The stage at the Rave was pretty large. We each had at least 3 feet to our right and left to move around, which is a lot better than the cramped stages that we are usually on (when not on the tour).
We played to a sold out crowd of about 1400. It was a little intimidating, but once people started dancing, everything fell into place. The one downside to the show was that the room had god-awful acoustics. Sound bounced off the walls like a kid hopped up on sugar. I was in a pretty bad spot because I had my monitor, the drummers monitor and the bouncing sound from the crowd providing me with 3 different beats. Fortunately, we played well and were received well.
We were taken on a tour of the venue because there is a lot of history behind it. We saw the boiler room and the creepy ass service tunnels that ran throughout the entire length of the building. It was one of the eeriest places I have ever been and the complete lack of lighting only added to the ambiance of horror.
