1988-94.
Once found myself all of a fluster when I saw a certain Mr Hussey at a Drug Free America gig there, in early 88. Didn't dare approach the great man......just bathed in the holy glow of his presence from a distance instead.
