I'd like to say that my nearly 3-year old comment doesn't do the Jackpot justice anymore.

I've been to many shows at the Jackpot since Oct. 2004, and the difference between then and now is nearly enough to make it seem a different and far better place to see shows than the one I commented on before.

Nick and his crew there have done excellent work beefing up the sound system, raising and increasing the size of the stage, creating more room (at least, that's how it seems; and that's good enough for me) for people to see bands.

So, my 2007 self would like to disagree with my 2004 self (hey, that's my prerogative).

Let's face it: the Jackpot is no place to have a show with a band reasonably likely to bring in more than 75 people.

More than 75 people makes a show at the Jackpot not a show but closer to a rip off.

The Decemberists SOUNDED good: but one doesn't go to a show simply to HEAR a band.

And last night this patron was better served standing outside listening to the show than by trying to squeeze into the Jackpot's far-not-large-enough floor space.

Great bands, but a terrible place for them to play.

Oh -- the bartenders are absolutely TOP NOTCH. Same for the door persons.
