NFT: Good music venues (smaller) in Philly?

Beezer : 1/13/2019 4:06 pm
Philly-area folks, could you recommend a couple/few good smaller music venues I could look into for March events? Looking for something along the lines of the Paramount in Huntington (Long Island) or the State Theater in Ithaca.

Gracias.

Maybe only thing, is the music venues.

I saw some incredible shows with crowds from 70,000 to a few hundred. I'll stick to the small ones.

Trocadero - i saw Neil Young there. It wasn't advertised as a Neil Young show, but a buddy and I figured it out. Got seats in balcony about 12 ft from Neil.

23 East Caberet - speaking of buddy, i saw Buddy Guy and Ron Wood at 23 East (separate shows).

Tower Theater- a little larger than ones above. Saw Pete Townshend there.

Electric Factory - saw World Party there.

There's a place a little further west on the mainline (near Villanova) where I saw NRBQ. (was standing close to a speaker; hearing in left ear never quite the same).

Have fun Beezer

82 miles is more than a little.
