apparently the acoustics have been tweaked (still not perfect I hear)...and you get one inch more leg room...woohoo. Got to agree, chalk and cheese compared with the Astoria

With my back problems, I can't sit for too long, so I'd prefer an option to stand.

The acoustics may not be perfect but I'm fairly certain they're miles better than the SBE/Astoria.

Here are some shots of the Roundhouse - I reckon TD could do loads with this space, especially if they ever use Surround-Sound...

I don't understand what the problem is. If the band are happy for you to take pictures, then the venue should keep quiet IMO.

It would seem that the price of the ticket, doesn't automatically entitle you to enjoy yourself. In truth, it would seem strange not having to avoid the "Camera Gestapo". England appears to be the worst country for this type of "jobsworth" behaviour.

hmmm I'd be interested to hear what it's like in the States, but on personal experience it does seem as if the UK is pretty bad.
