skip from st.paul mn Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 In today's Minneapolis Star Tribune, Arts & Entertainment section, Quick Spins:The Raspberries, who split in 1975, did a reunion gig in November in Cleveland and have booked two more shows.A bit dated but a mention nonetheless. I think we have the perfect venue for a Twin Cities show, First Avenue. It is hard to judge if there is a big difference in sound from the HOB, but I know the drinks are cheaper and the staff much friendlier. Great place to watch a show!! About the same size as the Cleveland HOB, maybe a bit larger capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymooladi Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 But skip, does it have seats???June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip from st.paul mn Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 Sorry for not getting sooner, celebrating the Vikes victory over the Packers. Anyway, First Avenue is a general admission venue that has limited main and upper room seating. For main acts such as Cheap Trick, Paul Westerberg and Soul Asylum, I believe they have packed in 1,500-1,700. Some folks believe they can get 2,000, but I think the fire marshall would have something to say about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Benfer Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hey Skip...I'm a Vikings fans too and I live right in the middle of Eagle country. As longs as they can beat the Eagles next week, I don't care what happens after that. That's my Superbowl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip from st.paul mn Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 I'll probably be listening to the game on my way back from the show, maybe the Vikes will turn it on one more time. Anyway, we think we had our Super Bowl yesterday. Looking forward to the anticipated great show on Saturday. I will also catch The Drysdale's set as they really do a retro-Berries style the best of anyone I've heard. Play On!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
