My 1st concert at The Joint and I got to get real cozy with the place as we were all waiting on beloved yet notoriously late rock and roll star Axl Rose to take the stage.  Show was supposed to be 10PM but it was almost 2 hours later that Axl made his appearance with Guns N Roses--and they played until after 3AM.  \n\nThe venue looks just about like the Moody Theater/ACL Live in Austin though if you've never been there this would be completely irrelevant.  What I'm saying is that the venue is intimate enough to make you feel like you are up close yet big enough to hold thousands of people (thank you 2009 renovations).  There is the stage, and a concert pit area coming out from there and then 2 other levels above that.  Lots of famous musicians have played here including Aerosmith, Motley Crue and last year's residency of Tiesto.  This year Guns N Roses picked The Joint to do their 2ish week run of shows.  \n\nThe sound system is great speaking from a perspective of being in front of the stage on the floor though I have no idea what the effects are from the other levels as I have heard mixed things.  Drinks will cost you your first born child but you can save up as a concert of your life might be worth it.
