Is this a good venue?! What else can you say about it?
Recher Theater
Converted movie theatre. Sound is ok. Easy to get to. Plenty of free parking. Probably not the worst venue you'll ever go to.
I approve.
My favorite thing about Recher is that the room is longer than it is wide, so even though it's a fairly sizable space, being up close makes it feel a lot smaller.
Despite the drive, it is decent. I've hit a few shows there when I lived closer (White Stripes, Flaming Lips, Ween), and it was usually a pretty good time. Especially the beer carts by the side of the stage.

Last time I was there I nearly choked on the smoke. Those days are almost gone, right?

i think the only shows i've seen at the recher are wilco shows and a pavement/white stripes show way back in the day, but i've always had a very good time. definitely helps to be up front, but the vibe is always a bit rowdy. i've seen wilco about 10 times and when they played there on the "mermaid ave. 2" tour that was by far the best i've seen them, and i think the venue had something to do with that.

09/25/1999 …I think 1999 was their very last year of touring.
