Review from Michael K.
Scotch Plains, NJ
Updated - 4/29/2012 3 photos
Surprised no one else has reviewed this place. This is one of the best concert venues around here. Now in its 16th season, last night's show was memorable, a solo performance by Aaron Neville, who, accompanied only by a keyboardist, took the audience on a intimate, 90-min. biographical memoir of his entire career. It's interesting that after starting out very young singing in doo-wop groups, then becoming world famous in a ferocious New Orleans funk band, he now appeals to an almost entirely white, middle-aged pop audience. But, whatever, despite the body piercings and tattoos on his face, the guy is ethereal. In fact, one fan waiting behind me in line was gushing about how he drove 1,400 miles from Alabama just to see this show.
The way this place works is you order your tickets off their website with PayPal, pick them up up to an hour before the show at will-call, and then stand in a queue until 30 minutes before the performance. Staffers walk up and down the line with trays of free cheese and crackers to snack on while you wait, which is pretty cool. Seating is general admission. There is plenty of room to spread out, but you sit on hard wooden pews, because the place is a former Methodist revival tent. Bring a travel seat cushion if you have one.1 Previous Review: Show all »
