| - Been to so many concerts here: Buck Cherry, Return to Forever, Cheap Trick, Boston, Counting Crows, Sublime, Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, Devo, and even attended as a volunteer pouring for New Holland during the Pittsburgh Craft Beer Fest. Always had a great time be it an outdoor show or an indoor event.
Last night I saw Gaelic Storm. I've seen them a number of times and they have never disappointed. Great show! But every show has been good at Stage AE (with the exception of the Slightly Stupid concert who didn't take the stage until after 10:00 pm on a "school night"). The venue is the perfect size for live act. Not a bad seat/view anywhere.
I always have a good time there and the atmosphere is just perfect. Something about the place just screams, "Lets rock and roll!" Last year my girlfriend, at the age of 55, body surfed during the Sublime concert and is so proud to tell about it! And somehow, without even trying or with predetermined intent, I always end up in the first or second row by the end of the concert. I've got tickets to see Todd Rundgren in April and the Bare Naked Ladies with the Violent Femmes in May. Looking forward to more rocking good times.
My only knock on the place is that the drinks are expensive and you're not permitted to bring drinks in from the outside. My advice is to pre-lube either on your tailgate or at one of the venues outside of the place and simply enjoy the concert and ignore the concession stands inside. If enough people did that, perhaps they would bring their prices down to a more reasonable cost.
