Two of the best shows i ever saw was The Fixx at The Vic, and King Crimson (on The Beat tour, i think) at the Park West. Both in Chicago.
The Vic maybe holds 800 people, the PW maybe a thousand.
But, when i say little, i mean LITTLE. As in maybe 40-60 chairs.
My last 2 bands couldn't fit our gear in a place that small.
The smallest place we played in those bands was the joint right near where we all lived. Seats around 125, with a fire code capacity of 180 something. We played almost all holidays there for nearly 20 years. Darned convenient.
