I love the Crescent Ballroom for many reasons. First off I credit them for bringing more shows to the valley. Whoever books for them does a great job, and I feel they can be credited for stimulating the shows that come here. Before five years ago, I would have to travel out of town or state to see a decent gig, things have all changed and I truly feel the CB had a lot to do with that and with inspiring other venues like Valley Bar, to follow suit (may be the same owner too, idk). Secondly, I love that their audio engineers are varied and experienced and many of which get hired from local Audio Engineering school CRAS, the best school for AE and live sound. Thirdly, their food, everything about their food is amazing.
