| - A review of Lee's Palace is almost dependent on the show, almost. So, I'm going to try my best to separate the venue from the concert.
As a venue, it's stereotypical right down to the... well, the grungy entrance way, graffiti covered bathroom stalls, dusty appearing floors, black interiors, hockey-rink-concession-type bar, linoleum dance floor, slightly parted backstage curtain.
None of those stand out as reasons to go to Lee's Palace. It's certainly the concerts you go there to check out and when it comes to live acts in Toronto this is THE venue.
Crowds are usually friendly, after all everyone's there with similar musical tastes. Frankly, I think I'd be thrown for a curve if I met someone who was there for the venue.
