You’re right, I always thought it was an outdoor venue but looks like it is in a barn.

Codfish Hollow is great! Saw Wilderado there a couple years ago. Such a different experience... but awesome! It is in a really cool barn, but they leave the one end nearly entirely open.



There's usually plenty of room inside the barn for everyone that wants to be in there, but some people just hang out outside, relax on the hillside, and just listen to the music from there.

I have a hankering for an outdoor show this summer. Question for you concert junkies: What are the best outdoor venues in the Midwest?

We’ve been going to stir concert cove in Council Bluffs a few years now. It’s just a big berm on the backside of the casino where you can bring lawn chairs. But they get some smaller or older acts.

Just got back from seeing the Black Keys at Red Rocks. Just an awe inspiring venue for a concert. It was about 56 with light rain, we didn’t dress for getting wet, and there was quite a breeze at times, so we were pretty damn cold but once it started, didn’t matter a bit. The Black Keys were everything I expected too. I loved everything about the whole thing.

Just saw dubFX in Denver, small venue maybe 150 ppl. Gf is a HUGE fan. Great show, really enjoyed it, highly recommend.

Cake at the Astro Amphitheater in La Vista last night. They were really good! There were maybe 3 songs all night that I didn’t recognize. Guess I didn’t expect them to be so old just because they were popular in the 2000’s. But the lead singer is 60. Venue is brand new and a good place to see a concert. Maybe seats 500 at most. Thinking about going back in July to catch Blues Traveler, Gin Blossoms and Spin Doctors.

Agree. Small venue, my kind of atmosphere. Much better than a stadium show.

Were you there??

Just got back from Blackberry Smoke at Val Air. Good show, as good in person as they are recorded. Was very loud, would have been better turned down just a bit, particularly as they sing well and don't need the music to cover it up. At any rate, great to see them in person!
