I was wondering, maybe somebody that has been to these 2 clubs can comment if these venues are good, or crap for concerts!
Either: The Horseshow Tavern, or Lee's Palace ??
Reason i am asking, is because i wanna go check out JPE, and these are his Toronto dates!
thanks
i've only been to Lee's Palace, and i think its a really sweet venue to see a show
Both venues are General Admision, right?
Lee's Palace is much better suited to viewing a show, in that there are good sightlines from pretty much every spot in the club. The celings are high, maybe 20 feet, and the stage is fairly big/elevated.
The Horseshow is small, dark and cramped - awesome for a sweaty rock show, but the sightlines are crap, the stage is small and low to the ground, and the layout is not that conducive to watching a show.
Making it to the washroom at either venue is a bit of a task in that you have to make it to the door, and then tackle a flight of stairs. (For what it's worth, the bathroom at The Horseshoe is much nicer/bigger/cleaner than Lee's.
Both venues have good sound systems.
Lots of historical musical significance at both venues.
My choice is Lee's Palace.
just saw thornley at lee's. Great venue for a smaller band to play at.
Both are great, Historically the 'Shoe has more nostalgia tied to it, cool pictures on the wall. sound is great most of the time, I saw JPE there a couple of years ago and was great.
Lee's is a great venue with a good vibe as well. Saw the Hip there a couple of years ago.
Been to both many times, never been disappointed in either.
