I'll be honest, I enjoy those smaller shows so much more. Saw ACDC last year and felt like I was sitting in the next state and $250 a ticket. Meanwhile, I have seen L.A. Guns, Sebastian Bach, Quiet Riot, Yngwie, etc. at this club I go to with other like minded metalheads and have like 4 to 5 bands for $25 to $45 typically. Everyone is cool, close to the stage, etc.
