Though there are general reviews describing Mechanics Hall in Worcester, MA, I did not see any…read morereviews / recommendations about their great Brown Bag Concerts held every season. Please note that I am submitting this review as a resident of the greater Worcester area who had discovered these concerts a few years ago. I have enjoyed them and would recommend this event to anyone who is not working during the day (or working evenings, so this works out for myself and my husband) or might be working in the immediate area (and could take their lunch break at the concert hall). These concerts are held in the upper grand concert hall, at noon for about one hour, and they are FREE! Since Mechanics Hall is a NFP organization, they acknowledge at the beginning of each concert that these are made possible by WICN public radio and this past year, they also indicated Bank of America was a sponsor. The radio station broadcasts these concerts live. The next set of concerts will start on March 10, 2010 and they are 4 scheduled concerts in a row - these can be viewed at this webpage: http://www.mechanicshall.org/tickets/brownbag.html The previous set of concerts held during Dec. 2009 was one of the best ones I can remember, which included Syncopation (a cappella vocalists who performed at Boston's Independence Day 2009 concert), Eguie Castrillo & his Latin Jazz Band, Miss Tess & the Bon Ton Parade and the Grace Kelly Quintet. (Grace is an exceptionally talented, young sax player & composer who has played many top venues). Many of the artists will have their own CDs available for purchase at back table. Mechanics Hall sets up round tables in the concert hall itself where people can purchase 'a brown bag' lunch and drink or folks can bring in their own lunch. These concerts were so well attended in Dec. that even the balconies were filled close to capacity. This place has great acoustics, it is elegant and very comfortable. People can leave a donation but there is no admission fee.

The popular haunt for rock and metal,but let's explore what this venue used to be…read more... Welcome to the preserved historic home of the Plymouth Theatre. It opened in November 1928. It hosted acts and short movie performances of the day . It closed in 1965. It reopened in 1967 for a performance by Dean Martin. Over the years it has been a venue for performances of various art styles. Now it's a place for rock and roll music. The theater was designed for the best possible audience at every corner the sound quality is clean and great. It offers two levels. It's a great place to listen to metal music. The service is good with the bar offering a variety of options for drinks. If you want something to drink even water you will have to purchase it. No outside anything. The best is about to begin. The bands are playing, let's get it done!

The palladium used to be my second home. I absolutely adored this venue. Even the staff loved me. I…read moremade hundreds of incredible memories. I started going to shows at age 12, up until a few years ago. I was heading to the bathrooms and saw a friend who was very drunk and looked like he needed a friend. I was 25 at the time. I was there with my now ex boyfriend. My friend dragged me into the men's room, threw me in a stall, closed the door and trapped me. Then he was exposing himself to me and I begged him to stop and to let me go. I was crying for help when one of the staff came in, and was so cruel to me, he wouldn't let me say a word to him, he kicked us both out. I immediately felt embarrassed and nauseated at what happened. I still have night terrors about it. It has taken me this long to actually say something. The man who wouldn't let me tell what happened, and who marched me out the door, was scaring me. I had done nothing wrong. I was concerned for a friend and that got me kicked out of a place that I thought I was safe at. And on my birthday! If that man reads this, I hope he realizes that it was because of the way he treated me that I have never gone back there. If he had just heard me out, and allowed me to explain that I was trapped in that stall begging to get out while my so called friend touched himself in front of me, and allowed me to go back to where my boyfriend was, and finish the show, on my birthday, if he had just listened and not been so nasty to me, I may have felt saved by this cruel staff member, and he would have known how grateful I was that he came barging in, in what I thought was being saved, and I would have felt safe there once more, knowing the staff had my back, and I could continue going to see my favorite bands. The palladium should feel lucky I'm only giving 2 stars rather than one. It wasn't all bad, but that one bad event basically nullified every other event. But women are constantly blamed when stuff like this happens to them. My second home became my nightmare. I can never go back to my happy place. If I did I'd be looking over my shoulder rather than enjoying the show. So thanks for ruining the one place I loved so much.
