You guys probably haven't enjoy 1st Ave as much as I did when I lived in MN. I literally saw dozens of underage shows there. Many of bands before they "made it." I've never liked stadium shows, the quality of the music just sucks in a big metal barn... I cant even list all the great bands I saw there, none of them put on bad shows really, and many I believe I saw the best they had to offer in getting to see them in a small club... Alice In Chains, Helmet, Pearl Jam, Pantera, Blues Traveler, Walt Mink, S.T., just to name a few...
I saw tons of bands there when I was growing up (Offspring, Weezer...more...), and going there after bar close was always entertaining on a Saturday night...

From my understanding it will be back in operation soon. There was a lawsuit from the two previous managers who are now the owners of the building. Sounds like they will re-open soon under new name.

They have shit for concerts there now because they arent sponsored by clear channel. All the good concerts are at the quest now.
Fuck Clear Channel!
