Another grand old theatre, this one dating back to 1922, that has been converted into a rock and pop venue in later life. A step up from the Fillmore in terms of capacity, the ornate, 2,100-seat room hosts major national and international acts, many making their last stop on the circuit before vaulting to arena-sized venues. It's very well designed: even the rearmost balcony seats have good views of the stage.
