    Can't say what "the best" is, but Hammerstein Ballroom is an awesome one.

    I haven't been to Blue Horizon or MSG, but I used to love the Forum and the Home Depot Center in LA truly kicks ass as well.

    Its hard to say now as new venues get built every 2 years...

    I like Olympic Auditorium in LA, the Blue Horizon,and CaesarS

    *Olympic's design gave all seats a decent view
