It's a big room. Been a while since I've been there. Kind of like the Middle East but 10 times the size and much higher ceiling.

Isn't Lupos where the old Strand used to be now? I think this is their 3rd move in Providence. I've seen many a show at Lupo's(late 80's early 90's) though and really enjoyed myself.

Max Creek...many, many times
Counting Crows
Blues Traveler
Some Rockabelly dude who used to play in the Stray Cats????? I think his name is Brian Setzer??????
There's more but I have to think way to hard to remember who I saw. Killed too many brain cells there for sure!

If reserved seats are available (balcony), I would advise buying them. The open floor can become so crowded that its hard to get a breath of air. I can't stand being in a crowd where people are bumping me from every angle. Been there many times but not in the last 8-10 years.

As Marshcappa mentioned, Lupo's is now where the old Strand was. I don't know if they changed it, but the Strand used to be a pretty good place to see a show. There's a parking garage right there and it's easy to get to. Also, there are some good places nearby if you want some pre-show entertainment.

Eddy,
I was there last fall to see Lucinda Williams - great venue - good sound. Get seats on upper level.

I hate to miss a year ... holding out for Boston but will hit Lupos or other Mass show if that doesn't pan out ... Every year has been differant time periods featured .. If I miss a Flo and Eddy show I'll puke on myself ..

Lupo's is still on Washington St.where its been close to 20yrs(at least since 90 when I got out of the AF).Lupos at the Strand was a different joint altogether and didn't last very long.

Dweezal tix are $29-$60.

got to go eddie, keep me abreast of the situation. We could always fly to Antwerp to see them. We should get upper deck seats and get Matt to go too.
