Listener Memories

Whether you love our Top 12 performance venue picks, or are ready to trash the dressing room in a fit of rage, it’s undeniable that you have some great memories of Pittsburgh concerts. We asked you to submit your favorite recollections of live music. Here are a few of them.

"Graffiti was just the best in terms of acoustics, in terms of dancing space, in terms of flexibility for different acts, local vs. national representation, etc. —I really miss it!" – K.C.

"Meeting Stevie Ray Vaughn in the kitchen at The Decade…" – Lisa

"Pink Floyd, Syria Mosque, 1969 or 1970. By this time we had found an easy way to sneak into the Mosque. Lift a friend up to reach the fire escape, to the right side of the Mosque’s front door. Run up the fire escape to the first balcony, pound on the emergency exit door. Only one time were we refused entry and had to dash up to the third floor for entry. Great times…" – Chuck
