Sometimes it's a venue, sometimes it the weather, sometimes it's the band and sometimes it's where you are in the venue.
Weather- Woodstock 94 - mud, rain, too many people and muddy bathrooms.
Yuck. Worse was 2nd year all points west. First year good weather awesome, second year poured first day and second day the whole place smelled like bathroom mud.
Venue - I could name several big and medium sized venues that have good sound in the front but get up in the rafters and awful . Someone mentioned alpine valley I was 2nd row center one day awesome venue. Next day in the lawn area sucked.
Small venue not a concert space. I saw idlewild in a loft, the speakers were crap and the setup was a mess . Let alone they played on the floor so you couldn't se them. I saw black rebel motorcycle club play the back corner of the bar. you had to look thru beams to see them and sound bounced off the walls.
Cbgb's in the 70-80's. Venue smelt of urine and to go to bathroom you had to go down stair and walk thru water to ***.
