Some live music event venues make attending a concert an absolute pleasure because of their ambiance and extremely good sound quality. According to Rolling Stone, one of the best venues for attending a concert in the US is the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. This live music venue opened in 1922 and has such excellent sound quality that the rock bands The Beatles and The Doors recorded live albums there. Other notable stars who have performed at this amphitheater, which has a capacity of 17,500 people, include Kanye West, Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, and Louis Armstrong.

Another live music venue ranked as one of the best places to attend a concert is Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado. This venue has a capacity of about 10,000 people and has been named several times as the best small outdoor venue by Pollstar. What makes it stand out is its stage, which is at the center of two large rocks that provide great acoustics. The location also gives you a great view of the stars and Denver city lights from the comfort of your seat. Many famous artists have performed there, including U2, James Taylor, the Blues Brothers, Coldplay, and The Beatles. The venue is consistently one of the favorite venues to play for many musicians.
