    Been at all of those except 9:30. You could be forgetting Hammerjacks in Baltimore. Spent a lot of time at Merriweather Post. Also spent a bunch of time Nissan/Jiffy Lube in Bristow, VA.

    I also went the other way meaning Pittsburgh..........like the old Civic Arena now called Consul or something else now. The old Star Lake Amphitheatre, Post Gazette or Coca-Cola now called Key Bank outside Pittsburgh.

    Also went to numerous concerts at Station Square in Pittsburgh. That had a small amphitheatre also which changed names. Also, Bryce Jordan Center at Penn State University.

    1. Dallas Memorial Auditorium (holds about 10,000). Built in 1957 in downtown Dallas, Texas. Still there but has been added on and significantly modified and has new name. I saw many, many concerts there between 1968 and 1978. I tried to catch most major rock band tours during that era.

    2. Tarrant County Convention Center (Fort Worth, Tx). Holds 13,500. Opened in 1968. Saw many shows there between 1968 and 1978 or so. Very similar venue to the Dallas Memorial Auditorium. Most major touring acts played one of the two places but not both.

    3. City Winery, New York City, original location on Varick Street in lower Manhattan. Probably held 150-200 people at most. I went to more than 100 shows there over the 10 years it was open.

    4. Town Hall, New York City. Capacity 1,495.

    5. The Birchmere, Alexandria VA (Washington DC area), capacity 500.

    6. Honorable Mention: Panther Hall, Ft. Worth Texas. No longer there, but saw many amazing shows there in late 1960s and early 1970s. Mostly a country & western place with dance floor. Maybe held 500 people. But look at the rock band bookings here:

    Since I don't know the exact numbers, I have to say it's a tie between (1) The West Palm Beach Auditorium, and (2) The Hollywood Sportatorium (that's Hollywood, Florida--between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami)

    I grew up in South Florida, including that I lived in the West Palm area for awhile, and there was a period of time where I saw pretty much every show that came to the WPB Auditorium and almost every show at the Hollywood Sportatorium. Both are defunct. The building that was the Auditorium (aka "The Leaky Teepee") still exists, but it was sold to the Jehova's Witnesses and it's a convention center for them now. The Sportatorium (which had all the atmosphere/ambience--and acoustics of a large prison building) was demolished and there's a housing development there.

    The WPB Auditorium was around 5-6.000 seats. So a mid-sized venue. The Hollywood Sportatorium was the 15-17,000-seater. So the Sportatorium was where all of the bigger acts played.

    I'm going to say the top two would be Madison Square Garden, NYC, and PNC Bank Arts Center, Holmdel, NJ (formerly known as The Garden State Arts Center).

    A distant 3rd might be the Beacon Theater, NYC.

    Madison Square Garden - 87* (41 of which were Grateful Dead)
    Beacon Theater - 69*
    State Theater New Brunswick NJ - 51
