The Perfect Venue?

With all the tour dates posted i was thinking about the ultimate location for a Pearj jam gig.
The Eden Project, UK hold day long festival gigs in the summer. The center stage at the Eden
sits between the two largest greenhouses in the world, It's a global garden built in what was an
abandonned quarry. Such a special place. They are currently announcing acts for this summer,
got to admit, I'll have my fingers crossed for Pearl Jam.

where would your ultimate gig take place??
Sometimes I speak of nothing at all.

    the best venue i have ever been to is the now defunct SFX in Dublin. i saw smashing pumpkins there in 1995, green day there in 1998 among other bands. the floor is made of wood and used to shake!!! Brill. wish PJ played there. but the venue is gone so id say the Olympia In Dublin. Fab

    i wish i wish i wish i wish, i guess it never stops

    The original Boston Garden was an amazing place to see them. Also, Wuhlheide is on my bucket list of places to see a show.

    Yeah all the old basketball/hockey arenas were the best. The Spectrum, "old" Boston Garden and old Chicago Arena etc. the new ones suck sound wise.

    I'm surprised they put an R in the name since Bostonians can't seem to pronounce that letter.

    I'd like to see them come back to the Orpheum in Boston. I've seen many shows there and it's a great venue.
    I missed the PJ show there in 94 because I had preschool the next day ;)

    I am very curious about Epidavros...
    I have this project of not only getting to see lots of my favorite bands live around the world, but, also, to make it selecting always the best venues.
    In other words, my first criteria to decide to attend a gig is the band and the second, right behind, sometimes even in first place, is the WHERE.
    A "tour de stade", if you may! ;)
    Epidavros is on the list, but right now it seems particularly wise, to me, to wait for the financial and social problems in Greece to slow down a bit...

    Anyway, from the ones I´ve already checked so far I had the amazing blessing of knowing at least 3 of the (apparently) best in the word:
