| - Downtown Phoenix needed a larger venue that could accommodate active dancers, puking drinkers, and wallflowers into a room that has a good sound system, year-round temperature control, acoustics, and good promoters.
Thank you Crescent Ballroom. You saved the day. Now I don't have to watch Phish in 120 degrees, turning into human bacon, paying too much for a foamy beer that is going to turn into pee water in two minutes. Oh, and I don't even like the band anyway... because they always play in dusty-outdoor-half-empty amphitheaters with awful sound caused by rattling sheet metal and airplane noise pollution.
So, when a friend asks me,
"Dude, you want to spend 120 bones to see String Cheese Incident at Mesa Ampitheater?"
I am going to politely say no and go see Big Freedia from a dark corner in a cool ballroom and drink my delicious whisky and coke that only costs 5 bucks.
This venue is great for the music industry, it's great for the penny pinchers, it's great for the socialites, and it's great for Phoenix. Charlie Sheen can't win this much with three nostrils.
