The stage is a pretty decent size, I'm intrigued to come back another night and see the vibes. There's a parking lot right next to the Crown St entrance which is convenient. I only got one mixed drink. It wasn't full of ice so I feel like it was pretty fair price wise. The bartender and security listened to me yap so they were cool in my book.

It's my understanding that there host events that are seated, but ask that question before you make a purchase. I enjoyed the concert I attended. I felt safe and the drinks are on point! They pour for adults so if you are a lightweight, bring a designated driver along. The staff are friendly and just want to do their job well. The photographers are there to snap pictures of the crowd and the band, so let them work too. Great spot!!

The last few shows I've been to I've been able to stand right at the stage. They do have a bar there for folks that drink or they do serve water as well for folks that don't. Sound is pretty good there as well. I've seen bands such as The Spill Canvas, Pete Yorn, Smile Empty Soul, Kamenar, Hearts and Hand grenades, Mom rock and so many more. You could also rent out this location or at least you used to be able to host a private event. I hosted a benefit concert many moons ago.

Get there earlier and leave early if you don't want traffic! There is multiple street sections that are FREE!! We were lucky enough to park in somebody's driveway for less parking than the venue charged but even with parking at the venue, we've only had to wait a short while for exiting. A little walk isn't that bad! It also depends on WHO is performing. The crowds will be different based on the show so keep that in mind. A Bob Marley tribute had LESS people, HALF the stadium while sublime was SOLD OUT and completely full!! Know your audience!

If you are in Woodstock, you MUST stop here and see a show. It may possibly change your life. It's a little tricky to navigate here in the dark - you feel like you're in the Blair Witch Project, then you will see a beacon of light marking the entrance to the Levon Helms Studio. Follow the light and it will show you the way!

I grew up listening to the music of The Band. The Last Waltz is something I've watched many times…read more But for some reason, I didn't know anything about Levon Helm Studios or the Midnight Ramble until I arrived recently for a friend's birthday. Well, the Ramble and I made that birthday great. It's an amazing show in an amazing venue. They call it The Barn for a reason. All wood everywhere, it's an intimate show with seats all around, above and behind the stage. Apparently Levon designed and acoustically engineered the space himself, and it shows; the sound quality is phenomenal in here. I think any act would sound good in here, but the Ramble blew my mind. The musicianship is incredible. You'll watch people swap guitars for keyboards for drums and show startling prowess on all of them. They brought in all sorts of friends including Graham Lesh and Twisted Pine (the excellent opening act), and literally everyone could play, and sing, and just rock. With some of Levon's family in the band, you'll hear them play his music with real feeling and emotion, and watch them have a great time doing it. I can't recommend this show enough, and I would certainly come back to the venue as well. Be aware that they don't sell drinks and food, which isn't the worst thing in the world because you could pour half a bottle of vodka into into a water bottle with some powdered grape kool-aid because that's all you had on hand, and have a great time. In theory, I mean.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably already know that Yale Repertory is a world-class theater in downtown New Haven. They have multiple productions each year and bring in world-class acts. I've found my brief interactions with people who work here very straightforward but also warm. They really make you feel welcomed here! The two shows I've seen were very thought provoking. Father Comes Home in March 2018 was truly epic and moving. The Prisoner in November 2018 was not as enthralling to me, but it was unique. On our most recent visit, we learned we could not bring in bottles into the theater after it had already been opened. No big deal because we had time to drink it quickly, but keep that in mind.
