| - Once I found Lee's website, I checked out their "Best Of" band list (http://www.leespalace.com/best.html) of the acts that have graced the stage. The list starts at 1985 and stops mid-1999, I'm guessing out of sheer exhaustion. There's been a lot of great acts that have blessed that stage and that's one of the key things that makes this place a great concert venue.
One of the smaller venues in the city, it's got a great stage, large dance floor in front of it, and a very active bar. Because of the size, you get great sound in the place and sound easily fills the room. There's a seediness to it that can make most to any act that takes the stage look just a little bit bad ass. Might be the mural on the outer wall.
There's been a bit of reno since, meaning they moved the bar to the back of the room and provided bands with a dedicated area to sell merch, but that's about all that's changed. It's still dark, dank, smells a little bit, but it's the place that in 1994 had the likes of the Hanson Brothers, Collective Soul, and Oasis perform there. You tell the Gallagher brothers they're wrong about the place.
