canadianice Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 The Birch Hill Night Club /now The Starland Ballroom, Slayerville NJ. What a sh1thole and fire trap. I saw Clutch there twice but the place is a deathtrap and would NEVER go back. http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w276/custom55/birchhill_2_zpscoftfwfs.jpg http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w276/custom55/636135875948952462-ClubsBirchHill_zpssiqae8ey.jpg The Birch Hill ... ugghhh The first time I was ever there was the UFO reunion in 1995 ... I had no idea that the concert area was adjacent to the dance club area - and that it was all part of a recreational community with some depressing old swimming pool and playground .. I haven't been there since it has changed to The Starland Ballroom Birch Hill: I remember they had the bouncers with headsets standing on raised platforms in the crowd. As soon as someone misbehaved, they'd jumped into the crowd to address the issue. I haven't been to the Starland Ballroom. I'm too old to deal with the nonsense the comes with a large crowd in a small space. The Guess Who recorded their great live album at this venue, I still listen to that a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianice Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 In Seattle. Have seen a lot of shows here. My buddy was front row balcony for Rush in '76 at this venue. I still hate him for it. :-) http://maxazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/bonamassa02.jpg Fabulous acoustics, beautiful place. Seats about 3500. Second pic is from the balcony. I had front row balcony for The Kinks in the mid-80s.I had the shot below ready for pasting, but had to check first, figuring you might post some, too. A beautiful venue with great sound I saw DEVO here in the early 80's, and Mark Mothersbaugh descended from the ceiling on a rope over the audience. http://d2npu017ljjude.cloudfront.net/images/custom/945-1.jpgIn Seattle.

greyfriar Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 "Balver Höhle"!!! Spectacular scenery!!! Sadly I didn't have the chance yet to attend the "German Kultrock Festival ". It is held once a year in the Balve cave, which is located in the German Sauerland region. Mostly five to six bands play on three different stages ( ;)). I've heard fantastic things about the acoustics in the different chambers of the cave. What a freaky, fukkin' good idea for a festival location. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
