There is something to be said for a venue that's big enough to actually breathe in! All of the nice grass and trees put Mesa Ampitheatre at the top of my list. You can sit if you want, or rush up to the front, mosh, and take a shower in everyone else's sweat. You can probably guess where I am. This place is awesome when the weather is nice! The shows are not the cheapest but they bring in some big names.
