| - Black Keys=5 stars, hands down
This venue=3 stars when you enter and leave, but 5 stars in the actual venue. Averaged out, 4 stars. Weird vibe coming in. Everyone is herded in like cattle. Apparently the guy who was supposed to direct women to a separate line from men was preoccupied while flirting with what appeared to be underaged young girls, so one of the security ladies yelled at me for being in the wrong line. Once we got in, we waited in a beer line for at least 30 minutes, no exaggeration. At the helm of the line were 2 middle age ladies, who were super overwhelmed. We finally got our beer. A Michelob Shock Top, which was considered Premium, a joke in itself, but only $8 for 24 ounces. Once we sat down, the venue was awesome. We sat in the grass, on the side, and could see the Black Keys and the entire stage. The sound was great. Seemed like everyone was having a great time. Beer #2 only took about 10 minutes. As the show ends, more chaos erupts. The bathrooms are closed, so everyone has to be herded out and the only restrooms are in the same hallway as the only exit. Very strange set up. I will definitely return, but maybe not for a sold out show.
