Vegas isn't the best town to see bands in. mainly becuase, if its not mainstream radio, odds are we are ignored. but when a band does come, odds are it is to the Joint. I have seen many shows here, Muse, Interpol, Death Cab for Cutie, Vampire Weekend, Snow Patrol, The Beastie Boys, Wolfmother, and I could go on. Whats great is that you can always get down close to the band, without really having to push your way through people, which i wont do, but many people do anyways. This is becuase of the 3 leveled floors. But the common theme of almost all shows ive seen here has been dicks. i have seen a number of fights (at fairly peaceful bands), People are always smoking, spilling drinks, and having no regard for those around them. but thats vegas people, not the joint. so i cant knock it down for that. But the venue is clean, rarely sells out (once again, vegas music scene, not the joint), and lets you get close to really good bands.
