Went to the sold out Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers concert at Rustler's Rooste last Saturday. It was held out in the big barn, and I gotta say it was a great venue for a concert
I should qualify that. It's a great venue if you're on the taller side. I'm 6'2 so sightlines weren't a problem for me, but the stage is only a few feet off the ground, so if you were a shorter person you were kinda S.O.L.
One of the nicest things was how cool it was in there. There's plenty of AC being pumped down from vents all along the ceiling, and a great breeze coming in.
And then there's the view again. Fantastic to step outside for a beer or a break and have the whole valley spread out before you
There was one downside, though I don't know if it's an issue normally. All the tickets for this concert were Will Call, so there was a ginormous clusterfuck of a line to get into the show because they had to find every freaking person on a printed out list. If I didn't love RCPM as much as I do, I may have bailed and left
Once you were in though, I loved it. The Rooste is a great concert venue, with plenty of beer/liquor stations so never a wait for a beverage
