text: Cannot say anything bad about this please and believe me I have reviewed some bad places before I love LIVE nnI am a local concert photographer and shot A LOT When I am hired for a show at this venue I jump at the opportunity nnIf you did not know it was there you would probably miss it But get off McClintock at and headed a mile north It is on your left at the corner The front is unassuming and mostly you will end up going in the side door This side door opens to the rear of the venue that is absolutely huge It is essentially a concrete slab in the back with those hugh tall shipping containers stacked on top of each other to make back walls It is very cool There is elevated seating all along one side where if you stand or sit you can see over the center floor crowd to the large stage One of of this area has a bar that opens onto the back of the actual building Beers are absolutely reasonable and they carry domestic and all local craft brews too Their whiskey is in line with many Tempe haunts not the over expensive Scottsdale pricesnnI mentioned the stage because it is great As a photographer I have been to some stages where the lights are so bad it is tough to even begin to shoot a show but both the lighting and sound here are top notch There is a large rigging that goes about up behind and above the front of the stage so lighting is not an issue The guy who runs sound here may even own the place he is white and bald is an absolute perfectionist when it comes to his audio It is always greatnnSometimes between bands on large shows they do floor shows They once had this art group of women with metals plates attached to bikinis they danced around and had metal grinders shoot sparks off their bodies You are definitely in for a treat at Live nnI mentioned the outside stage but there is also an inside stage The two stages back up to one another so they can open this large garage door and move equipment between the two stages quickly While the inside stage is much smaller the lights are still good and it is intimate I have seen the inside totally packed and everyone loved the show They just danced together as a big unit and enjoyed the shownnBouncers are great and do not give me hassle when I need to move behind the rope to get side stage shots or even shots from behind the bands They have always been accommodating and friendly but they also run a tight ship and I have never seen anyone get unruly at this place For the bands they also have a green room which is a green trailer that sits off to the side of the stage Inside is a bank of theatre mirrors and a prep table comfy couches and chairs and a private bathroom with shower Good area and good times completely at this venue
