Nice issue, Nrchy!
I was about to visit Pete Gabriel in PNC bank arena in NJ but was realy repulsed by prices on descent listening areas.
Mostly I'm an "underground" listener and prefer see and feel musicians standing next to me and always leand towards small venues.
I plan to do two visits this month to the Knittingfactory NY on Jah Wobble(extra ordinary bass player) concert 6/18 $15 and Magma(french prog rock) 7/1. If you'll be arround NY area, you will never regret if you visit both of these performances.
I almost never miss King Crimson concerts(they've been always in great venues such as Beacon Theatre, Town Hall just only Irwin Plaza sucks) that are in $50 range.
One of my most beloved venues is Bottom Line where tickets are maximum $35 but standard admission price is $22 where I visited a number of the greatest performers: California Guitar Trio, Tony Levin, Pete Hammill(Van Der Graaf Generator), Trilok Gurtu having a seat next to the table with bottle of Pilsner, great sound and athmosphere. Smoking ehem was by the preference of musicians for ones OK for another not OK.
