| - Ok...first things first, I can't imagine a better place in Phoenix to go see Rakim. It was bomb diggity and if it was possible to Yelp a person, I would give him ALL 5 stars...
I agree with Dolores G, this is a solid 3.5 star place (I can't stand going to concerts in places where there are like 10,000 screaming, annoying fans and groupies, I really love the size of Celebrity Theater).
The opening acts varied from WTF?-Did-he-just -light-a-ciggy-on stage-instead-of-try-to-rap/sing-all-of-the-words-to-his-performance? (Dude, put the glow stick down and focus on getting your lungs in better shape and try to show a little stamina!) to Holy-COW-that-little-guy-has-more-energy-than-the-Easter Bunny (who moonlights as the Energizer Bunny, if you didn't already know)...
The seats aren't terribly comfortable (we opted for the higher end $$ seating, cup holders are there, but it's not exactly cushy), but since we only sat during the opening acts it wasn't that big of a deal (well...not for me, since I'm "height-challenged"...however, unfortunately for Mikey, he is 6 foot 32,481 inches tall" and he looked squished, temporarily).
Nice venue, love the set-up, I think that it could use a little bit of a nip/tuck to make it more comfortable, drinks are pretty reasonable (for a venue), the staff was super nice to us and even showed us to our seats and the crowd was fun/ny.
