I love going to concerts and I was just wondering do most prefer large Venues or smaller Venues.

Personally I prefer larger venues, but only if the accoustics are right. There's nothing worse than a gig ruined by a bad sound set-up, but there's nothing better than a sing-along to Trouble with 16,000 other Coldplay fans! Fortunately for me sound quality was one of the major factors taken into consideration when the MEN was built

I agree, nothing worse when you have got bad accoustics. I think it depends on who is playing, some bands are better playing in the big venues but then others sound better in the smaller halls.

In terms of big venues nothing beats The Royal Albert Hall, the acoustics there are fantastic.

I must admit tho, I much prefer the atmosphere of smaller venues especially the 100 club in Oxford St. Had some brilliant nights there.

the barrowlands is a great venue - it'll be a shame if it goes.

the location depends purely on the style of music being played. an acoustic set really wouldn't work in a large arena holding 10,000 for example...

I am sorry but I have never been to the barrowlands, sorry to hear is going and if you all say it is good place to hear live music then it is shame if it is going.

Albert Hall does have great acustics.

When we go to hear a live band at a large venue do you think is better in doors or out doors!
