I do believe we have heard it all before with regards to this venue. But if one truly needs to share thoughts about Constitution, post them here not the Just Announced thread. Otherwise they will be deleted from the just announced thread
Constitution Hall
i like it but only seen one show which was death cab and ra ra riot. Pretty good show ;D
the building reaks of pretty positions on an outside perspective when rainy, smoldering fog drifts through the city thus hiding the carts of death eggrolls, two for ten tshirts, and pizza by the slice.
mmmmmm…eggrolls
worst venue in the district and potentially one of the worst venues I've ever been to in my concert going career of 15 years or so.
when i get a moment i'll search for one of my previous posts about why it isn't bad. i don't mind it. not my fav, but i've seen some amazing shows there and it can sound great. to be continued.

by that logic, seeing how the last time they played dc they played the same venue meaning they must like the venue, the pixies must be the worst band you have ever heard in the last 15 years.
when it's walkonby who is bringing the logic, you KNOW the thread is headed somewhere interesting.
I'll take DAR over a sold out/overcrowded 9:30 Club any day
I usually have a good time at DAR.
its like seeing a band presented as a museum exhibit . . .that works better for some acts than others . . .
Walkonby's got a lolcat photo for this thread. I just know it.
of course he does wheres the cat ;D
Here kitty, kitty, kitty. Come on out and play, you furry little ball of lovin'. ;D
On topic: DAR isn't my favorite venue but, as a few others have said, it's not bad with the right acts. Have to admit that I was well impressed with how well The Pixies came off at DAR. Their return should be a good show.
At least I'll go to DAR if it's a show I really want to see, unlike Nissan or any arena or stadium shows.

when i go to the constitution hall in the dc town and listen to the pixies:
Pixies were great there last time!…
But the venue is just not a MUSIC venue.. its not meant for shows… Seth should build a midsize concert hall and stop cheapskating it by renting DAR…

DAR has been a music venue ever since it opened and refused to allow black performers on stage for the first thirty years or so … maybe it's not a ROCK MUSIC venue, but it's certainly a MUSIC venue …

Why? He has access to use Merriweather for five plus months out of the year. A just how many mid-size events get booked in these parts, certainly not enough to justify the building of a venue which would sit empty most of the time.
Also it's a shame Seth can't get a sweetheart deal from some local county government in order to build a larger club in a revitalized town center area. Or for that matter be able to book shows at the Warner Theater…
Warner is a Live Nation venue.
As for Constitution Hall every show I seen there has been a good time. They also pour a good cocktail there.
